             Summary: AES-based authentication mechanism for Spark
                 Key: SPARK-19139
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19139
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Marcelo Vanzin


In SPARK-13331, support for AES encryption was added to the Spark network 
library. But the authentication of different Spark processes is still performed 
using SASL's DIGEST-MD5 mechanism. That means the authentication part is the 
weakest link; since the AES keys are currently encrypted using 3des (strongest 
cipher supported by SASL), Spark can't really claim to provide the full 
benefits of using AES for encryption.

We should add a new auth protocol that doesn't need these disclaimers.
