HI, There is some work being done on security in Kafka: Confluence: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Security Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1682
It seems like the main blockers are KAFKA-1477 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1477>, KAFKA-1691 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1691> and KAFKA-1690 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1690>. Is there an anticipated road map for when all the security features will be done and merged in to trunk?
