[jira] [Comment Edited] (SPARK-47172) Upgrade Transport block cipher mode to GCM
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-47172?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17838474#comment-17838474 ]

----------------------------------------------------------------------
We do not backport features to released versions - so TLS will be in 4.x, not 3.x
Given the security implications for SPARK-47318, it was backported to 3.4 and 3.5 - as it was fixing a security issue in existing functionality.
This proposal reads like a new feature development, which would typically be out of scope for 3.x
Given TLS, it would not very useful for 4.x either ?

> Key: SPARK-47172
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-47172
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Security
> Affects Versions: 3.4.2, 3.5.0
> Reporter: Steve Weis
> Priority: Minor
>
> The cipher transformation currently used for encrypting RPC calls is an unauthenticated mode (AES/CTR/NoPadding). This needs to be upgraded to an authenticated mode (AES/GCM/NoPadding) to prevent ciphertext from being modified in transit.
> The relevant line is here: [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/a939a7d0fd9c6b23c879cbee05275c6fbc939e38/common/network-common/src/main/java/org/apache/spark/network/util/TransportConf.java#L220]
> GCM is relatively more computationally expensive than CTR and adds a 16-byte block of authentication tag data to each payload.
