[jira] [Commented] (MESOS-910) Add encryption support for master/slave/framework channels

["Niklas Quarfot Nielsen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-910?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13891078#comment-13891078 ] 

Niklas Quarfot Nielsen commented on MESOS-910:
----------------------------------------------

How about keeping the current HTTP handling, creating an SSL/TLS (and plain) connection abstraction in stout (built on openssl) and create a new HttpsConnection SocketProcess in libprocess?

This change will probably result in many subsequent patches, but would be one way to go. All instances of socket calls would need to be updated.

> Currently all the messages that flow through the Mesos cluster are unencrypted making it possible for intruders to intercept and potentially control your task. We plan to add encryption support by adding SSL/TLS support to libprocess, the low-level communication library that Mesos uses for all network communication between Mesos components.
> As a first step, we should replace the hand-coded http code in libprocess with a standard library, ensuring that any mesos custom code like routing remains. Then, transition to https should be easier.
