---------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow option to only encrypt username/password transfer, not data
                 Key: CASSANDRA-10724
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10724
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Thom Valley
            Priority: Minor


Turning on SSL for both client->node and node->node connections is a resource intensive (expensive) operation.

Being able to only encrypt the username/password when passed (or looked up) as an option would greatly reduce the encryption / decryption overhead created by turning on SSL for all traffic.
