Steve Weis commented on SPARK-47172:
------------------------------------

[~mridulm80] What about 3.x? If we backported TLS support, that would be a 
better option. I mentioned this before and it sounded like there was not 
support for backporting TLS at this time.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Security

> 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.

> GCM is relatively more computationally expensive than CTR and adds a 16-byte 
> block of authentication tag data to each payload.
