----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 ?

> Upgrade Transport block cipher mode to GCM

> 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:

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