> In the current version of RPC, there is no authentication or data protection. 
>  We propose to change the RPC framework, so that secure communication is 
> possible.
> The new RPC should:
> - Compatible with current RPC
> - Allow a pluggable security implementations (see HADOOP-1701)
> - Support both secure and non-secure modes.
> Here is a rough idea:
> - Store security information (e.g. username, keys) in a ticket
> - Use the ticket to establish a RPC connection
> - Create secure sockets by the (subclass of) SocketFactory corresponding to 
> the selected security implementations
> - Send the data and RPC parameters with the secure sockets
> When authentication is supported, the RPC callee should also initialize 
> caller information during RPC setup and execute the RPC on the caller's 
> behalf.
