For EC2, you can check out http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CloudConfig for details on the security settings.
Note that on EC2, it's likely easiest if you place all your nodes in the same region. You can still make redundant/HA deployment using availability zones. If you use multiple AZs in the same region, you can use internal IPs in the storage-conf.xml file. If you use multiple regions, you must use external IPs (and open the security groups accordingly).
