Hi,

just out of curiosity and because of Eugene's email, I browsed Kafka-1477 and it talks about SSL alot. So I thought I might throw in this http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7568 RFC. It basically says move away from SSL now and only do TLS. The title of the ticket still mentions TLS but afterwards its only SSL, haven't looked at any patches or library code so I can't really judge what's going on.

Further I found people starting to talk about sendfile(2) TLS support, here for example https://people.freebsd.org/~rrs/asiabsd_2015_tls.pd <https://people.freebsd.org/%7Errs/asiabsd_2015_tls.pd>f. So maybe we can keep this door open that at some point the Kernel will be able to do TLS for us?

HI,

There is some work being done on security in Kafka:
Confluence: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Security
Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1682

It seems like the main blockers are KAFKA-1477
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1477>, KAFKA-1691
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1691>  and KAFKA-1690
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1690>.

Is there an anticipated road map for when all the security features will be
done and merged in to trunk?
