A FRAMEWORK USING SSL AND TLS PROTOCOLS IN BIG DATA ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

Secure Socket Layer (SSL)protocol and Transport Layer Security(TLS) protocol are security
protocols applied on the web, distributed systems, and private LANs to secure link between the server and client. In
theory SSL and TLS uses public key encryption and thus public key encryption can provide flexible and strong way to
authenticate the users in a distributed system such as distributed big data. For this reason, SSL and TSL are chosen
as a protocol to argue the topic of this paper. SSL and TSL guarantee the integrity of the data served by various
nodes without requiring the changes to the client. This paper serves as a resource to the user of the big data to know
about the common protocols in the distributed data security. Through SSL and TLS are not only the secure protocols,
but it was involved in sensitive data like password and financial transactions. Moreover, this protocols of choice will
put into arguing why the most deployed user authentication mechanism like Kerberos will fail to provide protection
against man in the middle attack in big data distributed system. Finally, this paper shall put into display how SSL
and TLS can be used to provide secure transactions in the big data Distributed system and to give a complete
framework in security management system that can be incorporated using SSL and TLS.
