Hadoop Security Design With Kerberos:The new Hadoop security design makes use of three token systems to achieve the highest levels of security :
1. Delegation Tokens,
2. Job Tokens
3. Block Access Tokens in Kerberos
Communication does through a ticket ( Token ) instead direct communication request password.
A Request Ticket is placed from authentication server and the Ticket along with the encrypted request is sent to applicants server.This ticket process goes through the Ticket granting ticket (TGT).
1. Delegation Tokens,
2. Job Tokens
3. Block Access Tokens in Kerberos
- Delegation Tokens – Used for clients to communicate with the NameNode to gain access to HDFS data.
- Block Access Tokens – NameNode and DataNodes use block access token to implement HDFS file system permissions.
- The Job Token – MapReduce engine, Task Tracker and individual tasks used to do the secure communication
