Abstract
Protection from unauthorized access to data and information is notable challenge within data transmission process. One of the best known public key encryption algorithms is the RSA (Rivest, Shamir, Adleman) algorithm [3], which is based on the principles of number theory. Hadoop supports to authenticate its clients and users using Kerberos for security. This paper suggests the authentication mechanism of Kerberos protocol under HDFS and provide security to the communication channel with help of RSA. It modifies Kerberos protocol by using RSA public key encryption and data signature mechanism. It provides a more reliable and efficient identity authentication solution for HDFS.
