To secure communication between CQL clients and the YCQL query interface of YugabyteDB, organizations can enable client-to-server encryption in transit using various command line flags. This achieves Goal 1, making it cryptographically impossible to snoop or modify network communications. Verification of server certificates is also crucial, which can be achieved through strict validation of the server certificate's Common Name and Subject Alternate Names. However, verification of client certificates by the server is not currently supported by YugabyteDB. Organizations can also specify a minimum TLS version and customize cipher lists to meet their specific requirements, ensuring Goal 3, enabling the server to identify and verify the client, is achieved. By implementing these settings, organizations can secure their CQL clients and achieve resilience to snooping, while also supporting custom CAs and CA-signed certificates in YugabyteDB Anywhere.
