Configuring cluster security

Cluster security secures the core communication between nodes of the cluster. Message security is achieved by encryption mechanism.

Cluster Security supports the following types of encryption keys for message encryption:

• Message Digest 5 (MD5) with Data Encryption Standard (DES)
• MD5 with Triple DES
• MD5 with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

Select an encryption algorithm that is compatible with the security methodology used by your organization. You can configure the security options and options for distributing encryption keys using the SMIT interface or the clctrl command.
