The security framework permits authentication of connecting components and authorization of operations for all communicating components of the distributed system.

-   **[Security Features](../../managing/security/security_intro.html)**

    Encryption, SSL secure communication, authentication, and authorization 
features help to secure the distributed system.

-   **[Security Detail Considerations](../../managing/security/security_audit_overview.html)**

    This section gathers discrete details in one convenient location to better help you assess and configure the security of your environment.

-   **[Security Implementation Overview](../../managing/security/implementing_security.html)**

    Apache Geode can authenticate peer system members and clients. It can also authorize cache operations on a server from clients.

-   **[Enable Security with Property Definitions](../../managing/security/enable_security`.html)**

-   **[Authentication](../../managing/security/authentication_overview.html)**

    A distributed system using authentication bars malicious peers or clients, and deters inadvertent access to its cache.

-   **[Authorization](../../managing/security/authorization_overview.html)**

    Client operations on a cache server can be restricted or completely blocked based on the roles and permissions assigned to the credentials submitted by the client.

-   **[SSL](../../managing/security/ssl_overview.html)**

    SSL protects your data in transit between applications.
