I am new to elasticsearch. I have installed a basic 3 nodes cluster and it is running and can verify through kibana. I can't find simple step by step guild of securing the cluster (TLS , SSL). I found an example but it is for a single node cluster. Could you please point me to a guid/tutorial which has the steps of implementing the cluster basic security.

The [Configuring Security](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-security.html) page is a good place to start. There is information there on securing inter-node communication.

@whatgeorgemade: thanks for your reply. I will have a look to see if I understand it. I was hoping for a simple step by step guild to introduce security in my sandbox cluster.
