You can create users with passwords that have ro or rw access at the column family level. For Cassandra 0.7 or earlier, you can find it here: http://www.datastax.com/docs/0.7/configuration/authentication

For version 1.0 and later, authentication has been moved to the sample directory. You can find an example of how to configure it (as before): http://devblog.michalski.im/2012/04/05/adding-simple-authentication-to-cassandra/

In general, Cassandra developers seem to recommend isolating your Cassandra database through a firewall, relying on user / password authentication. If you can go this route, it is very important.

For added security, you can also encrypt the node connection: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/InternodeEncryption
