How is security handled between Cassandra seeds and nodes? ie. How to prevent unauthorized replication of my datacenter by posing as my node? I could create a firewall with a whitelist, but is there another mechanism as well?

Enabling node-to-node SSL solves this issue. Essentially, a false node pretending to be legit shouldn't have a matching Java Truststore, and will thus be denied from joining the cluster.
