I am not a MySQL developer, but it sounds to me like you should create a
VIO module based on the OpenSSL VIO. The project may be more widely
useful if you can use SASL + gss_api with Kerberos 5.
Do you also plan to authenticate connections using Kerberos?

Hi, me and my classmate are working on a project that will use Kerberos
and some other functions we wrote as a way to secure the data transfer
between MySQL and the client terminal (which is using JAVA).
We are thinking to change the code in the sql/net_serv.cc, vio/vio.c,
vio/vioxocket.c. Our goal is to make sure whenever the database and the
client talk to each other, it will call the Kerberos and secure the
data.
Would anyone mind to give any suggestion if we are heading in the right
direction?
Thanks
