Server-side encryption +means that the data is sent over HTTP in its unencrypted form, and the Ceph +Object Gateway stores that data in the Ceph Storage Cluster in encrypted form. + +.. note:: Requests for server-side encryption must be sent over a secure HTTPS + connection to avoid sending secrets in plaintext. If a proxy is used + for SSL termination, ``rgw trust forwarded https`` must be enabled + before forwarded requests will be trusted as secure. + +Customer-Provided Keys +====================== + +In this mode, the client passes an encryption key along with each request to +read or write encrypted data. It is the client's responsibility to manage those +keys and remember which key was used to encrypt each object. + +This is implemented in S3 according to the `Amazon SSE-C`_ specification. + +As all key management is handled by the client, no special configuration is +needed to support this encryption mode. + +Key Management Service +====================== + +This mode allows keys to be stored in a secure key management service and +retrieved on demand by the Ceph Object Gateway to serve requests to encrypt +or decrypt data. + +This is implemented in S3 according to the `Amazon SSE-KMS`_ specification. + +In principle, any key management service could be used here, but currently +only integration with `Barbican`_ is implemented. + +See `OpenStack Barbican Integration`_. + +Automatic Encryption (for testing only) +======================================= + +A ``rgw crypt default encryption key`` can be set in ceph.conf to force the +encryption of all objects that do not otherwise specify an encryption mode. + +The configuration expects a base64-encoded 256 bit key. For example:: + + rgw crypt default encryption key = 4YSmvJtBv0aZ7geVgAsdpRnLBEwWSWlMIGnRS8a9TSA= + +.. important:: This mode is for diagnostic purposes only! The ceph configuration + file is not a secure method for storing encryption keys. Keys that are + accidentally exposed in this way should be considered compromised. + + +.. _Amazon SSE-C: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/ServerSideEncryptionCustomerKeys.html +.. _Amazon SSE-KMS: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingKMSEncryption.html +.. _Barbican: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Barbican +.. _OpenStack Barbican Integration: ../barbican |
