# Encrypted Persistent Volume Claims
## Proposal
Subject of this proposal is to add support for encryption of RBD volumes in
Ceph-CSI with type LUKS version 2.
Some but not all the benefits of this approach:
* guarantee encryption in transit to rbd without using messenger v2
* extra security layer to application with special regulatory needs
* at rest encryption can be disabled to selectively allow encryption only where
required
## Document Terminology
* volume encryption: encryption of a volume attached by rbd
* encryption at rest: encryption of physical disk done by ceph
* LUKS: Linux Unified Key Setup: stores all the needed setup information for
dm-crypt on the disk
* dm-crypt: linux kernel device-mapper crypto target
* cryptsetup: the command line tool to interface with dm-crypt
## Proposed Solution
The proposed solution in this document, is to address the volume encryption
requirement by using dm-crypt module through cryptsetup cli interface.
### Implementation Summary
* Encryption is implemented using cryptsetup with LUKS extension. A good
introduction to LUKS and dm-crypt in general can be found
[here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption#Encrypting_devices_with_cryptsetup)
Functions to implement necessary interaction are implemented in a separate
`cryptsetup.go` file.
* LuksFormat
* LuksOpen
* LuksClose
* LuksStatus
* `CreateVolume`: refactored to prepare for encryption (tag image that it
requires encryption later), before returning, if encrypted volume option is
set.
* `NodeStageVolume`: refactored to call `encryptDevice` method on the very first
volume attach request
* `NodeStageVolume`: refactored to open encrypted device (`openEncryptedDevice`)
* `openEncryptedDevice`: looks up for a passphrase matching the volume id,
returns the new device path in the form: `/dev/mapper/luks-<volume_id>`. On
the worker node where the attach is scheduled:
```shell
$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 10G 0 disk
└─sda1 8:1 0 10G 0 part /
sdb 8:16 0 20G 0 disk
rbd0 253:0 0 1G 0 disk
└─luks-pvc-8a710f4c934811e9 252:0 0 1020M 0 crypt /var/lib/kubelet/pods/9eaceaef-936c-11e9-b396-005056af3de0/volumes/kubernetes.io~csi/pvc-8a710f4c934811e9/mount
```
* `detachRBDDevice`: calls `LuksClose` function to remove the LUKS mapping
before detaching the volume.
* StorageClass extended with following parameters:
1. `encrypted` ("true" or "false")
2. `encryptionKMSID` (string representing kms configuration of choice)
ceph-csi plugin may support different kms vendors with different type of
authentication
* New KMS Configuration created.
#### Annotated YAML for RBD StorageClass
```yaml
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
name: csi-rbd
provisioner: rbd.csi.ceph.com
parameters:
# String representing Ceph cluster configuration
clusterID: <cluster-id>
# ceph pool
pool: rbd
# RBD image features, CSI creates image with image-format 2
# CSI RBD currently supports only `layering` feature.
imageFeatures: layering
# The secrets have to contain Ceph credentials with required access
# to the 'pool'.
csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-name: csi-rbd-secret
csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-namespace: default
csi.storage.k8s.io/controller-expand-secret-name: csi-rbd-secret
csi.storage.k8s.io/controller-expand-secret-namespace: default
csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-name: csi-rbd-secret
csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-namespace: default
# Specify the filesystem type of the volume. If not specified,
# csi-provisioner will set default as `ext4`.
csi.storage.k8s.io/fstype: ext4
# Encrypt volumes
encrypted: "true"
# Use external key management system for encryption passphrases by specifying
# a unique ID matching KMS ConfigMap. The ID is only used for correlation to
# configmap entry.
encryptionKMSID: <kms-id>
reclaimPolicy: Delete
```
And kms configuration:
```yaml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
data:
config.json: |-
{
"<kms-id>": {
"encryptionKMSType": "kmsType",
kms specific config...
}
}
metadata:
name: ceph-csi-encryption-kms-config
```
### Implementation Details
The main components that are used to support encrypted volumes:
1. the `EncryptionKMS` interface
* an instance is configured per volume object (`rbdVolume.KMS`)
* used to authenticate with a master key or token
* can store the KEK (Key-Encryption-Key) for encrypting and decrypting the
DEKs (Data-Encryption-Key)
1. the `DEKStore` interface
* saves and fetches the DEK (Data-Encryption-Key)
* can be provided by a KMS, or by other components (like `rbdVolume`)
1. the `VolumeEncryption` type
* combines `EncryptionKMS` and `DEKStore` into a single place
* easy to configure from other components or subsystems
* provides a simple API for all KMS operations
