Just to confirm for the layman reader - the fact that the crypto keys are registered with the filesystem and not with the user process doesn't prevent user(s) from having different crypto keys for different subdirs in a single filesystem? Secondly, does this progress fscrypt toward allowing multiple master keys to decrypt a single per-file key?

Correct, that hasn't changed. Different directories can use different keys. > > Secondly, does this progress fscrypt toward allowing multiple master keys > to decrypt a single per-file key? > It's not a goal of this patchset as no one has really been asking for it yet. Per-file keys are still derived from the master key. Note that it's already possible to wrap the master keys in userspace. Thus you can already have multiple passwords that unlock the same encrypted directory. You just can't do this with *individual files*. Maybe that's good enough. However, this patchset does fix the denial of service vulnerabilities that currently exist when users share an encrypted directory. Also, since it adds a real KDF, it makes it much easier to derive a wrapping key to wrap the per-file keys if that were to become a requirement. (The master key could be used as the wrapping key directly, but that's inflexible and more error-prone.) - Eric
I have a couple of patches that add ACLs to keyrings, that you can find at the top of the branch here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=keys-acl I have other patches that allow tags to be used as subjects in the ACL, with a container supplying a tag, e.g.: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/commit/?h=container&id=e0fdc5613a32b9475b025f58e7a2267329b3f3a4 Might something similar be of use to you here, perhaps specifying a tag referring to the blockdev of interest rather than the container?

The main point of adding keys directly to the filesystem is that it's generally inappropriate to apply OS-level access control or process-based visibility restrictions to fscrypt keys given that: - The unlocked/locked status of files is already filesystem-level. - The purpose of encryption is orthogonal to OS-level access control. The ioctl based interface also makes it *much* easier to implement all the semantics needed for removing fscrypt keys. I don't see how key ACLs would be appropriate here, except that key ACLs would allow userspace to opt-in to fixing the denial of service vulnerability where keyctl_invalidate() only requires Search permission. But for fscrypt that's addressed by my proposal too, and is just one of many problems it addresses. - Eric
Hello, This patchset makes major improvements to how keys are added, removed, and derived in fscrypt, aka ext4/f2fs/ubifs encryption. It does this by adding new ioctls that add and remove encryption keys directly to/from the filesystem, and by adding a new encryption policy version ("v2") where the user-provided keys are only used as input to HKDF-SHA512 and are identified by their cryptographic hash. All new APIs and all cryptosystem changes are documented in Documentation/filesystems/fscrypt.rst. Userspace can use the new key management ioctls with existing encrypted directories, but migrating to v2 encryption policies is needed for the full benefits. These changes solve four interrelated problems: (1) Providing fscrypt keys via process-subscribed keyrings is abusing encryption as an OS-level access control mechanism, causing many bugs where processes don't get access to the keys they need -- e.g., when a 'sudo' command or a system service needs to access encrypted files. It's also inconsistent with the filesystem/VFS "view" of encrypted files which is global, so sometimes things randomly happen to work anyway due to caching. Regardless, currently almost all fscrypt users actually do need global keys, so they're having to use workarounds that heavily abuse the session or user keyrings, e.g. Android and Chromium OS both use a systemwide "session keyring" and the 'fscrypt' tool links all user keyrings into root's user keyring. (2) Currently there's no way to securely and efficiently remove a fscrypt key such that not only is the original key wiped, but also all files and directories protected by that key are "locked" and their per-file keys wiped. Many users want this and are using 'echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' as a workaround, but this is root-only, and also is overkill so can be a performance disaster. (3) The key derivation function (KDF) that fscrypt uses to derive per-file keys is nonstandard, inflexible, and has some weaknesses such as being reversible and not evenly distributing the entropy from the user-provided keys. (4) fscrypt doesn't check that the correct key was supplied. This can be a security vulnerability, since it allows malicious local users to associate the wrong key with files to which they have read-only access, causing other users' processes to read/write the wrong data. Ultimately, the solutions to these problems all tie into each other. By adding a filesystem-level encryption keyring with ioctls to add/remove keys to/from it, the keys are made usable filesystem-wide (solves problem #1). It also becomes easy to track the inodes that were "unlocked" with each key, so they can be evicted when the key is removed (solves problem #2). Moreover, the filesystem-level keyring is a natural place to store an HMAC transform keyed by each key, thus making it easy and efficient to switch the KDF to HKDF (solves problem #3). Finally, to check that the correct key was supplied, I use HKDF to derive a cryptographically secure key_identifier for each key (solves problem #4). This in combination with key quotas and other careful precautions also makes it safe to allow non-root users to add and remove keys to/from the filesystem-level keyring. Thus, all problems are solved without having to restrict the fscrypt API to root only. The patchset is organized as follows: - Patches 1-10 add new ioctls FS_IOC_ADD_ENCRYPTION_KEY, FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY, and FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_KEY_STATUS. Adding a key logically "unlocks" all files on the filesystem that are protected by that key; removing a key "locks" them again. - Patches 11-14 add support for v2 encryption policies. - Patches 15-17 wire up the new ioctls to ext4, f2fs, and ubifs. - Patch 18 updates the fscrypt documentation for all the changes. Changes v2 => v3: - Use ->drop_inode() to trigger the inode eviction during/after FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY, as suggested by Dave Chinner. - A few small cleanups. v1 of this patchset was sent in October 2017 with title "fscrypt: filesystem-level keyring and v2 policy support". This revived version follows the same basic design but incorporates numerous improvements, such as splitting keyinfo.c into multiple files for much better understandability, and introducing "per-mode" encryption keys to implement the semantics of the DIRECT_KEY encryption policy flag. This applies to the fscrypt.git tree.
