[PATCH 1/6] fscrypt: add v2 encryption context and policy

Wed Jul 12 14:00:30 PDT 2017


From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

Currently, the fscrypt_context (i.e. the encryption xattr) does not
contain a cryptographically secure identifier for the master key's
payload.  Therefore it's not possible to verify that the correct key was
supplied, which is problematic in multi-user scenarios.  To make this
possible, define a new fscrypt_context version (v2) which includes a
key_hash field, and allow userspace to opt-in to it when setting an
encryption policy by setting fscrypt_policy.version to 2.  For now just
zero the new field; a later patch will start setting it for real.

Even though we aren't changing the layout of struct fscrypt_policy (i.e.
the struct used by the ioctls), the new context version still has to be
"opt-in" because old kernels will not recognize it, and the keyring key
will now need to be available when setting an encryption policy, which
is an API change.  We'll also be taking the opportunity to make another
API change (dropping support for the filesystem-specific key prefixes).

Previously, the version numbers were 0 in the fscrypt_policy and 1 in
the fscrypt_context.  Rather than incrementing them to 1 and 2, make
them both 2 to be consistent with each other.  It's not required that
these numbers match, but it should make things less confusing.

An alternative to adding a key_hash field would have been to reuse
master_key_descriptor.  However, master_key_descriptor is only 8 bytes,
which is too short to be a cryptographically secure hash.  Thus,
master_key_descriptor would have needed to be lengthened to 16+ bytes,
which would have required defining a fscrypt_policy_v2 structure and
adding a FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY_V2 ioctl.  It also would have
required userspace to start using a specific hash algorithm to create
the key descriptors, which would have made the API harder to use.
Perhaps it should have been done that way originally, but at this point
it seems better to keep the API simpler.
