Administrar claves

Tink ofrece soluciones para evitar la administración de claves inadecuada, que es una gran fuente de riesgo.

Descripción general

Después de seleccionar un tipo primitivo y de clave para tu caso de uso (en la sección anterior Quiero...), administra tus claves con el sistema de administración de claves (KMS) externo que elegiste:

  1. Crea una clave de encriptación de claves (KEK) en el KMS para proteger tus claves.

  2. Recupera un URI de clave y credenciales de clave de tu KMS para pasar a Tink.

  3. Usa las APIs de Tink o Tinkey para generar un conjunto de claves encriptado. Después de encriptar tus claves, puedes almacenarlas donde quieras.

  4. Rota las claves para evitar su uso excesivo y recuperarte de la vulneración de estas.

Paso 1: Crea una KEK en el KMS externo

Crea una clave de encriptación de claves (KEK) en tu KMS externo. La KEK protege tus claves, ya que las encripta, lo que agrega una capa de seguridad adicional.

Consulta la documentación específica de KMS para crear una KEK:

Paso 2: Obtén credenciales y un URI de clave

Puedes recuperar tanto un URI de clave como credenciales de clave de tu KMS.

Obtén el URI de la clave

Tink requiere un identificador de recursos uniforme (URI) para funcionar con claves de KMS.

Para construir este URI, usa el identificador único que el KMS asigna a la clave cuando se crea. Agrega el prefijo específico específico de KMS apropiado y sigue el formato de los URI de clave admitidos, como se describe en esta tabla:

KMS Prefijo del identificador KMS Formato de URI de la clave
AWS KMS aws-kms:// aws-kms://arn:aws:kms:[region]:[account-id]:key/[key-id]
KMS de GCP gcp-kms:// gcp-kms://projects/*/locations/*/keyRings/*/cryptoKeys/*
HashiCorp Vault hcvault:// hcvault://[key-id]

Obtén las credenciales clave

Prepara las credenciales necesarias para que Tink pueda autenticarse en el KMS externo.

La forma exacta de la credencial es específica de KMS:

Si no proporcionas credenciales, Tink intentará cargar las credenciales predeterminadas. Para obtener más información, consulta la documentación específica de KMS:

Paso 3: Crea y almacena un conjunto de claves encriptado

Usa las API de Tink (para Google Cloud KMS, AWS KMS o HashiCorp Vault) o Tinkey para generar un conjunto de claves, encriptarlo con el KMS externo y almacenarlo en algún lugar.

Tinkey

tinkey create-keyset --key-template AES128_GCM \
  --out-format json --out encrypted_aead_keyset.json \
  --master-key-uri gcp-kms://projects/tink-examples/locations/global/keyRings/foo/cryptoKeys/bar \
  --credential gcp_credentials.json

Java

Para este ejemplo, necesitas la extensión tink-java-gcpkms de Google Cloud KMS.

/**
 * A command-line utility for working with encrypted keysets.
 *
 * <p>It requires the following arguments:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>mode: Can be "generate", "encrypt" or "decrypt". If mode is "generate", it will generate a
 *       keyset, encrypt it and store it in the key-file argument. If mode is "encrypt" or
 *       "decrypt", it will read and decrypt an keyset from the key-file argument, and use it to
 *       encrypt or decrypt the input-file argument.
 *   <li>kek-uri: Use this Cloud KMS' key as the key-encrypting-key for envelope encryption.
 *   <li>gcp-credential-file: Use this JSON credential file to connect to Cloud KMS.
 *   <li>input-file: If mode is "encrypt" or "decrypt", read the input from this file.
 *   <li>output-file: If mode is "encrypt" or "decrypt", write the result to this file.

Paso 4: Rota las claves

Para garantizar la seguridad de tu sistema, debes rotar las claves.

  1. Habilita la rotación automática de claves en KMS.
  2. Determina una frecuencia adecuada para rotar claves. Esto depende de qué tan sensibles sean tus datos, cuántos mensajes necesites encriptar y si debes coordinar la rotación con socios externos.

    • En el caso de la encriptación simétrica, usa claves de 30 a 90 días.
    • En el caso de la encriptación asimétrica, la frecuencia de rotación puede ser menor, pero solo si puedes revocar claves de forma segura.

Obtén más información sobre la rotación de claves en la documentación específica de KMS:
