[PATCH 5/6] fscrypt: cache the HMAC transform for each master key

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

Now that we have a key_hash field which securely identifies a master key
payload, introduce a cache of the HMAC transforms for the master keys
currently in use for inodes using v2+ encryption policies.  The entries
in this cache are called 'struct fscrypt_master_key' and are identified
by key_hash.  The cache is per-superblock.  (It could be global, but
making it per-superblock should reduce the lock contention a bit, and we
may need to keep track of keys on a per-superblock basis for other
reasons later, e.g. to implement an ioctl for evicting keys.)

This results in a large efficiency gain: we now only have to allocate
and key an "hmac(sha512)" transformation, execute HKDF-Extract, and
compute key_hash once per master key rather than once per inode.  Note
that this optimization can't easily be applied to the original AES-based
KDF because that uses a different AES key for each KDF execution.  In
practice, this difference makes the HKDF per-inode encryption key
derivation performance comparable to or even faster than the old KDF,
which typically spends more time allocating an "ecb(aes)" transformation
from the crypto API than doing actual crypto work.

Note that it would have been possible to make the mapping be from
raw_key => fscrypt_master_key (where raw_key denotes the actual bytes of
the master key) rather than from key_hash => fscrypt_master_key.
However, an advantage of doing lookups by key_hash is that it replaces
the keyring lookup in most cases, which opens up the future
possibilities of not even having the master key in memory following an
initial provisioning step (if the HMAC-SHA512 implementation is
hardware-backed), or of introducing an ioctl to provision a key to the
filesystem directly, avoiding keyrings and their visibility problems
entirely.  Also, because key_hash is public information while raw_key is
secret information, it would have been very difficult to use raw_key as
a map key in a way that would prevent timing attacks while still being
scalable to a large number of entries.
