padlocker-server's Introduction

PadLocker Design

PadLocker is a client service and web interface designed to enable the mostly-secure delivery of encryption keys in a mostly-trusted environment.

Goals

  • Do not require modification of standard Linux services (allow key reading via normal open() calls)
  • Prevent the need for any encryption keys to be written to disk on client servers
  • Allow rules-based automatic key delivery approval
  • Allow manual approval-based key delivery approval, and require it by default
  • Support LDAP authentication and LDAP group authorization on an individual key basis
  • Support server-side storage of keys in an encrypted, secure-when-off form

Client

  • Take a config file that lists locations on disk of fifos to create/watch, and any metadata required about those files
  • On startup, attempt to create all fifos
  • Watch all fifos for ability to write (preferably with select or something nice)
  • When a fifo is writeable, make a request to the server, including all known metadata about the fifo being read
  • If the connection to the server times out without returning a key, do something reasonable

Server

  • Take a config file that lists keys to be dispersed, including matching patterns for metadata, and authorization information
  • Authenticate web-based users via LDAP
  • Notify users viewing the interface of incoming requests for the contents of fifos
  • Upon automatic or manual approval, return the requested key to the client
