DAOSSDE-112 Security: Modifications to use of Cryptography #3923

dpquigl · 2020-11-21T19:06:35Z

After peer review the following modifications were requested.

Remove cipher suite AES128-GCM-SHA256 and just offer AES256-GCM-SHA384 as
default.
Reduce certificates to one year lifetime (currently three years)
Replace PKCS Adding a .travis.yml file to trigger CI builds. #1 v1.2 with PKCS Adding a .travis.yml file to trigger CI builds. #1 v2.1/2 if possible. The golang core library
is being used and may not support it yet. Team to verify if it does and, if so,
will try to update.
Add to documentation recommending to customer to use the latest version of
OpenSSL >= 1.1.1h. For this project, the customer is responsible for generating
keys/certs.
Reduce key sizes to 3072 based on expected lifetime of this product

The switch to PSS makes sense, as does the removal of support for the smaller cipher suites. I'm wondering what the motivation is behind decreasing the key size and CA validity period, though.

utils/certs/gen_certificates.sh

@@ -115,10 +115,10 @@ extendedKeyUsage = clientAuth
 function generate_ca_cert () {
    echo "Generating Private CA Root Certificate"
    # Generate Private key and set permissions
-    openssl genrsa -out "${PRIVATE}/daosCA.key" 4096
+    openssl genrsa -out "${PRIVATE}/daosCA.key" 3072


Why the drop in key size?

To be honest I'm not entirely sure. This was the guidance from the crypto team. I'd imagine its due to the fact that 3072 bit keys are computationally difficult enough to break and since its software not hardware that we can update the number if that turns out not to be true in the future.

I think probably a balance between performance and security.
This is what I got on boro-59, there is no option for rsa 3072 size, but it shows the CPU time for the key size:

[boro-59:/home/huakuang]$ openssl speed rsa2048 rsa4096
sign verify sign/s verify/s
rsa 2048 bits 0.000791s 0.000033s 1264.8 30152.7
rsa 4096 bits 0.007899s 0.000121s 126.6 8276.1

    # Generate CA Certificate

+    openssl req -new -x509 -config "${CA_HOME}/ca.cnf" -days 365  -sha512 \


Why is the CA cert only valid for a year?

I believe this is considered best practice for internally run and managed CAs.

@GitHuaKuang We dont have to be concerned with what is in vendor. Those are just supported by those libraries but in our code we say we're only advertising that we support that one cipher suite.
