Describedly contain following steps successively based on the key management method in the shared encrypted file system of group key server:
Step 1: make up software module
The key management client modules provides a cover cipher key operation interface for application layer and file system layer, will become concrete operation requests from the key management command conversion on upper strata, sends to the group key server by the bottom-layer network communication interface and carries out; It has safeguarded user authentication information, proves user identity to the group key server when carrying out cipher key operation; The encryption and decryption module is a kernel module between file system client and bottom block device drive, and is responsible for the encryption and decryption file data.
The running software of group key server is made up of one group of kernel program in the linux system, comprising:
Administrator interface is the interface of keeper's executive system administration order.Mainly comprise establishment, cancel user and group, change user right, configuring network interface etc.
Host interface, be responsible for the front end main frame on the key management client communication.The various key management requests that the key management client is sent send to host interface by network, and the latter therefrom extracts user identity and key information, give described authentication module and key management module respectively and handle.The result that the group key server is carried out cipher key operation also returns to the key management client via host interface.
Authentication module is responsible for authenticated user identity before the process key operation.The group key server adopts kerberos authentication mechanism, by authentication module to user's granted access permission ticket, and the session key of maintenance and telex network.Access ticket is the voucher that the user asks the group key server service, and session key is used to protect the safety of transmission of messages between user and the group key server.
Key management module is responsible for carrying out various cipher key operation, is the core that the group key server is realized key management.It adopts file extent Access Control List (ACL) constituent act key information.Described tabulation comprises file key and user capture list items two parts.Each list items has write down its ID and access rights corresponding to a user of file.The privacy key that key management module is used the group key server guaranteeing its confidentiality, and uses hmac algorithm that the file extent Access Control List (ACL) is calculated message authentication code to guarantee its integrality to the file secret key encryption.When carrying out cipher key operation, key management module uses the information in the list items that the user is carried out scope check, prevents unauthorized operation.
Network communication module, the end main frame carries out tcp/ip communication in front of being used for.
Step 2: start the group key server, load and initialization key administrative client module and encryption and decryption module, create user and group
To overall identification of system registry, and create a privacy key and an authenticate key behind the group key startup of server, be respectively applied for key management and authentication.The system manager creates user and group, and the group key server carries out SHA-1 to user cipher and calculates, with the result as user's privacy key and be kept at this locality, in order in verification process, using.Key management client modules and encryption and decryption module all are kernel modules, can dynamically be loaded into the client kernel spacing.The communication interface of configuring cipher key administrative client, foundation is connected with the group key server, and its overall identification is kept in the local file.
Step 3: the user signs in to system, and the group key server is to user's granted access permission ticket and session key, and its step is as follows:
Step 3.1: the user sends logging request by the key management client to the group key server;
Step 3.2: the group key server uses the Kerberos function to generate an access ticket and session key as the user, the two is encapsulated in returns to the key management client in the response message, and this response message is used user's secret key encryption;
Step 3.3: key management Client-Prompt user inputs password, uses SHA-1 to calculate user's privacy key, and the response message that deciphering is received is kept at access ticket and session key in the local file.
Step 4: when application layer or file system layer sent the key management request, system realized cipher key operation as follows:
Step 4.1: the key management client obtains the file extent Access Control List (ACL) from meta data server;
Step 4.2: the key management client uses access ticket to initiate the two-way authentication request to the group key server, and the content of message request is used described session key;
Step 4.3: the group key server comes the authenticated user identity by checking access ticket, returns oneself authentication information to the key management client, and this information is used session key equally;
Step 4.4: the key management client is used session key decrypt, the identity of authentication group key server.After authentication, the key management client sends the cipher key operation request to the group key server, has comprised user ID in the request, concrete operational order and file extent Access Control List (ACL);
Step 4.5: the group key server uses the message authentication code of privacy key and hmac algorithm calculation document extended access list to verify its integrality, uses the Access Column list item of respective user to check its access rights, carries out corresponding cipher key operation:
Step 4.5.1: for the key request to create, the group key server generates new encryption key and affirmation-signature key and uses its secret key encryption, the ID and the access rights of user and place group thereof are added in the extended access list, at last whole file extent Access Control List (ACL) is carried out message authentication code and calculate;
Step 4.5.2: for key distribution and cipher key revocation request, the group key server adds or deletes the list items of relative users in the file extent Access Control List (ACL), and recomputates message authentication code;
Step 4.5.3: obtain (obtain deciphering after file key) request for key, the group key server uses its privacy key to the file secret key decryption;
Step 4.5.4: the group key server is to the execution result of key management client " return " key" operation, creates, distributes and cancel operation for key, and what return is newly-generated file extent Access Control List (ACL); For the file cipher key acquisition request, return be the deciphering after the file key;

Embodiment
Shared encrypted file system based on the group key server mainly is made up of front end main frame, group key server, meta data server and data server.Its hardware configuration as shown in Figure 1.
The file system client that moves on the front end main frame provides various file service to the user.The group key server is responsible for cipher key management operation all in the executive system, and implements strict authenticating user identification and file access control, guarantees the legitimacy of cipher key operation.Metadata of all files in the meta data server maintenance system comprises the file key, and provides various metadata services for the front end main frame.File data storing after the encryption is on data server.Each part of system uses Ethernet to connect, and communicates by TCP/IP.
Based on the software configuration of the shared encrypted file system of group key server as shown in Figure 2.File system client on the front end main frame is handled the various file access requests that application layer is sent, the metadata operation that wherein relates to and the data manipulation communication interface by bottom is mail to meta data server respectively and data server is carried out, tissue by file system client, leave file on the data server in just as local file, can be user capture easily.
The encryption and decryption module is the nucleus module that carries out the plain/cipher text data transaction in the system between file system client and bottom block device Drive Layer.The encryption and decryption module adopts the aes algorithm encryption and decryption file of the counter mode of 128 keys.When file system client execute file write operation, data are intercepted and captured by the encryption and decryption module before being addressed to the driving of bottom block device, the latter uses the secret key encryption file, and encrypt data is mail to the bottom block device, by the network service layer data is saved in the remote data server again; When reading file, the file data after the block device driving on the front end main frame obtains to encrypt from data server by network through the encryption and decryption module decrypts, returns to file system client with clear data.
Key management client and group key server are the core components of managing keys in the system.Share establishment, access that the cipher key management operation that relates in the encrypted file system comprises key, distribute and cancel, these operations usually with various file access operational contact together.As: system need create and the storage file key when creating file; When reading and writing of files, need obtain the file key; When a plurality of shared among users file, need distribute or cancel the file key.The key management client is accepted the key management request that application layer and file system client are sent, and converts concrete command operation to and sends on the group key server and carry out, and key information is kept on the meta data server.In addition, the key management client has also been safeguarded user's ID authentication information, when cipher key operation and the group key server carry out two-way authentication.
The group key server is the executor of cipher key management operation in the system, also is the implementer of authenticating user identification and file access control, and it has also safeguarded all users and the group information in the system simultaneously.Except the network service assembly of necessity, the group key server mainly is made up of 4 modules: administrator interface, host interface, authentication module and key management module.
Administrator interface is the interface of keeper's executive system administration order.Mainly comprise establishment, cancel user and group, change user right, configuring network interface etc.
Host interface, be responsible for the front end main frame on the key management client communication.The various key management requests that the key management client is sent send to host interface by network, and the latter therefrom extracts user identity and key information, give described authentication module and key management module respectively and handle.The result that the group key server is carried out cipher key operation also returns to the key management client via host interface.
Authentication module is responsible for authenticated user identity when process key is operated.The group key server adopts kerberos authentication mechanism, is user's granted access permission ticket by authentication module, and safeguards the session key between group key server and user.Wherein, access ticket is the voucher that the user asks the group key server service, and session key is used to protect the safety of transmission of messages between user and the group key server.
Key management module is responsible for carrying out various cipher key operation, is the core that the group key server is realized key management.It adopts file extent Access Control List (ACL) constituent act key information, and the confidentiality of the privacy key protected file key of use group key server and the integrality of whole Access Control List (ACL).Key management module is also carried out scope check to the user before carrying out cipher key operation, prevent unauthorized operation.
As mentioned above, system adopts the file extent Access Control List (ACL) to realize key management, and its data structure as shown in Figure 3.The file extent Access Control List (ACL) produces when the group key server is created key information, with the beginning of file key, and a plurality of Access Column list items of heel, each list items has write down its ID and access rights corresponding to a file user.The group key server is two kinds of keys of document creation: encryption key and affirmation-signature key.Encryption key is 128 symmetric keys, is produced by the system random number generating function, is used for the encryption and decryption file data, and the Confidentiality protection of file content is provided; Affirmation-signature key is a pair of public affairs-private key, is produced by RSA Algorithm, is used for the hashed value of file content is confirmed and signed, and the integrity protection of file content is provided.The starting point of using affirmation-signature key is to distinguish the reader and the person of writing of file, and fine-grained file access control is provided.The group key server is only authorized signature key to the file person of writing, and latter's hashed value to file content after having write file is signed.The reader does not have signature key, and this walks around that access control mechanisms on the data server writes file by force and situation about not being detected with regard to having been avoided the user.
System has adopted the aes algorithm encryption and decryption file data of counter mode.Its process signal as shown in Figure 4.Expressly (ciphertext) splitted into the data block of fixed size, and its size is determined by cryptographic algorithm.Expressly (ciphertext) piece is corresponding to a vector value for each, and this value can add that data block number obtains by an initial vector value.Counter mode uses cryptographic algorithm to encrypt this vector value, makes the step-by-step XOR with plaintext (ciphertext) piece, obtains corresponding ciphertext (expressly) piece.The benefit of usage counter pattern encryption and decryption file is, identical plaintext is not necessarily corresponding to identical ciphertext, and do not have dependence between the data block, can carry out the encryption and decryption operation each other independently, helps the random read-write of data block.System is used for the counter mode encryption and decryption for initial count value of each file association, and this value is generated when creating key information by the group key server with the file key.
List items in the file extent Access Control List (ACL) has write down the user ID and the access rights (reading and writing, execution etc.) of this document.Each list items is one 32 a value, the ID of its low 24 bit representation users or group, and most-significant byte is represented access rights.The user is when creating file, and the group key server is created the file key, the ID of recording user and place group thereof in list items, and set separately access rights according to the mask value of system.The file extent Access Control List (ACL) has been simplified cipher key operation, for example when the file owner wish and other users or the group shared file, or when wishing to cancel the file access authority of certain user or group, the group key server is as long as add or the list items of deletion relative users.
The file extent Access Control List (ACL) is stored on meta data server as the extended attribute of file.The security risk that faces with file data is the same, and the file extent Access Control List (ACL) also can be stolen or distort by the malicious user on the network, therefore needs the confidentiality and integrity protection equally.The group key server uses the privacy key of oneself that the file key is done symmetrical the encryption, and uses hmac algorithm that message authentication code is carried out in whole tabulation and calculate, and end value is attached to tabulation at last.The privacy key of group key server generates when starting.The user need send to the file extent Access Control List (ACL) group key server when reading and writing of files, the file key after the deciphering is authorized in request; And the group key server is all wanted earlier the file extent Access Control List (ACL) to be carried out message authentication code and is calculated to verify its integrality before carrying out any cipher key operation.
Traditional shared encrypted file system adopts cipher key list constituent act key information, and its structure and extended access list are similar, but each list items in the cipher key list has also comprised the file key that uses client public key to encrypt except that user ID.Following table has contrasted the key metadata quantity that these two kinds of set of cipher key organization methods need be stored.The read-write number of users of supposing file respectively accounts for half, and symmetric key accounts for 128, and public affairs-private key respectively accounts for 1024, and message authentication code accounts for 32.
10 users 20 users 50 users
The file extent Access Control List (ACL) 332 bytes 372 bytes 792 bytes
Cipher key list 1132 bytes 1972 bytes 4492 bytes
Obviously, compare with cipher key list, the file extent Access Control List (ACL) has significantly reduced the stored number of key metadata, and owing to adopted symmetric encipherment algorithm protected file key, and its computing cost is than little many of public key algorithm.
Key management client and group key server communicate by Ethernet by communication interface separately.Communication is base unit with the session, and a complete session is made up of two parts:
1. request: the end by traffic model sends a request package, packet header+data (if there is) to an other end
2. reply: when an other end is asked, just carry out this request, and return the execution result of a packet header+data (if there is)
If communication failure is just thought in the change of not replying in official hour, no longer wait for, think this communication process failure.
The request type that relates to cipher key operation in the system mainly contains:
LOGIN signs in to the group key server
LOGOUT withdraws from from the group key server
The AUTHENTICATE authentication
CREATE_KEY creates the file key
GET_KEY obtains the file key after the deciphering
DISTRIBUTE_KEY gives certain user's distribution of document key
REVOKE_KEY cancels certain user's file key
INVALIDATE_KEY makes the file key of client-cache invalid
Generate a privacy key and an authenticate key behind the group key startup of server, be respectively applied for key management and authentication.The system manager creates user and group on the group key server, and by the user login password is set.The group key server is used for cipher key operation process authenticated user identity for each user safeguards a privacy key.This privacy key uses the SHA-1 algorithm computation to generate by the login password to the user, and is preserved by the group key server.In addition, to overall identification of system registry, the key management client identifies by this and discerns the group key server group key server when starting.
The user also will login the group key server when login system, at this moment key management client sends the LOGIN request to the group key server, as the part of verification process, the group key server is beamed back an access ticket to the key management client in response, be kept at this locality by the user.This bill is the key management client voucher of access group key server subsequently, and its content and login process will describe in detail in the back.For guarantee and the user between the safety of session, the group key server also generates a session key and is distributed to the user, subsequently and all message of transmitting between this user all with this session key to guarantee transmission safety.
The cipher key operation process as shown in Figure 5.The key management client at first obtains the file extent Access Control List (ACL) from meta data server.Before sending concrete cipher key operation request, the key management client is initiated a mutual authentication process earlier.The key management client sends the AUTHENTICATE request to the group key server, has comprised access ticket and subscriber identity information in the request.The group key server is verified the user by checking access ticket, and comprises the identity information confession key management client certificate of oneself in response.After two-way authentication finishes, the key management client sends cipher key operation request (GET_KEY, REVOKE_KEY etc.) to the group key server, the group key server is carried out corresponding operating, the key information of necessity is included in returns to the key management client in the response.
When the user carried out cipher key operation, the key management client sent request to the close server of group, has comprised user ID in the request package, concrete operations order (GET_KEY, REVOKE_KEY etc.) and file extent Access Control List (ACL).The key management client is used the safety of session key request package with the protection transmission of messages.After the group key server receives request package, using privacy key that the file extent Access Control List (ACL) is carried out message authentication code calculates to verify its integrality, and the user is made access authoritychecking according to the list items content, carry out corresponding cipher key operation according to different command request then.Ask for CREATE_KEY, the group key server generates new file key and uses its secret key encryption, the ID and the access rights of user and place group thereof are added in the file extent Access Control List (ACL), use privacy key and hmac algorithm that message authentication code is carried out in whole tabulation at last and calculate; For DISTRIBUTE_KEY and REVOKE_KEY request, the group key server adds or deletes the list items of relative users in the file extent Access Control List (ACL), and calculates new message authentication code; For the GET_KEY request, the group key server uses privacy key to the file secret key decryption.For CREATE_KEY, DISTRIBUTE_KEY and REVOKE_KEY request, what the group key server returned to the key management client is newly-generated file extent Access Control List (ACL); For GET_KEY request, what return is file key after the deciphering.The response message that returns uses session key equally.
The user at first needs to send GET_KEY by the key management client and asks to the group key server when reading and writing of files, obtains the file key after the deciphering.When file system client carries out read-write operation continually, and a large amount of network service will greatly influence systematic function between the group key server communication.System has adopted the cipher key cache method to avoid this situation.File system client is carrying out the first time during read-write operation, with the file cipher key cache of returning, will directly use file key in the buffer memory to the read-write operation of identical file later on, need not and the group key server communication again.
For the cipher key revocation operation, it is not enough only changing the file extent Access Control List (ACL), also needs encrypt file content again.System has adopted the delay encryption technology, when postponing till next time write operation again the opportunity of encrypt file and take place.Whole cipher key revocation operating process as shown in Figure 6.Saved the mutual authentication process of key management client and group key server among the figure.At first key management client sends the REVOKE_KEY request to the group key server, after the latter makes necessary scope check, in the deleted file extended access list corresponding to the list items that is undone cipher key user, recomputate the message authentication code value of described tabulation, return response to the key management client.When the write operation that takes place next time this document, the key management client sends the CREATE_KEY request to the group key server, and original file extent Access Control List (ACL) is sent in the past.The group key server generates new file key, replaces original file key in the tabulation, and recomputates message authentication code, and new file extent Access Control List (ACL) is returned to the key management client.Encryption and decryption module on the front end main frame is used new key encrypt file again, and by on the described meta data server of tabulating of key management client storage.Since other users of file may be at its client-cache old file key, so the group key server sends the INVALIDATE_KEY request according to the front end main frame of the user ID information in the file extent Access Control List (ACL) to these user places, the key of notice key management client this document is changed.The latter abandons the old key in the buffer memory, returns response to the group key server.
In order to guarantee the safety of whole system, the group key server needs to determine the real user identity of key management client before carrying out cipher key operation, simultaneously, the key management client also to confirm oneself be with real group key server communication.System has adopted kerberos authentication mechanism that this assurance is provided, and whole authentication process is divided into two stages.When the phase I occurred in the user and signs in to system, its process was as follows:
1, the user signs in to the group key server.The key management client sends the LOGIN request to the group key server, comprises user ID in the request package, the overall identification of group key server and a timestamp;
2, the group key server uses the Kerberos function to generate a session key and an access ticket as the user.Comprise session key in this bill, user ID, the overall identification of group key server, the life span of bill and a timestamp, and use the authenticate key of group key server to encrypt.Comprised session key in the response message of group key server, access ticket and a timestamp return to the key management client after this message use user's the secret key encryption;
3, key management Client-Prompt user imports login password, uses the SHA-1 algorithm computation to generate privacy key to this password, decrypts session key and access ticket, and the two is kept in the local file, abandons privacy key.
When the second stage of verification process occurred in key management client-requested cipher key operation, its process was as follows:
4, key management client sends the AUTHENTICATE request to the group key server, initiates two-way authentication.Comprise access ticket in the request package, the overall identification of user authentication information and group key server.User authentication information has comprised user ID and a timestamp, uses session key;
5, the group key server uses authenticate key deciphering access ticket, obtains the session key with this user, and the latter can be used for the decrypted user authentication information.User ID in group key server comparison access ticket and the user authentication information is come the identity of authenticated user.If by authentication, the group key server has comprised the timestamp in the user authentication information to key management client echo reply message in the message, use session key;
6, key management client can be determined the authenticity of group key server identity by the timestamp in the user authentication information in timestamp in the comparison response message and the step 5.
After by two-way authentication, key management client and group key server begin normal cipher key operation session, and the message that transmits in the communication process is all used session key.In the term of validity of access ticket, the key management client only need be carried out the verification process of second stage when the request cipher key operation; Otherwise if access ticket lost efficacy, the key management client need repeat the phase I process, to the new access ticket of group key server application.
