How to implement data encryption at rest in compliance with enterprise requirements Steffen Mazanek, Louay Mresheh | 09/09/2019 Community Day 2019 Sponsors

About the speakers Steffen Mazanek (AWS usergroup Dresden) Louay Mresheh AWS architecture and security • T-Systems International GmbH / Public Cloud unit • Connect on LinkedIn 2

Agenda • AWS security in general • Motivation for data protection, encryption requirements and KMS overview • KMS hands-on / demos • Managed security and compliance 3

Security “in” the cloud is not easy Lax or misconfiguration as #1 threat https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-model/ 4

Security as a central pillar for good architecture in the “AWS Well - Architected Framework” ✓ Implement a strong identity foundation Operational Excellence ✓ Enable traceability Security Security ✓ Apply security at all layers ✓ Automate security best practices Reliability ✓ Protect data in transit and at rest ✓ Keep people away from data Performance Efficiency ✓ Prepare for security events Cost Optimization Source: https://wa.aws.amazon.com/wat.design_principles.wa-dp.en.html 5 .

Don‘t be the company from the news https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/09/aws-ebs-cloud-backups-leak/ • Check your snapshots: • filter for public in console • Better: activate a control, AWS managed config rule is available ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/ebs-snapshot-public-restorable-check.html ) • Use encryption, only unencrypted snapshots can be made publicly available ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-modifying-snapshot-permissions.html ) 8

Why data encryption? • Compliance, enterprise regulation / policies • Security best practice • Protection from hypervisor mistakes, e.g. • your disk is accidentally shared with another client • mistake in disk decommissioning process • Data confidentiality and integrity • Control/minimize access to data (keep people away from data) • Destroy large amounts of data by deleting the key 9

Concepts/terminology • Data encryption in transit → IPSec/VPN, TLS (AWS Certificate Manager) • Data encryption at rest → focus of this presentation • Client-side → encrypt before submitting data to AWS, AWS encryption SDK in different programming languages, service clients etc. • Server-side → AWS encrypts the data after it is received by the service 10

Enterprise data encryption requirements example For the data protection class PUBLIC encryption is not required. • For the data protection class INTERNAL encryption with AWS-managed key must be used. • For the data protection class CONFIDENTIAL encryption with customer-managed key must be used. • Keys need to be rotated on regular basis. • Management and use of keys according to least privileges principal. • A dedicated role group for key admins must be used. • Multi-factor authentication must be implemented for critical KMS API calls. • KMS key activities must be logged. • The deletion of keys must be alarmed. • If encryption context is used, no sensitive data must be used for encryption context. • → Example implementation/architecture in demo part 11

CIS recommendations regarding data protection https://d1.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/compliance/CIS_Amazon_Web_Services_Three- tier_Web_Architecture_Benchmark.pdf Work with multiple CMKs → More fine-grained control … 12

KMS overview and concepts • securely store the keys you use to encrypt your data in the cloud and centrally manage these keys • Envelope encryption / two-tiered key hierarchy • 4KB limit, better performance • Unique data key encrypts customer data • Customer master keys encrypt data keys • Centralized access and better auditability • Limits blast radius (compromised data key) 13

KMS CLI session aws kms generate-data-key --key-id <keyarn> --key-spec AES_256 --output text --query CiphertextBlob | base64 --decode > encrEnvelopeKey envelopeKey=$(aws kms decrypt --ciphertext-blob fileb://encrEnvelopeKey --output text --query Plaintext) openssl enc -in confidential-data.txt -out encrypted-data.txt -e -aes256 -k $envelopeKey Keep your encrypted data key at a safe place!! Later: envelopeKey=$(aws kms decrypt --ciphertext-blob fileb://encrEnvelopeKey --output text --query Plaintext) openssl enc -in encrypted-data.txt -out confidential-data.txt -d -aes256 -k $envelopeKey https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/kms/

KMS overview and concepts Regional service • Integrated with most AWS services, but in different ways • EBS -> encrypted data key stored with every volume, plaintext key in hypervisor memory until disk gets • detached S3 -> encrypted data key stored with every object • AWS managed CMK, one per service called aws/ebs, aws/rds etc. • Customer-managed CMK for more granularity and control • Cause costs (per month, per key, per version) • you can bring your own crypto material in order to keep your own copy of the key • Key aliases, key rotation • 15

KMS overview and concepts • Keys can be shared across accounts • Critical KMS events can be monitered and automatically remediated in case of any violation detected, automation is key! • AWS-managed config rules can be used to check encryption settings for DBs, disks and buckets • KMS comes with a waiting period on key deletion (if you did not bring your own key) • KMS is relying on shared HSMs (FIPS 140-2 Level 2) • https://d1.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/KMS-Cryptographic-Details.pdf 16

Dedicated HSM in VPC → • CloudHSM service (FIPS 140-2 L 3) Custom key store provides more • flexibility with CloudHSM but is more complex to manage https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/are-kms-custom-key-stores-right-for-you/

Managing access to keys from two sides • Key policy • Define who can manage the key (you can even lock out root) • Define who can use the key • You can lock yourself out → AWS support case • You can delegate to IAM • Service roles might need access (e.g. Cloud9 needs access to EBS key) • IAM 18

Agenda • AWS security in general • Motivation for data protection, encryption requirements and KMS overview • KMS hands-on / demos • Managed security and compliance 20

Demo 1 DPC (Data Protection Class) Encryption confidential KMS key Creation of a new S3 bucket internal S3-SSE → auto-tag with internal, disclose and encrypt public None 21

Demo 2 Disabling EBS encryption by default triggers a notification and automation to enable it again 22

Demo 3 Key creation triggers an automated check, right policies need to be attached and key rotation being enabled 23

Demo 4 Critical KMS events such as key deletion trigger an alarm 24
