# This file should be used sparingly. We should probably have a mechanism
|
|
# built in to decrypt it with PKCS#11 or something, because it's the keys
|
|
# to everything (this file -> database metadata -> table level keys).
|
|
#
|
|
# Normal operation is to allow LocalDb to get Account ID from LocalIAM
|
|
# (actually I think this is LocalSTS) with Account ID in hand, LocalDb will
|
|
# retrieve (or generate/retrieve) the encryption key from LocalDb
|
|
#
|
|
# This is, of course, a recursive operation, so at some point we need the base
|
|
# case, which is a key that's not stored in the database (or the source code)
|
|
#
|
|
# That...is the purpose of this file. The existing/new is intended to enable
|
|
# key rotations. This system uses envelope encryption, so table data is
|
|
# encrypted with a key that is stored in the ddbLocal metadata table. On
|
|
# request for rotation, the table metadata will use the existing encoded
|
|
# encryption key to read, then re-encrypt the metadata with the new encoded
|
|
# encryption key. Key rotation, however, remains a TODO in the code
