Transit Keys

Transit keys are used to encode and decode data with a named key. This allows an application to work with encoded data without having to know the encryption key. Keys can be keep more secure and can more easily be managed, ie access controlled, rotated, and revoked. Multiple version of a key can be active at the same time to allow controlled rotation throughout a large distributed system.

Depending on the type of key it can be used for a number of different operations liken encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify, hmac etc.

Create a new transit key

SecurityaccessToken
Request
query Parameters
validate
string <enumeration>

Validate the request but do not actually perform the requested operation

Value: "true"
Request Body schema:
name
required
string <name> ^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9\-]*[a-z0-9])?$
public-key
string

A initial key can optionally be provided.

allow-plaintext-backup
boolean
Default: false

Allow the transit key to be backed up in plaintext. This allows a key to be backed up, but also restored on another tenant or site.

cipher
string <cipher-type>
Default: "aes256-gcm96"
  • aes128-gcm96: AES 128 GCM, 128 bit key, 96 bit IV. Supports encryption, decryption, key-derivation, and convergent-encryption.
  • aes192-gcm96: AES 192 GCM, 256 bit key, 96 bit IV. Supports encryption, decryption, key-derivation, and convergent-encryption.
  • aes256-gcm96: AES 256 GCM, 256 bit key, 96 bit IV. Supports encryption, decryption, key-derivation, and convergent-encryption.
  • chacha20-poly1305: ChaCha20 with Poly1305 (RFC 7539). 256 bit key, 96 bit IV. Supports encryption, decryption, key-derivation, convergent-encryption.
  • ecdsa-p256: Eliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm secp256r1, also known as NIST P-256. Supports signing and signature verification.
  • ecdsa-p384: Eliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm secp256r1, also known as NIST P-384. Supports signing and signature verification.
  • ecdsa-p521: Eliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm secp256r1, also known as NIST P-521. Supports signing and signature verification.
  • ed25519: Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm. Supports signing and signature verification.
  • rsa-2048: Supports encryption, decryption, signing, signature verification
  • rsa-3072: Supports encryption, decryption, signing, signature verification
  • rsa-4096: Supports encryption, decryption, signing, signature verification
convergent-encryption
boolean
Default: false

If enabled together with derived then the nonce will be calculated instead of randomly generated. The consequence is that the same plaintext will be encrypted to the same ciphertext.

deletion-allowed
boolean
Default: false

Controls if the key can be deleted or not. This is set to false by default since it is a potentially catastrophic operation since no data encrypted with they key will be decryptable once the key has been removed.

derived
boolean
Default: false

The key is derived from the common key and the provided context parameter. Encryption and decryption calls must provide the same context parameter. This allows for a large number of dynamically generated keys.

exportable
boolean
Default: false

If set to true then valid keys can be exported. Cannot be set to false once enabled.

openpgp-user-id
string

This setting is used when displaying rsa and ed25519 public keys in openpgp format. A user id must be embedded in the key. It will default to 'Strongbox strongbox@avassa.io'

openpgp-key-usage
Array of strings <enumeration>
  • certify
  • sign
  • encrypt_communication
  • encrypt_storage
  • split
  • auth

This setting is used when displaying rsa and ed25519 public keys in openpgp format. A user id must be embedded in the key. It will default to 'Strongbox strongbox@avassa.io'

openpgp-primary
string <name> ^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9\-]*[a-z0-9])?$

This can be used to indicate the primary OpenPGP key in a keyblock. It is used when exporting a subkey in OpenPGP format.

default-encryption-version
integer <uint32>
Default: 0

It is possible to specify a default version for encryption. Once a key has been rotated it might be desirable to delay using the new version until it has been distributed to all parties that need it. Setting the value to 0 indicates that the latest version should be used by default.

min-decryption-version
integer <uint32>
Default: 0

It is possible to specify a minimal version for both encryption and decryption. It might be desirable to phase out an old key by increasing the minimal encryption version, while keeping the minimal decryption version until all data has been migrated to the new version, or become irrelevant.

min-encryption-version
integer <uint32>
Default: 0

It is possible to specify a minimal version for both encryption and decryption. It might be desirable to phase out an old key by increasing the minimal encryption version, while keeping the minimal decryption version until all data has been migrated to the new version, or become irrelevant.

object

It is advisable to periodically rotate encryption keys, regardless of whether a security breach has occurred. According to NIST publication 800-38D, AES-GCM keys should be rotated once they approach approximately 2^32 encryptions. Operators should assess how frequently a key is used for encryption and set a rotation schedule that ensures this threshold is not exceeded. For instance, if a key is used for 40 million operations daily, rotating it every three months would be adequate.
