[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-13511) Derive data keys with HKDF
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13511?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andrew Purtell updated HBASE-13511:
-----------------------------------
Description:
When we are locally managing master key material, when users have supplied their own data key material, derive the actual data keys using HKDF (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5869)
DK' = HKDF(S, DK, MK)
where
S = salt
DK = user supplied data key
MK = master key
DK' = derived data key for the HFile
User supplied key material may be weak or an attacker may have some partial knowledge of it.
Salt S doesn't need to be secret and can be stored with the derived data key.
Where we generate random data keys we can still use HKDF as a way to mix more entropy into the secure random generator.
DK' = HKDF(R, MK)
where
R = random key material drawn from the system's secure random generator
MK = master key
(Salting isn't useful here because salt S and R would be drawn from the same pool, so will not have statistical independence.)
