Functions

func NewEnvelopeTransformer

func NewEnvelopeTransformer(envelopeService Service, cacheSize int, baseTransformerFunc func(cipher.Block) value.Transformer) (value.Transformer, error)

NewEnvelopeTransformer returns a transformer which implements a KEK-DEK based envelope encryption scheme. It uses envelopeService to encrypt and decrypt DEKs. Respective DEKs (in encrypted form) are prepended to the data items they encrypt. A cache (of size cacheSize) is maintained to store the most recently used decrypted DEKs in memory.

Types

type Service

type Service interface {
	// Decrypt a given bytearray to obtain the original data as bytes.
	Decrypt(data []byte) ([]byte, error)
	// Encrypt bytes to a ciphertext.
	Encrypt(data []byte) ([]byte, error)
}

Service allows encrypting and decrypting data using an external Key Management Service.

func NewGRPCService

func NewGRPCService(endpoint string, callTimeout time.Duration) (Service, error)

NewGRPCService returns an envelope.Service which use gRPC to communicate the remote KMS provider.
