2020-05-09crypto: improve errorsEric Biggers
ErrKeyLock: Rename to ErrMlockUlimit for clarity. ErrGetrandomFail: ErrKeyAlloc: ErrKeyFree: ErrNegativeLength: Replace these with one-off unnamed errors because these were all returned in only one place and were never checked for. Also these were all either wrapped backwards or discarded an underlying error, so fix that too.
2020-01-22Automatically generate recovery passphrase when usefulEric Biggers
If a user re-installs their system (or otherwise loses the /.fscrypt directory on the root filesystem) they also lose access to any login passphrase-protected directories on other filesystems, unless additional protectors were manually added. This can be unexpected, as it may be expected that the old login passphrase would still work. We can't really fix this by storing a login protector on every filesystem because: - If a user were to have N login protectors, it would take them N times longer to log in, as every login protector would need to be unlocked. - If a user were to change their login passphrase while any external volumes were unmounted, login protectors would get out of sync. - It's preferable that an external volume isn't unlockable by itself using only a login passphrase, as login passphrases are often weak. Instead, generate a recovery passphrase when creating a login passphrase-protected directory on a non-root filesystem. The recovery passphrase is added as a custom_passphrase protector, thus giving the policy two protectors: one pam_passphrase and one custom_passphrase. Then this passphrase is written to a file in the new encrypted directory. Writing the passphrase to a file here is okay since it's encrypted, but it's obviously useless by itself; it's up to the user to store this passphrase somewhere else if they need it. Use a recovery passphrase instead of a "recovery code" that encodes the policy key directly because a passphrase is more user-friendly: it can safely be made much shorter than a key, and it works just like any other fscrypt protector. Also, it's not as critical to allow recovery when the .fscrypt directory on the *same* filesystem is deleted. Resolves https://github.com/google/fscrypt/issues/164
2019-09-08Fix various typos and grammatical errors (#141)ebiggers
These were found by a combination of manual review and a custom script that checks for common errors. Also removed an outdated sentence from the comment for setupBefore().
2017-06-28Change error handling to new packageJoe Richey joerichey@google.com
This commit changes the error handing for the crypto, filesystem, metadata, pam, and util packages to use the error handling library github.com/pkg/errors. This means elimination of the FSError type, an increased use of wrapping errors (as opposed to logging), switching on the Cause() of an error (as opposed to its value), and improving our integration tests involving TEST_FILESYSTEM_ROOT. This commit also fixes a few bugs with the keyring code to ensure that our {Find|Remove|Insert}PolicyKey functions are always operating on the same keyring. The check for filesystem support has been moved from the filesystem package to the metadata package. Finally, the API for the filesystem package has been slightly modified: * filesystem.AllFilesystems() now returns all the filesystems in sorted order * certain path methods are now public O_SYNC is also removed for writing the metadata. We don't get that much from syncing the metadata, as the actual file data could also be corrupted by and IO error. The sync operation is also occasionally very slow (~3 seconds) and can be unfriendly to battery life. Change-Id: I392c2655141714b16dfdbc84ac09780072be2cf0
2017-05-31crypto: tests, errors, and descriptor computationJoe Richey joerichey@google.com
This changes the crypto package so it now builds in light of the changes to the util and metadata package. This commit also improves the error handling, adds tests, and makes it so recovery keys now correspond to Policy keys (as they are used to recover a directory in the absence of any metadata). The only feature addition here is the ability to compute descriptors. For backwards compatibility, we keep the same descriptor algorithm used before (double SHA512).

2017-05-02crypto: add secure random reader using getrandomJoe Richey
This commit adds in RandReader, a cryptographically secure io.Reader that will fail when the os has insufficient randomness. This is done using the getrandom() syscall in non-blocking mode. see: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html Any kernel new enough to have filesystem encryption will also have this syscall. This RandReader is preferable to the one provided by the standard library in crypto/rand. See the bugs: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11833 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19274 This will be removed when go updates the crypto/rand implementation.
