Priority #1 Inbound Connection Manager Firewall Implement the Fuse Security Service Ou td ate d– • The Edge. X Security WG identified a high priority need @ the Face to Face • Inbound Connection Manager (Firewall) • Protected communications of north bound interface • Dell began a security microservice that implemented functionality similar to the Inbound Connection Manager Ne eds • A firewall/proxy type service that protects the north side interface • The implementation was prototyped but not completed and placed into Fuse due to infrastructure needs to be determined (keystore, firewall, etc. ) • Proposal #1 Up • Post Barcelona, prioritize the work of one of our implementation teams to complete this implementation for California • Puts a strawman in place for the security working groups #1 priority • Will also require picking/using some open source infrastructure to further complete the implementation • • dat e This will assist in other security implementation efforts (or show weaknesses that need to be corrected) Firewall, keystore, etc. • Details on the next slide edgexfoundry. org | @edgexfoundry

Objectives • Simple REST API for basic Data Protection (DP) services • • • Key Management Certificate Services Encryption • Provide an implementation of the DP API • Ideally, adopt an existing open source options • Pluggable Modules • Third parties should be able to replace or extend all or portions of the API implementation as value-add with no negative impact on the clients (e. g. add hardwarebased key store). edgexfoundry. org | @edgexfoundry

Requirements • Key Management • Create, Read, Update (attributes), Delete • Store (external keys)

Requirements • Key Management • Create, Read, Update (attributes), Delete • Store (external keys) and support policy-based key export • Support for symmetric and asymmetric keys • CA • Simple Out-of-the-box self-signed CA • Support external CAs • Certificate status queries (OCSP) • Encryption • Encrypt/Decrypt • Sign/Verify • MAC edgexfoundry. org | @edgexfoundry

Requirements • API • As a minimum, DP service should provide a REST API.

Requirements • API • As a minimum, DP service should provide a REST API. • Other API styles for DP services are beyond the scope of this project • All API interactions must happen over a secure HTTP connection. • Client and server must be mutually authenticated. • Client • The client credential must be stored securely. • Server • The server should be implemented as a microservice, consistent with Edgex overall architecture and design. edgexfoundry. org | @edgexfoundry

X Registry service (Hashi. Corp Consul) Constrained hardware (Edge gateway) Vault is written in the Go programming language, consistent with Edge. X future direction. There isn't a lot of literature around running Go applications in a constrained hardware environment, so testing and benchmarking will be necessary.

Hashicorp Vault Pros & Cons Pros Comments Platform agnostic Supports multiple OSs with no dependency on specific technologies such as containers, orchestration tools, etc. Dynamic credentials Ability to create/acquire credentials dynamically (as for aws, Consul, …) is a desirable feature for Edgex. Note: Consul is used in Edgex for Registry service. AWS will be supported as a target for export services. Extensible backends Enables 3’rd party value-add enhancements for cases such as custom authentication, TPM support, etc. Comprehensive documentation Support for lease and renewal Cons Comments Unprotected Client credentials Out of the box, Vault does not offer support for client protecting its local creds (required to communicate with vault).

Recomendation Summary • Vault provides all of the major features required for an Edge X Foundry key manager • The performance of Vault in a constrained hardware environment is unknown Recommendations • Vault is a good candidate to be used as an Edge X Foundry key manager • Acceptable performance of Vault in the constrained hardware environment of the Edge Gateway must be confirmed edgexfoundry. org | @edgexfoundry

Questions • Do we need to provide local library for the client for local

Questions • Do we need to provide local library for the client for local encryption services when server-slide encryption is not acceptable? • Alternatively, we only return the key to client, when allowed by policy, and client uses a library (ideally one recommended by Edgex) to perform encryption functions. edgexfoundry. org | @edgexfoundry

Open Questions • Keys • • Key Store and Retrieval is needed by other Edge.

Past Security Agreements 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. “Fuse microservices to enforce access control, authentication, and authorization (AAA). ” – Also needs to support smart end points to cloud (AAA) Needs to support tunneled and encrypted sensor data to the cloud – Gateway in pass through mode only. Specifies Gateway administrator provisions devices. Should also allow for smart devices to connect to cloud in pass through mode. “Rely on installation-unique credentials for protecting access to any of the Fuse repositories. ” – Add support for Smart end points support (certificate, authentication, integrity, optional encryption) “Documentation provided with Fuse should strongly recommend that implementers expose HTTPS only. ” – Needs to require TLS 2. 0 or higher, down grade to unsecure modes should be flagged as insecure by Edge. X. “For those subscribers of MQTT data, there is no ability to protect sensitive data in transit” – This statement is in error. Typical protection is provided by a TLS layer that MQTT is tunneled through. Mangement Use Cases “Edge. X Administrator updates software” – This is only the Edge. X software upgrade and not end devices. Needs to support upgrade of devices from cloud to device in pass through mode to support various vendor methods. Control Use Cases “Edge. X published all data” – Need to change to allow for smart devices to publishing data directly to cloud. edgexfoundry. org | @edgexfoundry
