Encrypt filter plugin for Embulk

Converts columns using an encryption algorithm such as AES.

Encrypted data is encoded using base64. For example, if you have following input records:

id,password,comment
1,super,a
2,secret,b

You can apply encryption to password column and get following outputs:

id,password,comment
1,ayxU9lMA1iASdHGy/eAlWw==,a
2,v8ffsUOfspaqZ1KI7tPz+A==,b

Overview

Plugin type: filter

Configuration

algorithm: encryption algorithm (see below) (enum, required)
column_names: names of string columns to encrypt (array of string, required)
key_hex: encryption key (string, required)
iv_hex: encyrption initialization vector (string, required if mode of the algorithm is CBC)

Algorithms

Available algorithms are:

AES-256-CBC (recommended)
AES-192-CBC
AES-128-CBC
AES-256-ECB
AES-192-ECB
AES-128-ECB

AES-256-CBC is the recommended algorithm. The other algorithms are prepared for compatibility with other components (see below "Decrypting data" section).

Generating key and iv

Using standard PBKDF2 Password-based Encryption algorithm

PBKDF2 is a standard (PKCS #5) algorithm to generate key and iv from a password.

To generate it, you can use genkey.rb script.

You save above text as "genkey.rb", and run it as following:

$ ruby genkey.rb AES-256-CBC "my-pass-wo-rd"

It shows key and iv as following:

key=D0867C9310D061F17ACD11EB30DE68265DCB79849BE5FB2BE157919D19BF2F42
iv =2A1D6BD59D2DB50A59364BAD3B9B6544

Using openssl EVP_BytesToKey algorithm

You can use openssl EVP_BytesToKey algorithm to generate key and iv from a password. If you use AES-256-CBC cipher algorithm, you type following command:

$ echo secret | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -a -nosalt -p

You will be asked to enter password. Then it shows key and iv:

key=DAFFED346E29C5654F54133D1FC65CCB5930071ACEAF5B64A22A11406F467DC9
iv =C92D28D70B4440DA3F0F05577ECFEE54

You can copy key and iv to key_hex and iv_hex parameters.

Decrypting data

openssl command

You can use openssl command as following:

$ echo <encrypted value> | openssl enc -d -base64 | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -K <key> -iv <iv>

For example:

$ echo 6aEGvMrGx7tODkPF7x5Yog== | openssl enc -d -base64 | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -K DAFFED346E29C5654F54133D1FC65CCB5930071ACEAF5B64A22A11406F467DC9 -iv C92D28D70B4440DA3F0F05577ECFEE54
secret

PostgreSQL

You can use PostgreSQL's decrypt_iv or decrypt function to decrypt values (provided as pgcrypto extension). If you use CBC,

decrypt_iv(decode(encrypted_column, 'base64'), decode('here_is_key_hex', 'hex'), decode('here_is_iv_hex', 'hex'), 'aes')

If you use ECB,

decrypt(decode(encrypted_column, 'base64'), decode('here_is_key_hex', 'hex'), 'aes')

Example

filters:
  - type: encrypt
    column_names: [password, ip]
    key_hex: 098F6BCD4621D373CADE4E832627B4F60A9172716AE6428409885B8B829CCB05
    iv_hex: C9DD4BB33B827EB1FBA1B16A0074D460
