crypto: add QCryptoSecret object class for password/key handling Introduce a new QCryptoSecret object class which will be used for providing passwords and keys to other objects which need sensitive credentials. The new object can provide secret values directly as properties, or indirectly via a file. The latter includes support for file descriptor passing syntax on UNIX platforms. Ordinarily passing secret values directly as properties is insecure, since they are visible in process listings, or in log files showing the CLI args / QMP commands. It is possible to use AES-256-CBC to encrypt the secret values though, in which case all that is visible is the ciphertext. For ad hoc developer testing though, it is fine to provide the secrets directly without encryption so this is not explicitly forbidden. The anticipated scenario is that libvirtd will create a random master key per QEMU instance (eg /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$VMNAME.key) and will use that key to encrypt all passwords it provides to QEMU via '-object secret,....'. This avoids the need for libvirt (or other mgmt apps) to worry about file descriptor passing. It also makes life easier for people who are scripting the management of QEMU, for whom FD passing is significantly more complex. Providing data inline (insecure, only for ad hoc dev testing) $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein Providing data indirectly in raw format printf "letmein" > mypasswd.txt $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt Providing data indirectly in base64 format $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64 Providing data with encryption $QEMU -object secret,id=master0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64 \ -object secret,id=sec0,data=[base64 ciphertext],\ keyid=master0,iv=[base64 IV],format=base64 Note that 'format' here refers to the format of the ciphertext data. The decrypted data must always be in raw byte format. More examples are shown in the updated docs. Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>

/**
* QCryptoSecret:
*
* The QCryptoSecret object provides storage of secrets,
* which may be user passwords, encryption keys or any
* other kind of sensitive data that is represented as
* a sequence of bytes.
*
* The sensitive data associated with the secret can
* be provided directly via the 'data' property, or
* indirectly via the 'file' property. In the latter
* case there is support for file descriptor passing
* via the usual /dev/fdset/NN syntax that QEMU uses.
*
* The data for a secret can be provided in two formats,
* either as a UTF-8 string (the default), or as base64
* encoded 8-bit binary data. The latter is appropriate
* for raw encryption keys, while the former is appropriate
* for user entered passwords.
*
* The data may be optionally encrypted with AES-256-CBC,
* and the decryption key provided by another
* QCryptoSecret instance identified by the 'keyid'
* property. When passing sensitive data directly
* via the 'data' property it is strongly recommended
* to use the AES encryption facility to prevent the
* sensitive data being exposed in the process listing
* or system log files.
*
* Providing data directly, insecurely (suitable for
* ad hoc developer testing only)
*
* $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein
*
* Providing data indirectly:
*
* # printf "letmein" > password.txt
* # $QEMU \
* -object secret,id=sec0,file=password.txt
*
* Using a master encryption key with data.
*
* The master key needs to be created as 32 secure
* random bytes (optionally base64 encoded)
*
* # openssl rand -base64 32 > key.b64
* # KEY=$(base64 -d key.b64 | hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X"')
*
* Each secret to be encrypted needs to have a random
* initialization vector generated. These do not need
* to be kept secret
*
* # openssl rand -base64 16 > iv.b64
* # IV=$(base64 -d iv.b64 | hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X"')
*
* A secret to be defined can now be encrypted
*
* # SECRET=$(printf "letmein" |
* openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -a -K $KEY -iv $IV)
*
* When launching QEMU, create a master secret pointing
* to key.b64 and specify that to be used to decrypt
* the user password
*
* # $QEMU \
* -object secret,id=secmaster0,format=base64,file=key.b64 \
* -object secret,id=sec0,keyid=secmaster0,format=base64,\
* data=$SECRET,iv=$(<iv.b64)
*
* When encrypting, the data can still be provided via an
* external file, in which case it is possible to use either
* raw binary data, or base64 encoded. This example uses
* raw format
*
* # printf "letmein" |
* openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -K $KEY -iv $IV -o pw.aes
* # $QEMU \
* -object secret,id=secmaster0,format=base64,file=key.b64 \
* -object secret,id=sec0,keyid=secmaster0,\
* file=pw.aes,iv=$(<iv.b64)
*
* Note that the ciphertext can be in either raw or base64
* format, as indicated by the 'format' parameter, but the
* plaintext resulting from decryption is expected to always
* be in raw format.
