* fix(sse): resolve bucket default encryption per request
PUT and the POST-object/extract path resolved a bucket's default
encryption with a hard-coded "no explicit SSE-C" flag, so the default was
layered onto a request that already carried an SSE-C header triple and
then tripped that request's own mutual-exclusion check. Every bucket with
default encryption refused SSE-C single PUTs with 400 InvalidArgument,
while CreateMultipartUpload on the same bucket succeeded because it
resolves SSE elsewhere. Both call sites now derive the flag from the
request headers, as COPY already did.
The bucket default's KMS key id was also inherited independently of the
effective algorithm, so an explicit AES256 request against an aws:kms
default bucket produced a self-contradictory algorithm/key-id pair and
was rejected. The key id is now inherited only when the effective
algorithm is aws:kms, matching the storage-layer resolver.
Refs backlog#2368 B1, B2.
* fix(sse): refuse SSE-KMS without a running KMS service
A write requesting aws:kms on a node with no KMS service fell back to the
node-local SSE-S3 provider: the data key was wrapped with
RUSTFS_SSE_S3_MASTER_KEY while the object metadata still recorded
aws:kms and the requested KMS key id. The stored object claimed a KMS
protection it never had, under a key that was never consulted, and no
signal distinguished it from a genuine SSE-KMS object.
The managed-encryption path now asks the resolved DEK provider whether it
wraps with a node-local master key and refuses SSE-KMS in that case:
InvalidRequest when KMS was never configured, ServiceUnavailable when a
configured service is not running. The check sits after the per-key
authorization gate so an unauthorized caller still receives AccessDenied
whatever the KMS runtime state is, and asks the provider rather than a
parallel availability signal because the provider is what actually wraps
the key. A missing master key no longer answers an SSE-KMS request with
an SSE-S3-worded configuration error.
The SSE-S3 local fallback is unchanged.
Refs backlog#2368 B4.
* fix(ecstore): restore and archive tiers in stored coordinates
Multipart restore addressed the remote tier in plaintext coordinates
while the copy-back reads the stored representation. Each part received a
misaligned slice of the remote object whose length still satisfied the
range, the hash reader and the completion size check, so the restore
reported success and silently replaced the object's bytes. Encrypted and
compressed multipart objects were both affected. Restore now accumulates
stored part sizes, passes the stored length to the hash reader alongside
the plaintext length, and validates against the stored size.
The copy-back digests stored bytes, so its computed MD5 is not the
object's public ETag. Restore now preserves the object ETag on both the
single-part and multipart paths, and gives each restored part its own
recorded part ETag rather than the object-level value.
Transition also handed the tier the object's SSE headers and its
RustFS-wrapped data key as request headers. Any S3 target rejected an
SSE-C archive outright, an SSE-KMS archive asked the target to encrypt a
second time under a key id it does not own, and the wrapped DEK left the
cluster. The archive request now strips every SSE header and encryption
marker with the predicate the replication path already uses; the local
xl.meta keeps all of it, so read-through and restore are unaffected.
Objects restored by an affected release are not detected or repaired
retroactively and must be re-restored from the tier.
Refs backlog#2368 B3, B5; backlog#2369 P7.1.
* fix(rio): lock the v1 nonce layout within a segment
Decrypting a v1 segment tried three historical nonce layouts per frame,
independently for every frame. The last of them exists for streams
written before 1.0.0-alpha.91, which reused a segment's part nonce for
every block in it; because block zero's derived nonce equals that base
nonce, a frame encrypted at index zero authenticated at any position. An
attacker able to rewrite the underlying shards could replay it and have
the forged plaintext returned with 200 and an unchanged length. Shard
integrity uses a keyed-hash-free checksum, which such an attacker can
recompute, so it is not a barrier.
A segment now locks onto whichever layout decoded its first non-zero-index
frame and rejects any later frame needing a different one. That leaves one
residual shape: a stream built purely from repeats of frame zero has no
later frame to disagree. New RUSTFS_ENCRYPTION_LEGACY_NONCE_FALLBACK
(default true, so pre-alpha.91 objects keep decrypting) drops the third
layout entirely when set to false, which closes it. Turning it off refuses
pre-alpha.91 objects, so migrate them first by rewriting in place.
Refs backlog#2369 P2.
* fix(kms): reload a service that failed to start
POST /rustfs/admin/v3/kms/reload short-circuited whenever the persisted
configuration matched the in-memory one byte for byte. A node whose KMS
failed to start keeps that configuration and sits in Error, so the
documented recovery call returned "reloaded successfully" while leaving
the node down. Peers reached the same path through the reload broadcast,
so a cluster that lost Vault during a rolling restart had no working
recovery route other than the node-local start endpoint. Reload now
short-circuits only for a service that is actually running, and otherwise
reconfigures, which starts a service that is not running.
The AWS backend also advertised key-version enumeration through
kms/status, which its own documentation says it cannot do; the capability
and its golden snapshot now say false.
Refs backlog#2369 P1, P7.3.
* docs: record the SSE and KMS changes for 1.0.0
The Unreleased changelog section carried no entry for any encryption work
merged since 1.0.0-rc.5, including three items with operational impact:
the config-secret variable whose absence persists secrets in cleartext
with only a warning, the v2 frame write switch and its rolling-upgrade
constraint, and per-key authorization making a public bucket incompatible
with SSE-KMS objects. Adds those plus this batch, including the SSE-KMS
refusal as a breaking change with both routes out.
Also corrects four places where documentation contradicted the code: the
cleanup register still called encrypted range seek opt-in after its
default flipped, the Helm README claimed vault_mount_path only applies to
Transit while the template also feeds the KV2 mount, the disaster-recovery
drill listed bundle contents for backends whose export is refused with
501, and the Chinese README capability table predated most of the feature
set. Documents the SSE-S3 local master key as a first-class operational
mode with its rotation dead end, and what the v1 frame layout does and
does not authenticate.
Refs backlog#2369 P5.
* fix(kms): classify data-path KMS failures by what the caller can do
Only "key not found" and a backend outage were classified; every other
KMS failure that reached the S3 data path fell through to
500 InternalError with a generic message. A disabled or pending-deletion
key, a denied KMS grant, an encryption-context mismatch, an unsupported
algorithm, a credential or timeout failure, and a capability the
configured backend does not have all looked identical to a server fault.
SDKs therefore applied exponential backoff to configuration errors no
retry can fix, and monitoring counted every one of them against the
server's own error rate.
Unusable-key and request-side failures now answer 400, a denied grant
403, transient backend failures 503, and a missing backend capability
501. Damaged, unreadable, or unknown-format key material keeps its 500:
it is a server-side integrity fault, and existing tests pin it.
The classifier is deliberately separate from the admin lifecycle
mapping, which answers 404 for a missing key because there a key id is
the resource being addressed; on the data path it arrives inside a
request header or a bucket default. Messages either name what the caller
asked for or stay generic, with deployment-side detail left on the error
source the way the storage-IO mapping already does.
Refs backlog#2368 B6.
* fix(kms): track and renew static Vault tokens
Token authentication hard-coded "this token carries no lease", so the
renewal task never started, the remaining-TTL gauge was never published,
and nothing looked wrong. `vault token create` grants a 768-hour TTL by
default, so a cluster that had been healthy for a month turned every KMS
call into a 403 and could not recover without a restart or a
reconfigure. Production configuration validation only rejects the
literal dev-token, so an ordinary expiring token reaches a whole cluster.
The source now reads `auth/token/lookup-self` at login and adopts what
Vault reports. A token with no expiry behaves exactly as before. An
expiring renewable one is picked up by the existing renewal loop and
renewed at half TTL like every other auth method. An expiring
non-renewable one warns with its remaining lifetime and publishes the
gauge, so the fail-closed window is visible before it arrives.
The probe never fails the login: a policy that omits lookup-self, or a
Vault that is briefly unreachable, warns and falls back to exactly the
previous behaviour rather than taking down a deployment that works
today. The scripted Vault test double answers the lookup out of band so
existing scripts keep describing only the protocol under test.
Refs backlog#2369 P3.
* feat(sse): report SSE-C requests that arrive without TLS
An SSE-C request carries the customer's AES key in a request header, so
AWS S3 and MinIO both refuse one that did not arrive over TLS. RustFS
accepted them on any transport: a plaintext hop hands the key to anyone
on the path, and since the object cannot be read without that same key,
the exposure lasts as long as the object does.
Refusing outright is the correct end state but not a safe default to
adopt inside a release window, because the project's own s3-tests and
e2e lanes and most staging deployments speak plain HTTP. This release
reports instead: each such request increments
rustfs_ssec_plaintext_requests_total and logs one warning per process, so
an operator can confirm nothing would break before the default flips.
RUSTFS_SSE_C_REQUIRE_TLS=true opts into the AWS 400 now.
The verdict is per connection rather than per deployment: the layer is
built with whether this listener terminated TLS, and additionally accepts
an https protocol forwarded by a proxy the trusted-proxy configuration
already vetted. It sits beside the rate limiter, after the layer that
makes a forwarded protocol trustworthy and after the request context, so
a rejection can echo the request id.
Refs backlog#2369 P7.2.
* fix(kms): say what a node-local backend means for a cluster
The Local backend keeps key material on each node's own disk and
generates its Argon2id salt per node, so two nodes derive different keys
from the same master_key and an object encrypted on one node cannot be
decrypted on another. Behind a load balancer that surfaces as
intermittent 500s on reads that succeeded moments earlier, with nothing
tying the symptom to the cause: the only signal was a generic
"development, testing and demos only" positioning warning that says
nothing about what actually breaks.
Configuring or reconfiguring Local while the deployment is distributed
now logs a dedicated event and appends the consequence to the configure
response, so the operator who made the change sees it. The product
decision to warn rather than refuse is unchanged.
Refs backlog#2369 P7.4.
* docs: record the remaining SSE and KMS changes for 1.0.0
Adds changelog entries for the KMS data-path status classification, the
Vault static-token lease probe, the SSE-C plaintext-transport report and
its switch, and the node-local backend warning.
Documents two things the backend security guide never stated: that SSE-C
belongs on a secure transport, with the counter and switch to plan the
change around, and that the Local backend cannot be shared by a
multi-node deployment because each node derives different keys from the
same master key.
Refs backlog#2368 B6; backlog#2369 P3, P5, P7.2, P7.4.
* fix(kms): report an unreadable key store as an outage on the S3 path
A backend now distinguishes a key store it could not read from a key
that is genuinely absent, but the S3 boundary collapsed the first one
back onto 500 InternalError through the fallthrough for integrity
faults. The distinction was therefore invisible to the client: a
temporary key-directory outage looked exactly like a permanently damaged
key record, and neither the status nor the metric said the request was
worth retrying.
An unreadable key store joins the retryable class and answers 503, next
to a backend error and a credential failure. Damaged, unreadable or
unknown-format key material keeps its 500.
Refs backlog#2368 B6; builds on rustfs/rustfs#7470.
* fix(kms): construct wrap_budget_reserved in the VaultKeyData deserializer
main does not compile: #6019 added VaultKeyData.wrap_budget_reserved on a base that predated #6003's hand-written Deserialize, so the visitor's struct literal never learned about the field. Each PR was green on its own base; the breakage only exists in their merge.
The field joins the other three lists the hand-written impl maintains (Field enum, match arm, struct literal, FIELDS) and defaults to 0 when absent — the value a record written before wrap accounting, or rewritten by an older build, carries; zero restarts the reservation rather than blocking a wrap.
vault_key_data_deserializer_covers_every_serialized_field turns this class of mistake into a test failure instead of a merge-order accident: it serializes a fully populated record and asserts the deserializer recognizes every emitted key (unknown-field counter stays zero) and reads every value back. Mutation-verified by dropping the new match arm.
* feat(kms): report a key as due for rotation once its wrap budget is spent
The rotation readiness verdict only knew about age; the wrap accounting landed by #6019 counted wraps and published an aggregate gauge but never fed the per-key verdict, leaving the criterion backlog#1636 asks for unimplemented.
RUSTFS_KMS_ROTATION_MAX_WRAPS adds the second, independent threshold, parsed with the same discipline as the age one: unset or unparsable leaves the verdict unreported rather than inventing a policy, and values below one million are raised to it because wraps are reserved in blocks of that size and a smaller threshold would trip on the first reservation regardless of how many wraps happened.
The wrap check runs before the age check so that a key crossing both reports 'wraps': the AES-GCM random-nonce ceiling is a cryptographic bound an operator cannot negotiate, while the age period is a policy they chose. Backends that report no count — Transit and AWS wrap externally, and pre-accounting records carry nothing — leave the wrap half silent instead of guessing, and a backend that cannot rotate is still never told to.

Add a per-backend rotation-driver matrix to docs/operations/kms-backend-security.md: who performs the rotation on each backend (RustFS for Vault KV2, Vault's Transit engine for Transit, AWS RotateKeyOnDemand for AWS, nobody for Local/Static), how periodic rotation must be scheduled on each (external scheduler for KV2 by design, Vault auto_rotate_period for Transit, AWS-native automatic rotation for AWS since RotateKeyOnDemand carries a lifetime quota), the NIST SP 800-38D 2^32 random-nonce AES-GCM wrap ceiling that Local/Static can never reset, and a pre-rotation checklist referencing the existing upgrade-ordering hard constraint.
Add the KmsKeyRotationOverdue Prometheus rule on rustfs_kms_oldest_key_rotation_age_seconds (400-day conservative default, warning severity, no traffic guard because it is direct gauge state) and its runbook response procedure in docs/operations/kms-observability-runbook.md, following the existing per-alert format.
Sharpen the runbook's rotation-timestamp paragraph with verified per-backend behavior: only Vault KV2 persists rotated_at (stamped in the same check-and-set write that commits the rotation), while Transit and AWS key listings always report it absent, so on those backends the gauge measures key age and does not reset on rotation. Update Threshold calibration and Coverage gaps for the new rule.
Validated with promtool check rules (7 rules, SUCCESS) and scripts/check_doc_paths.sh.
Part of rustfs/backlog#1636 (PR-4).
rustfs/backlog#1636 rejected a built-in rotation scheduler: rotation is a policy decision with a per-backend cost and a hard upgrade-ordering constraint, and a server that rotated on its own would make that decision on an operator's behalf at a moment they did not choose. This is what that issue resolved to deliver instead — the signal, without the actuator.
RUSTFS_KMS_ROTATION_MAX_AGE_SECS names the period. Unset leaves the verdict unreported rather than assuming a policy, because how often keys must be rotated is a compliance decision and a built-in default would report keys as overdue against a rule nobody wrote; an unparsable value is refused the same way, loudly. Values below an hour are raised to it, since a threshold of seconds reports every key as overdue moments after it was rotated and teaches operators to ignore the signal.
KeyInfo gains rotation_due and rotation_due_reason, both additive on the wire and both filled in by the manager rather than by each backend, so no two backends can disagree about what overdue means. A backend that does not advertise rotation reports unsupported and is never reported as due — it must not be told to do something it cannot. A key with no recorded rotation is measured from creation, which is how long its material has actually been in use, and is distinguished from a stale rotation so an operator can tell "overdue again" from "never once". Ages are computed saturating, so a timestamp from a node running ahead cannot manufacture an overdue key.
The verdict is advisory in the strongest sense: nothing consults it before encrypting or decrypting, a key reported as due keeps serving traffic, and readiness is unaffected.
The single-key describe response deliberately does not carry the verdict. Its type records a creation date but no rotation timestamp, so a verdict computed there could not tell a key rotated last week from one never rotated, and reporting never_rotated for a key that was in fact rotated is worse than reporting nothing.
The wraps-based branch the issue also specifies is not implemented: it depends on the per-key wrap accounting that does not exist yet.
The Local backend's durability argument rests on properties of the filesystem it runs on, and those properties were assumptions: the crate had no test touching symlinks, none asserting a published file's mode, and none on directory replacement or cross-device behavior. Writing that verification surfaced three gaps.
The key directory's own permissions were never set and never read. create_dir_all applies the process umask, which is 0 in a good many container images, and the platform picks the mode far more often than an operator does: kubelet creates an emptyDir 0777, several PVC provisioners mkdir -m 0777, a --tmpfs mount lands at 1777. Write access there is the power to delete a key, destroying every object it protects, or to plant a record for a key id that does not exist yet. The directory is now created 0700 through DirBuilder::mode, so intermediate components are covered and no create-then-chmod window exists, and anything wider is narrowed on every start and re-read to confirm it took. Narrowing rather than refusing matches what the observability stack already does with its own directory; refusing would turn each of those platform defaults into a server that will not start while leaving the exposure on disk. Only a directory this process cannot secure is fatal.
An unspecified file_permissions meant whatever the umask said. The field is optional in the persisted configuration and stays optional, but with it absent the entire mode-application block was skipped, so under a 0 umask master key records were published world-readable. Absent now resolves to owner-only inside the commit protocol rather than at each call site, so the backup restore path — which passed the unset value straight through and published a legacy cluster's restored records at 0644 — is covered by construction.
Startup left symlinked commit temps behind forever, because the orphan sweep required a regular file. The protocol only ever creates temps with create_new, so an entry wearing a temp name and any other file type is either its own leftover or something planted.
Eight tests pin the boundaries: that a requested mode survives the umask, that an absent one still resolves owner-only, that a directory at each mode a real platform produces is narrowed, that publishing replaces a symlink instead of writing through it on both the hard_link and rename paths, that a planted hard link cannot be adopted as a key record, that a symlinked commit temp is removed without harming the key it pointed at, and that commit temps never leave the destination's directory. A real cross-device operation and a directory swapped between rename and fsync cannot be verified without a second filesystem and directory file descriptors respectively; both are recorded in the operations documentation rather than left looking covered.
* fix(kms): fail closed on Local key records this build cannot interpret
The Local backend's protection marker is the only version discriminator its
key records have, and three readers walked past it.
`ensure_missing_salt_can_be_generated` skipped every record it could not read
or parse, so a directory whose protection state is unknown still got a fresh
salt published before startup validation failed. That write is the
irreversible step: the next startup finds a salt file, never re-enters the
guard, and the evidence that the real salt was lost is gone. Every record the
guard now rejects already failed startup key validation a few lines later, so
no directory that initializes today stops initializing.
Backup export and restore folded an unknown marker into "material corrupt" /
"bundle corrupted". The record is intact and a newer build reads it fine, so
the operator response is a version change, not a disaster recovery. Both now
classify the marker before their schema parse, sharing one probe with the
backend reader.
`list_keys` dropped any record it could not decode from the page. Concurrent
removal stays a skip; anything else fails the listing rather than answering
"these are your keys" with a set that silently omits one.
* test(kms): cover every fail-closed path around the Local protection marker
Each test fails on the pre-fix code in the way the fix is about: the salt
cases because a replacement salt is published before startup validation
fails, the export and restore cases because the verdict comes back as
corruption, and the listing case because the record is edited out of the page.
The restore commit marker's unknown-version branch had no test at all,
unlike its Vault counterpart; it is now driven from the decoder, from the
restore entry point, and from backend startup.
Also states the widened salt guard in the Local backend operations doc,
including the operator recovery path for an unrecognized record.
* fix(kms): say 'not a readable JSON object' when the marker probe cannot parse
The probe now fails on any input that is not a JSON object, not only on
malformed JSON, so the message must cover both.
* test(kms): assert the salt file before the error variant
The replacement salt is written before the error the guard reports, so the
file assertion is the one that fails on a regression.
* test(kms): guard the new backup error variant's display string
* docs: state that MinIO-encrypted objects are not readable by RustFS
Operators evaluating a MinIO migration had no warning that objects MinIO
wrote with SSE-S3, SSE-KMS, or SSE-C cannot be read back. The container
formats interoperate, so the limitation is easy to discover only after
the data has moved.
Document the limitation where a migration decision is actually made:
- minio-file-format-compat.md gains Part C, covering which object classes
transfer, the three seams that block each SSE mode with file:line
evidence, the reverse direction, and the current workarounds. It also
records that the `rio-v2` MinIO sealed-key parser does not close the
gap: the feature is absent from released artifacts, and the managed-SSE
detection gate is not feature-gated and returns before the parser runs.
- kms-backend-security.md gains an operator-facing warning next to the
backend comparison table, since configuring the static backend with
MinIO's key material looks like it should work and does not.
- s3-compatibility-matrix.md scopes its SSE row to RustFS's own
round-trip.
The read path treats an undetected MinIO-encrypted object as unencrypted
rather than failing, so all three notes tell operators to verify migrated
objects by content instead of by status code.
Refs rustfs/backlog#1638.
* docs: correct the failure mode for MinIO-encrypted objects
The read path does fail closed; the earlier text claimed ciphertext was
served as plaintext. MinIO's internal headers mark the object encrypted,
so the reader refuses when no material resolves. What is actually wrong
is the diagnosis: the refusal surfaces as a 500 InternalError.
docs(kms): correct the KV2 at-rest boundary and rotation rejection claims
The Vault KV2 section claimed the backend reports its confidentiality
boundary as `at_rest_protection: vault-kv2-acl` through `backend_info`.
That accessor, the `BackendInfo` type and its assertion test were removed
in rustfs/rustfs#5501, and no replacement reports the boundary. State
instead that the boundary is documented only, that `kms/status` exposes a
capability matrix covering supported operations rather than key-material
location, and that the backup manifest's `at_rest_protection` field is a
bundle declaration rather than a backend self-report.
The rotation section named `InvalidOperation` as the error Local and
Static return. Neither advertises `rotate`, so the product path falls to
the shared `KmsBackend` default and returns `UnsupportedCapability`;
`InvalidOperation` survives only in a test-only client helper.
* feat(kms): report configuration references that block a key deletion
Adds a KeyImpactReport that states which configuration still points at a
key, how exhaustively the sources were read, and which sources were not
consulted at all. The report deliberately carries no in-use or
safe-to-delete claim: it covers the configuration layer only, so an empty
reference list means nothing was found in the scanned sources, never that
the key is unreferenced.
Immediate deletion destroys key material without ever reaching the
deletion worker, so it never passed the worker's reference gate. The
manager now consults the same checker on that path and refuses with a
typed KeyStillReferenced error. This only ever adds a refusal; the
scheduled deletion path and the worker's blocking behaviour are
unchanged.
* test(kms): cover the immediate-deletion reference refusal
* feat(kms): surface configuration references on the admin key endpoints
DeleteKey and DescribeKey now return an impact section listing the
configuration that points at the key, so an operator scheduling a
deletion sees what will refuse to destroy the material instead of
learning it from a server-side log once the window has run out.
The section is reported, never acted on: scheduling still succeeds while
references exist, and the deletion worker's gate remains the only thing
that decides whether material is destroyed. An immediate deletion that
the manager refuses for an outstanding reference now answers 409.
* test(kms): pin the impact wire shape and the unreferenced force-delete path
* fix(kms): make the DescribeKey impact section opt-in
Collecting the section lists every bucket, and DescribeKey is polled, so
carrying that fan-out on the default read path trades a hot path's cost
for a diagnostic. It is now collected only for impact=true; without the
parameter the endpoint does exactly the work it did before and returns
no impact field.
A value that is neither true nor false is refused rather than read as
off, so a typo cannot answer a request for the section with a response
that merely lacks one. DeleteKey still reports unconditionally: that is
the request whose consequences the caller cannot otherwise see, and it
is not polled.
* fix(kms): box the query-parse refusal now that responses carry impact
The delete response grew an impact section, which pushed it past the
size clippy accepts inline in a Result. It is a full response body
rather than an error code, so it is boxed at the one place that returns
it as an error; the wire shape and the public field type are unchanged.
* feat(kms): accept the AWS backend through KMS configuration
The AWS KMS backend could be constructed but not selected: the admin
configure API had no AWS variant and startup rejected the backend name.
The configure request pins the region rather than defaulting it, because
that configuration is persisted once and replayed on every node: leaving
the region to each node's ambient provider chain would let nodes address
different regions, and therefore different keys, while reporting an
identical configuration. The request accepts no credential fields, so
credentials stay with the aws-config provider chain on each node, and
`deny_unknown_fields` refuses attempts to submit them anyway.
* test(kms): cover AWS backend selection through the service manager
An end-to-end check that an admin configure request selects the AWS
backend, builds a client, and passes the startup health check. Marked
#[ignore]: it needs real AWS credentials, though it creates no key and
is therefore not billable on its own.
fix(admin): retire the query-string form of immediate KMS key deletion
Immediate deletion destroys master key material outright, and every
object encrypted under that key becomes permanently unreadable. The
delete endpoint accepted that request as a query parameter, which is the
form most easily issued by accident and the one that made the waiting
window bypassable.
The query string can now only schedule a deletion: `force_immediate`
with any value other than `false`, or a `confirm_key_id` parameter, is
refused with 400 rather than downgraded to a scheduled deletion, so a
caller cannot read the answer as "destroyed". The JSON body form is
unchanged and remains the single way to reach the service gate that
enforces the server opt-in and the echoed confirmation.
Classify the route accordingly: `RouteRiskLevel` gains `Critical` for
routes whose worst case is permanent loss of user data, and the KMS key
deletion route is the only member, pinned in both directions by a matrix
test. Endpoint-level coverage for the 7-30 day window bound is added for
every configured backend.
Refs rustfs/backlog#1585 (part of rustfs/backlog#1562)
* feat(policy): add built-in KMS role policies
KMSKeyAdministrator, KMSKeyUser and KMSAuditor ship as canned identity
policies so operators can express KMS role separation without hand-writing
the resource grammar. They grant only kms actions, so they compose with an
existing data-plane policy, and none of them confers kms:Configure,
kms:ServiceControl, kms:ClearCache, kms:Backup or kms:Restore.
* docs(kms): document per-key KMS authorization and the role templates
* test(kms): add an end-to-end negative authorization matrix
Covers the admin and SSE-KMS planes for a wrong identity, a wrong key, a
wrong action and an explicit Deny, each preceded by a positive control so a
denial cannot be an unpropagated policy. SSE-S3 and unencrypted objects are
asserted to stay exempt.
* test(replication): pin the SSE-KMS contract with per-key authorization on
The replication worker carries no request identity, so it must stay exempt
from SSE-KMS key authorization. Running the existing contract with the
switch enabled makes a regression in that exemption visible here.
* docs(kms): describe KMS configuration convergence as implemented
* docs(kms): document the landed KMS metric families and narrow the gaps list
* docs(kms): state that no request field sets the cache metrics switch
* docs(kms): correct the describe_key cache divergence bound
* docs(kms): record the cryptographic compliance position
RustFS links no FIPS-validated cryptographic module: the rustls provider is
the ordinary aws-lc-rs build, and every data-path AEAD is RustCrypto. The
crypto crate's default-on `fips` feature only selects PBKDF2+AES-GCM over
Argon2id, with the same RustCrypto implementations behind both branches, so
it cannot support a validation claim either.
Document that status, the terminology rules for external material, the real
semantics of the `fips` feature with a rename direction, the cost of the
three routes to a stronger position, and the sequencing rules for retiring an
algorithm.

* docs(kms): document the mixed-version cluster constraints
Collect the cross-version constraints that landed with versioned rotation and
the check-and-set lifecycle work: which persisted formats decode both ways,
which guarantees only hold once every node is upgraded, how long nodes can
disagree on lifecycle state, and that reconfigure is persisted cluster-wide
but applied only on the node that handled it.
Adds the recommended rolling-upgrade sequence and the list of operations to
avoid while two builds are running.

* feat(kms): add AppRole configuration surface for Vault auth
Extend VaultAuthMethod::AppRole with secret_id_file (re-read on every
login so external rotation is picked up), a configurable auth mount
(default "approle"), and an optional fail-closed safety window. All new
fields are serde(default) so previously persisted configurations keep
deserializing, and the strict admin-configure deserializer accepts them
as optional.
Environment selection: setting RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_ROLE_ID switches
both Vault backends to AppRole; the secret_id comes from
RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_SECRET_ID_FILE (path stored, file wins) or
RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_SECRET_ID, following the static secret-key file
precedent. validate() rejects AppRole configs without a role_id, without
any secret_id source, or with an empty mount.
Also append the CredentialsUnavailable error variant used by the
fail-closed credential gate.
* feat(kms): implement AppRole login with background renewal and fail-closed expiry
Implement the AppRoleLogin token source (vaultrs approle login +
renew-self) and wire lease-bound credentials through the provider:
- Each successful login/renewal installs a new client generation in the
ArcSwap; in-flight requests finish on the generation they captured.
- A background renewal task refreshes at half the lease TTL: renewable
tokens are renewed in place, everything else (or a failed renewal)
falls back to a fresh login. Auth exchanges run under the typed retry
policy (OpClass::Auth) and failed cycles retry on a fixed cadence, so
the provider recovers once Vault does.
- Fail-closed: current() refuses to hand out a token inside the
configured safety window of its expiry (default: one attempt timeout),
returning CredentialsUnavailable instead of sending a request whose
token may lapse mid-flight.
- Refreshes are single-flight: concurrent triggers for the same
generation coalesce into one login.
- The renewal task's owner handle lives on the KMS service version:
stop() shuts it down explicitly and reconfigure recycles it via
cancel-on-drop when the old version is discarded.
- The secret_id file is re-read on every login attempt; missing or empty
files fail the attempt without contacting Vault. Crate-owned copies of
tokens and secret_ids are zeroized on drop, and Debug output of every
credential-carrying type stays redacted (leak regression tests).
The renewal machinery is covered by paused-clock tests driving a
scripted token source: renew-at-half-TTL timing, login fallback,
fail-closed window entry and recovery, prompt task recycling, and
coalesced concurrent refreshes.
* feat(kms): add Vault Agent token file authentication
Add the TokenFile source: the token is read from an agent-managed sink
file (RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_TOKEN_FILE or the TokenFile auth config) and
re-read once per poll interval (default 30s) through the existing
renewal loop, so a token rotated by the agent installs a new client
generation within one poll of the atomic replace. Each successful read
extends the token's observed validity to twice the poll interval; a
file that disappears or turns empty keeps failing the refresh until the
fail-closed window trips, and heals the provider as soon as it is
restored.
Reads are strict and never contact Vault on failure: the file must be
non-empty after trimming, and on Unix group/other permission bits are a
hard error (mirroring the SFTP host-key rule). Rotation detection uses
a content digest; the token itself is never stored on the source and
the crate-owned copy is zeroized.
Configuring the token file together with AppRole or an explicit static
token is rejected as a configuration error. All new config fields are
serde(default) and the strict admin-configure deserializer accepts the
new variant.
Covered by paused-clock tests (atomic replacement installs a new
generation next cycle, deletion fails closed and recovers, prompt task
recycling) plus negatives for missing/empty/over-permissive files and a
Debug leak regression.
* docs(kms): add Vault authentication and credential lifecycle runbook
Cover choosing between static token, AppRole, and Vault Agent token
file auth; AppRole role setup with SecretID delivery and rotation;
Agent sink deployment with the permission requirements; and the
fail-closed window semantics with a troubleshooting table keyed on the
renewal task's log lines.
* feat(kms): retain historical master key versions for Vault KV2 rotation
Rotation previously had to be rejected outright because replacing the
stored material would orphan every DEK wrapped by earlier versions.
Vault KV2 now keeps each version's material in an immutable, create-only
record at {prefix}/{key_id}/versions/{N} and treats the top-level record
as the current-version pointer plus fast-path material copy:
- decrypt resolves the envelope's master_key_version to its version
record; a missing version fails closed with KeyVersionNotFound and
never falls back to the current material
- envelopes without a version (pre-versioning writers) resolve to the
baseline_version frozen at the key's first rotation, so never-rotated
keys behave exactly as before
- generate_data_key stamps the wrapping version from the same key record
snapshot that supplied the material
- rotate_key commits in check-and-set order: freeze baseline, persist
the next version's material, then switch the current pointer; any
failure leaves the current pointer untouched, and concurrent rotations
serialize on the CAS writes with monotonically unique versions
- key listings drop the versions/ directory entries and physical key
deletion purges version records before the key record

* test(kms): pin rotation contracts across backends and document retention
Completes the backlog#1565 series with the cross-backend regression net
and operator documentation:
- Vault Transit: ignored integration test proving version-prefixed
historical ciphertext still decrypts after rotation, with no
RustFS-side version bookkeeping in the envelope
- Local: offline mixed-format test interleaving pre-versioning and
versioned envelopes through a rejected rotation; the existing
rotation-rejection pinning test already covers material immutability
- docs: kms-backend-security.md gains the KV2 versioned retention
model, version record retention/destruction preconditions, and the
upgrade-before-first-rotation cluster constraint
