Description of PR

NIFI-8251 Adds the following Processors and Controller Services in a new nifi-pgp-bundle and related modules:

  • EncryptContentPGP
  • DecryptContentPGP
  • StandardPGPPrivateKeyService
  • StandardPGPPublicKeyService

The new components address a number of latent issues related to PGP handling in the EncryptContent Processor:

  • NIFI-7396 EncryptContentPGP writes encryption metadata attributes
  • NIFI-6708 Controller Services support ElGamal Public and Private Keys
  • NIFI-5346 Controller Services support Keyring Files and ASCII Key properties
  • NIFI-5335 Controller Services support multiple public or private keys from keyrings
  • NIFI-2983 DecryptContentPGP finds and decrypts Encrypted Data Packets regardless of signing
  • NIFI-1694 Controller Services support individual key files or keyrings

The EncryptContentPGP Processor supports several configuration properties that were previously hard-coded in EncryptContent:

  • File Encoding either Binary or ASCII Armor
  • Compression Algorithm

The EncryptContentPGP supports AES or Camellia Symmetric-Key Algorithms with key sizes of 128, 192, or 256. Support for other algorithms is not included in this initial version in order to discourage the use of less secure algorithms. When configured with a PGPPublicKeyService, the EncryptContentPGP Processor requires the presence of a Public Key ID formatted using the long format as a 16 character hexadecimal string. This approach provides direct control over which key to use for encryption and also supports both RSA and ElGamal Public Keys.

The DecryptContentPGP Processor is capable of reading messages encrypted using any of the Symmetric-Key Algorithms supported in the BouncyCastle library. The DecryptContentPGP Processor supports reading either binary or ASCII Armor encoded messages through content detection and also handles standard compression algorithms. In addition, the DecryptContentPGP Processor is capable of handling signed messages and decrypting the contents. Additional efforts to support signature verification can be implemented as separate processors under NIFI-7322. The DecryptContentPGP Processor can be configured to read messages encrypted with either Password-Based Encryption or Public Key Encryption when configured with the necessary properties. The Processor leverages the PGPPrivateKeyService to find associated Private Keys when processing messages encrypted using Public Key Encryption.

The PGP Controller Services abstract access to Public and Private Key files. Both services support binary or ASCII Armor keyrings, as well as the option to provide an ASCII Armored keyring as a property. Public Keys are not considered sensitive, whereas Private Keys are considered sensitive and encrypted using standard NiFi Sensitive Properties encryption.

In order to streamline the review of the contribution we ask you
to ensure the following steps have been taken:

For all changes:

  • Is there a JIRA ticket associated with this PR? Is it referenced
    in the commit message?

  • Does your PR title start with NIFI-XXXX where XXXX is the JIRA number you are trying to resolve? Pay particular attention to the hyphen "-" character.

  • Has your PR been rebased against the latest commit within the target branch (typically main)?

  • Is your initial contribution a single, squashed commit? Additional commits in response to PR reviewer feedback should be made on this branch and pushed to allow change tracking. Do not squash or use --force when pushing to allow for clean monitoring of changes.

For code changes:

  • Have you ensured that the full suite of tests is executed via mvn -Pcontrib-check clean install at the root nifi folder?
  • Have you written or updated unit tests to verify your changes?
  • Have you verified that the full build is successful on JDK 8?
  • Have you verified that the full build is successful on JDK 11?
  • If adding new dependencies to the code, are these dependencies licensed in a way that is compatible for inclusion under ASF 2.0?
  • If applicable, have you updated the LICENSE file, including the main LICENSE file under nifi-assembly?
  • If applicable, have you updated the NOTICE file, including the main NOTICE file found under nifi-assembly?
  • If adding new Properties, have you added .displayName in addition to .name (programmatic access) for each of the new properties?

For documentation related changes:

  • Have you ensured that format looks appropriate for the output in which it is rendered?

Note:

Please ensure that once the PR is submitted, you check GitHub Actions CI for build issues and submit an update to your PR as soon as possible.

Minor note -- it looks like you'll need to add the new pgp nars to the nifi-assembly/pom.xml.

Great work, David. Aside from needing to add the pgp nars to the nifi-assembly pom.xml, I believe all of my suggested changes are captured in the review comments. I'm looking forward to using these processors!

…cryptContentPGP

- Added unit tests for encryption and decryption with both password-based and public key
- Added PGP NAR dependencies to nifi-assembly

Thanks for the detailed and helpful feedback @gresockj! I pushed an update to address your comments, which includes improving DecryptContentPGP to support handling multiple Encrypted Data packets, as is the case when content is encrypted with both a password and public key.
