Custom Keystore Providers

Download ODBC driver

Overview

The column encryption feature of SQL Server 2016 requires that the Encrypted Column Encryption Keys (ECEKs) stored on the server are retrieved by the client and then decrypted to Column Encryption Keys (CEKs) in order to access the data stored in encrypted columns. ECEKs are encrypted by Column Master Keys (CMKs), and the security of the CMK is important to the security of column encryption. Thus, the CMK should be stored in a secure location; the purpose of a Column Encryption Keystore Provider is to provide an interface to allow the ODBC driver to access these securely stored CMKs. For users with their own secure storage, the Custom Keystore Provider Interface provides a framework for implementing access to secure storage of the CMK for the ODBC driver, which can then be used to perform CEK encryption and decryption.

Each keystore provider contains and manages one or more CMKs, which are identified by key paths - strings of a format defined by the provider. This CMK, along with the encryption algorithm, also a string defined by the provider, can be used to perform the encryption of a CEK and the decryption of an ECEK. The algorithm, along with the ECEK and the name of the provider, are stored in the database's encryption metadata. For more information, see CREATE COLUMN MASTER KEY and CREATE COLUMN ENCRYPTION KEY. Thus, the two fundamental operations of key management are:

CEK = DecryptViaCEKeystoreProvider(CEKeystoreProvider_name, Key_path, Key_algorithm, ECEK)

-and-

ECEK = EncryptViaCEKeystoreProvider(CEKeyStoreProvider_name, Key_path, Key_algorithm, CEK)

where the CEKeystoreProvider_name is used to identify the specific Column Encryption Keystore Provider (CEKeystoreProvider), and the other arguments are used by the CEKeystoreProvider to encrypt/decrypt the (E)CEK. The name and key path are provided by the CMK metadata, while the algorithm and ECEK value are provided by the CEK metadata. Multiple keystore providers may be present alongside the default built-in provider(s). Upon performing an operation that requires the CEK, the driver uses the CMK metadata to find the appropriate keystore provider by name, and executes its decryption operation, which can be expressed as:

CEK = CEKeyStoreProvider_specific_decrypt(Key_path, Key_algorithm, ECEK)

Although the driver has no need to encrypt CEKs, a key management tool may need to do so in order to implement operations such as CMK creation and rotation. These actions require performing the inverse operation:

ECEK = CEKeyStoreProvider_specific_encrypt(Key_path, Key_algorithm, CEK)

CEKeyStoreProvider interface

This document describes in detail the CEKeyStoreProvider interface. A keystore provider that implements this interface can be used by the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server. CEKeyStoreProvider implementers can use this guide to develop custom keystore providers usable by the driver.

A keystore provider library ("provider library") is a dynamic-link library that can be loaded by the ODBC driver, and contains one or more keystore providers. The symbol CEKeystoreProvider must be exported by a provider library, and be the address of a null-terminated array of pointers to CEKeystoreProvider structures, one for each keystore provider within the library.

A CEKeystoreProvider structure defines the entry points of a single keystore provider:

typedef struct CEKeystoreProvider {
    wchar_t *Name;
    int (*Init)(CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx, errFunc *onError);
    int (*Read)(CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx, errFunc *onError, void *data, unsigned int *len);
    int (*Write)(CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx, errFunc *onError, void *data, unsigned int len);
    int (*DecryptCEK)(  CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx,
                        errFunc *onError,
                        const wchar_t *keyPath,
                        const wchar_t *alg,
                        unsigned char *ecek,
                        unsigned short ecekLen,
                        unsigned char **cekOut,
                        unsigned short *cekLen);
    int (*EncryptCEK)(  CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx,
                        errFunc *onError,
                        const wchar_t *keyPath,
                        const wchar_t *alg,
                        unsigned char *cek,
                        unsigned short cekLen,
                        unsigned char **ecekOut,
                        unsigned short *ecekLen);
    void (*Free)();
} CEKEYSTOREPROVIDER;
Field Name Description
Name The name of the keystore provider. It must not be the same as any other keystore provider previously loaded by the driver or present in this library. Null-terminated, wide-character* string.
Init Initialization function. If an initialization function is not required, this field may be null.
Read Provider read function. May be null if not required.
Write Provider write function. Required if Read is not null. May be null if not required.
DecryptCEK ECEK decryption function. This function is the reason for existence of a keystore provider, and must not be null.
EncryptCEK CEK encryption function. The driver does not call this function, but it is provided to allow for programmatic access to ECEK creation by key management tools. May be null if not required.
Free Termination function. May be null if not required.

Except for Free, the functions in this interface all have a pair of parameters, ctx and onError. The former identifies the context in which the function is called, while the latter is used for reporting errors. For more information, see Contexts and Error Handling below.

int Init(CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx, errFunc onError);

Placeholder name for a provider-defined initialization function. The driver calls this function once, after a provider has been loaded, but before the first time it needs it to perform ECEK decryption or Read()/Write() requests. Use this function to perform any initialization it needs.

Argument Description
ctx [Input] Operation context.
onError [Input] Error-reporting function.
Return Value Return nonzero to indicate success, or zero to indicate failure.
int Read(CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx, errFunc onError, void *data, unsigned int *len);

Placeholder name for a provider-defined communication function. The driver calls this function when the application requests to read data from a (previously written to) provider using the SQL_COPT_SS_CEKEYSTOREDATA connection attribute, allowing the application to read arbitrary data from the provider. For more information, see Communicating with Keystore Providers.

Argument Description
ctx [Input] Operation context.
onError [Input] Error-reporting function.
data [Output] Pointer to a buffer in which the provider writes data to be read by the application. This buffer corresponds to the data field of the CEKEYSTOREDATA structure.
len [InOut] Pointer to a length value; upon input, this value is the maximum length of the data buffer, and the provider shall not write more than *len bytes to it. Upon return, the provider should update *len with the number of bytes written.
Return Value Return nonzero to indicate success, or zero to indicate failure.
int Write(CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx, errFunc onError, void *data, unsigned int len);

Placeholder name for a provider-defined communication function. The driver calls this function when the application requests to write data to a provider using the SQL_COPT_SS_CEKEYSTOREDATA connection attribute, allowing the application to write arbitrary data to the provider. For more information, see Communicating with Keystore Providers.

Argument Description
ctx [Input] Operation context.
onError [Input] Error-reporting function.
data [Input] Pointer to a buffer containing the data for the provider to read. This buffer corresponds to the data field of the CEKEYSTOREDATA structure. The provider must not read more than len bytes from this buffer.
len [Input] The number of bytes available in data. This value corresponds to the dataSize field of the CEKEYSTOREDATA structure.
Return Value Return nonzero to indicate success, or zero to indicate failure.
int (*DecryptCEK)( CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx, errFunc *onError, const wchar_t *keyPath, const wchar_t *alg, unsigned char *ecek, unsigned short ecekLen, unsigned char **cekOut, unsigned short *cekLen);

Placeholder name for a provider-defined ECEK decryption function. The driver calls this function to decrypt an ECEK encrypted by a CMK associated with this provider into a CEK.

Argument Description
ctx [Input] Operation context.
onError [Input] Error-reporting function.
keyPath [Input] The value of the KEY_PATH metadata attribute for the CMK referenced by the given ECEK. Null-terminated wide-character* string. This value is intended to identify a CMK handled by this provider.
alg [Input] The value of the ALGORITHM metadata attribute for the given ECEK. Null-terminated wide-character* string. This value is intended to identify the encryption algorithm used to encrypt the given ECEK.
ecek [Input] Pointer to the ECEK to be decrypted.
ecekLen [Input] Length of the ECEK.
cekOut [Output] The provider shall allocate memory for the decrypted ECEK and write its address to the pointer pointed to by cekOut. It must be possible to free this block of memory using the LocalFree (Windows) or free (Linux/macOS) function. If no memory was allocated due to an error or otherwise, the provider shall set *cekOut to a null pointer.
cekLen [Output] The provider shall write to the address pointed to by cekLen the length of the decrypted ECEK that it has written to **cekOut.
Return Value Return nonzero to indicate success, or zero to indicate failure.
int (*EncryptCEK)( CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx, errFunc *onError, const wchar_t *keyPath, const wchar_t *alg, unsigned char *cek,unsigned short cekLen, unsigned char **ecekOut, unsigned short *ecekLen);

Placeholder name for a provider-defined CEK encryption function. The driver does not call this function nor expose its functionality through the ODBC interface, but it is provided to allow for programmatic access to ECEK creation by key management tools.

Argument Description
ctx [Input] Operation context.
onError [Input] Error-reporting function.
keyPath [Input] The value of the KEY_PATH metadata attribute for the CMK referenced by the given ECEK. Null-terminated wide-character* string. This value is intended to identify a CMK handled by this provider.

cek [Input] Pointer to the CEK to be encrypted.
cekLen [Input] Length of the CEK.
ecekOut [Output] The provider shall allocate memory for the encrypted CEK and write its address to the pointer pointed to by ecekOut. It must be possible to free this block of memory using the LocalFree (Windows) or free (Linux/macOS) function. If no memory was allocated due to an error or otherwise, the provider shall set *ecekOut to a null pointer.
ecekLen [Output] The provider shall write to the address pointed to by ecekLen the length of the encrypted CEK that it has written to **ecekOut.
Return Value Return nonzero to indicate success, or zero to indicate failure.
void (*Free)();

Placeholder name for a provider-defined termination function. The driver may call this function upon normal termination of the process.

Note

Wide-character strings are 2-byte characters (UTF-16) due to how SQL Server stores them.

Error Handling

As errors may occur during a provider's processing, a mechanism is provided to allow it to report errors back to the driver in more specific detail than a boolean success/failure. Many of the functions have a pair of parameters, ctx and onError, which are used together for this purpose in addition to the success/failure return value.

The ctx parameter identifies the context in which a provider operation occurs.

The onError parameter points to an error-reporting function, with the following prototype:

typedef void errFunc(CEKEYSTORECONTEXT *ctx, const wchar_t *msg, ...);

Argument Description
ctx [Input] The context to report the error on.
msg [Input] The error message to report. Null-terminated wide-character string. To allow parameterized information, this string may contain insert-formatting sequences of the form accepted by the FormatMessage function. Extended functionality may be specified by this parameter as described below.
... [Input] Extra variadic parameters to fit format specifiers in msg, as appropriate.

To report when an error has occurred, the provider calls onError, supplying the context parameter passed into the provider function by the driver and an error message with optional extra parameters to be formatted in it. The provider may call this function multiple times to post multiple error messages consecutively within one provider-function invocation. For example:

    if (!doSomething(...))
    {
        onError(ctx, L"An error occurred in doSomething.");
        onError(ctx, L"Additional error message with more details.");
        return 0;
    }

The msg parameter is ordinarily a wide-character string, but more extensions are available:

By using one of the special predefined values with the IDS_MSG macro, generic error messages already existing and in a localized form in the driver may be utilized. For example, if a provider fails to allocate memory, the IDS_S1_001 "Memory allocation failure" message can be used:

onError(ctx, IDS_MSG(IDS_S1_001));

For the error to be recognized by the driver, the provider function must return failure. When a failure happens in the context of an ODBC operation, the posted errors will become accessible on the connection or statement handle via the standard ODBC diagnostics mechanism (SQLError, SQLGetDiagRec, and SQLGetDiagField).

Context Association

The CEKEYSTORECONTEXT structure, in addition to providing context for the error callback, can also be used to determine the ODBC context in which a provider operation is executed. This context allows a provider to associate data to each of these contexts, for example, to implement per-connection configuration. For this purpose, the structure contains three opaque pointers corresponding to the environment, connection, and statement context:

typedef struct CEKeystoreContext
{
void *envCtx;
void *dbcCtx;
void *stmtCtx;
} CEKEYSTORECONTEXT;
Field Description
envCtx Environment context.
dbcCtx Connection context.
stmtCtx Statement context.

Each of these contexts is an opaque value which, while not the same as the corresponding ODBC handle, can be used as a unique identifier for the handle: if handle X is associated with context value Y, then no other environment, connection, or statement handles that exist simultaneously at the same time as X will have a context value of Y, and no other context values will be associated with handle X. If the provider operation being accomplished lacks a particular handle context (for example, SQLSetConnectAttr calls to load and configure providers, in which there is no statement handle), the corresponding context value in the structure is null.
