34  * QCryptoSecret:
35  *
36  * The QCryptoSecret object provides storage of secrets,
37  * which may be user passwords, encryption keys or any
38  * other kind of sensitive data that is represented as
39  * a sequence of bytes.
40  *
41  * The sensitive data associated with the secret can
42  * be provided directly via the 'data' property, or
43  * indirectly via the 'file' property. In the latter
44  * case there is support for file descriptor passing
45  * via the usual /dev/fdset/NN syntax that QEMU uses.
46  *
47  * The data for a secret can be provided in two formats,
48  * either as a UTF-8 string (the default), or as base64
49  * encoded 8-bit binary data. The latter is appropriate
50  * for raw encryption keys, while the former is appropriate
51  * for user entered passwords.
52  *
53  * The data may be optionally encrypted with AES-256-CBC,
54  * and the decryption key provided by another
55  * QCryptoSecret instance identified by the 'keyid'
56  * property. When passing sensitive data directly
57  * via the 'data' property it is strongly recommended
58  * to use the AES encryption facility to prevent the
59  * sensitive data being exposed in the process listing
60  * or system log files.
61  *
62  * Providing data directly, insecurely (suitable for
63  * ad hoc developer testing only)
64  *
65  *  $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein
66  *
67  * Providing data indirectly:
68  *
69  *  # printf "letmein" > password.txt
70  *  # $QEMU \
71  *      -object secret,id=sec0,file=password.txt
72  *
73  * Using a master encryption key with data.
74  *
75  * The master key needs to be created as 32 secure
76  * random bytes (optionally base64 encoded)
77  *
78  *  # openssl rand -base64 32 > key.b64
79  *  # KEY=$(base64 -d key.b64 | hexdump  -v -e '/1 "%02X"')
80  *
81  * Each secret to be encrypted needs to have a random
82  * initialization vector generated. These do not need
83  * to be kept secret
84  *
85  *  # openssl rand -base64 16 > iv.b64
86  *  # IV=$(base64 -d iv.b64 | hexdump  -v -e '/1 "%02X"')
87  *
88  * A secret to be defined can now be encrypted
89  *
90  *  # SECRET=$(printf "letmein" |
91  *             openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -a -K $KEY -iv $IV)
92  *
93  * When launching QEMU, create a master secret pointing
94  * to key.b64 and specify that to be used to decrypt
95  * the user password
96  *
97  *  # $QEMU \
98  *      -object secret,id=secmaster0,format=base64,file=key.b64 \
99  *      -object secret,id=sec0,keyid=secmaster0,format=base64,\
100  *          data=$SECRET,iv=$(<iv.b64)
101  *
102  * When encrypting, the data can still be provided via an
103  * external file, in which case it is possible to use either
104  * raw binary data, or base64 encoded. This example uses
105  * raw format
106  *
107  *  # printf "letmein" |
108  *       openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -K $KEY -iv $IV -o pw.aes
109  *  # $QEMU \
110  *      -object secret,id=secmaster0,format=base64,file=key.b64 \
111  *      -object secret,id=sec0,keyid=secmaster0,\
112  *          file=pw.aes,iv=$(<iv.b64)
113  *
114  * Note that the ciphertext can be in either raw or base64
115  * format, as indicated by the 'format' parameter, but the
116  * plaintext resulting from decryption is expected to always
117  * be in raw format.
