|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `crypt` remote encrypts and decrypts another remote.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use it first set up the underlying remote following the config
|
|
|
|
|
instructions for that remote. You can also use a local pathname
|
|
|
|
|
instead of a remote which will encrypt and decrypt from that directory
|
|
|
|
|
which might be useful for encrypting onto a USB stick for example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First check your chosen remote is working - we'll call it
|
|
|
|
|
`remote:path` in these docs. Note that anything inside `remote:path`
|
|
|
|
|
will be encrypted and anything outside won't. This means that if you
|
|
|
|
|
are using a bucket based remote (eg S3, B2, swift) then you should
|
|
|
|
|
probably put the bucket in the remote `s3:bucket`. If you just use
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
`s3:` then rclone will make encrypted bucket names too (if using file
|
|
|
|
|
name encryption) which may or may not be what you want.
|
2016-07-25 20:18:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now configure `crypt` using `rclone config`. We will call this one
|
|
|
|
|
`secret` to differentiate it from the `remote`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

**Important** The password is stored in the config file is lightly
|
|
|
|
|
obscured so it isn't immediately obvious what it is. It is in no way
|
|
|
|
|
secure unless you use config file encryption.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A long passphrase is recommended, or you can use a random one. Note
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
that if you reconfigure rclone with the same passwords/passphrases
|
2016-07-25 20:18:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
elsewhere it will be compatible - all the secrets used are derived
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
from those two passwords/passphrases.

## Specifying the remote ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In normal use, make sure the remote has a `:` in. If you specify the
|
|
|
|
|
remote without a `:` then rclone will use a local directory of that
|
|
|
|
|
name. So if you use a remote of `/path/to/secret/files` then rclone
|
|
|
|
|
will encrypt stuff to that directory. If you use a remote of `name`
|
|
|
|
|
then rclone will put files in a directory called `name` in the current
|
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you specify the remote as `remote:path/to/dir` then rclone will
|
|
|
|
|
store encrypted files in `path/to/dir` on the remote. If you are using
|
|
|
|
|
file name encryption, then when you save files to
|
|
|
|
|
`secret:subdir/subfile` this will store them in the unencrypted path
|
|
|
|
|
`path/to/dir` but the `subdir/subpath` bit will be encrypted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that unless you want encrypted bucket names (which are difficult
|
|
|
|
|
to manage because you won't know what directory they represent in web
|
|
|
|
|
interfaces etc), you should probably specify a bucket, eg
|
|
|
|
|
`remote:secretbucket` when using bucket based remotes such as S3,
|
|
|
|
|
Swift, Hubic, B2, GCS.

## Example ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
To test I made a little directory of files using "standard" file name
|
|
|
|
|
encryption.
|
2016-07-25 20:18:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
plaintext/
|
|
|
|
|
├── file0.txt
|
|
|
|
|
├── file1.txt
|
|
|
|
|
└── subdir
|
|
|
|
|
├── file2.txt
|
|
|
|
|
├── file3.txt
|
|
|
|
|
└── subsubdir
|
|
|
|
|
└── file4.txt
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copy these to the remote and list them back
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
$ rclone -q copy plaintext secret:
|
|
|
|
|
$ rclone -q ls secret:
|
|
|
|
|
7 file1.txt
|
|
|
|
|
6 file0.txt
|
|
|
|
|
8 subdir/file2.txt
|
|
|
|
|
10 subdir/subsubdir/file4.txt
|
|
|
|
|
9 subdir/file3.txt
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now see what that looked like when encrypted
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
$ rclone -q ls remote:path

|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this retains the directory structure which means you can do this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
$ rclone -q ls secret:subdir
|
|
|
|
|
8 file2.txt
|
|
|
|
|
9 file3.txt
|
|
|
|
|
10 subsubdir/file4.txt
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
If don't use file name encryption then the remote will look like this
|
|
|
|
|
- note the `.bin` extensions added to prevent the cloud provider
|
|
|
|
|
attempting to interpret the data.
|

|
Obfuscation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a simple "rotate" of the filename, with each file having a rot
|
|
|
|
|
distance based on the filename. We store the distance at the beginning
|
|
|
|
|
of the filename. So a file called "hello" may become "53.jgnnq"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is not a strong encryption of filenames, but it may stop automated
|
|
|
|
|
scanning tools from picking up on filename patterns. As such it's an
|
|
|
|
|
intermediate between "off" and "standard". The advantage is that it
|
|
|
|
|
allows for longer path segment names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a possibility with some unicode based filenames that the
|
|
|
|
|
obfuscation is weak and may map lower case characters to upper case
|
|
|
|
|
equivalents. You can not rely on this for strong protection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* file names very lightly obfuscated
|
|
|
|
|
* file names can be longer than standard encryption
|
|
|
|
|
* can use sub paths and copy single files
|
2017-10-28 08:03:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* directory structure visible
|
2017-03-12 19:14:36 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* identical files names will have identical uploaded names
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Cloud storage systems have various limits on file name length and
|
|
|
|
|
total path length which you are more likely to hit using "Standard"
|
|
|
|
|
file name encryption. If you keep your file names to below 156
|
|
|
|
|
characters in length then you should be OK on all providers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There may be an even more secure file name encryption mode in the
|
|
|
|
|
future which will address the long file name problem.

### Directory name encryption ###
|
|
|
|
|
Crypt offers the option of encrypting dir names or leaving them intact.
|
|
|
|
|
There are two options:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
True
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Encrypts the whole file path including directory names
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
|
`1/12/123.txt` is encrypted to
|
|
|
|
|
`p0e52nreeaj0a5ea7s64m4j72s/l42g6771hnv3an9cgc8cr2n1ng/qgm4avr35m5loi1th53ato71v0`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
False
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only encrypts file names, skips directory names
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
2018-03-17 12:59:25 +01:00
|
|
|
|
`1/12/123.txt` is encrypted to
|
2017-11-06 08:35:53 +01:00
|
|
|
|
`1/12/qgm4avr35m5loi1th53ato71v0`
|
|

### Modified time and hashes ###
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crypt stores modification times using the underlying remote so support
|
|
|
|
|
depends on that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hashes are not stored for crypt. However the data integrity is
|
|
|
|
|
protected by an extremely strong crypto authenticator.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Note that you should use the `rclone cryptcheck` command to check the
|
|
|
|
|
integrity of a crypted remote instead of `rclone check` which can't
|
|
|
|
|
check the checksums properly.

### Advanced Options
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the advanced options specific to crypt (Encrypt/Decrypt a remote).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### --crypt-show-mapping
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For all files listed show how the names encrypt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this flag is set then for each file that the remote is asked to
|
|
|
|
|
list, it will log (at level INFO) a line stating the decrypted file
|
|
|
|
|
name and the encrypted file name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is so you can work out which encrypted names are which decrypted
|
|
|
|
|
names just in case you need to do something with the encrypted file
|
|
|
|
|
names, or for debugging purposes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Config: show_mapping
|
|
|
|
|
- Env Var: RCLONE_CRYPT_SHOW_MAPPING
|
|
|
|
|
- Type: bool
|
|
|
|
|
- Default: false

## Backing up a crypted remote ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to backup a crypted remote, it it recommended that you use
|
|
|
|
|
`rclone sync` on the encrypted files, and make sure the passwords are
|
|
|
|
|
the same in the new encrypted remote.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will have the following advantages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `rclone sync` will check the checksums while copying
|
|
|
|
|
* you can use `rclone check` between the encrypted remotes
|
2017-10-28 08:03:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* you don't decrypt and encrypt unnecessarily
|
2017-02-12 17:49:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, let's say you have your original remote at `remote:` with
|
|
|
|
|
the encrypted version at `eremote:` with path `remote:crypt`. You
|
|
|
|
|
would then set up the new remote `remote2:` and then the encrypted
|
|
|
|
|
version `eremote2:` with path `remote2:crypt` using the same passwords
|
|
|
|
|
as `eremote:`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To sync the two remotes you would do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rclone sync remote:crypt remote2:crypt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And to check the integrity you would do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rclone check remote:crypt remote2:crypt
|
|

### File encryption ###
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Files are encrypted 1:1 source file to destination object. The file
|
|
|
|
|
has a header and is divided into chunks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Header ####
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 8 bytes magic string `RCLONE\x00\x00`
|
|
|
|
|
* 24 bytes Nonce (IV)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The initial nonce is generated from the operating systems crypto
|
2017-10-28 08:03:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
strong random number generator. The nonce is incremented for each
|
2016-07-25 20:18:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
chunk read making sure each nonce is unique for each block written.
|
2017-10-28 08:03:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
The chance of a nonce being re-used is minuscule. If you wrote an
|
2016-07-25 20:18:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
exabyte of data (10¹⁸ bytes) you would have a probability of
|
|
|
|
|
approximately 2×10⁻³² of re-using a nonce.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Chunk ####
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each chunk will contain 64kB of data, except for the last one which
|
|
|
|
|
may have less data. The data chunk is in standard NACL secretbox
|
|
|
|
|
format. Secretbox uses XSalsa20 and Poly1305 to encrypt and
|
|
|
|
|
authenticate messages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each chunk contains:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 16 Bytes of Poly1305 authenticator
|
|
|
|
|
* 1 - 65536 bytes XSalsa20 encrypted data
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
64k chunk size was chosen as the best performing chunk size (the
|
|
|
|
|
authenticator takes too much time below this and the performance drops
|
|
|
|
|
off due to cache effects above this). Note that these chunks are
|
|
|
|
|
buffered in memory so they can't be too big.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This uses a 32 byte (256 bit key) key derived from the user password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Examples ####
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 byte file will encrypt to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 32 bytes header
|
|
|
|
|
* 17 bytes data chunk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
49 bytes total
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1MB (1048576 bytes) file will encrypt to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 32 bytes header
|
|
|
|
|
* 16 chunks of 65568 bytes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1049120 bytes total (a 0.05% overhead). This is the overhead for big
|
|
|
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Name encryption ###
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
File names are encrypted segment by segment - the path is broken up
|
|
|
|
|
into `/` separated strings and these are encrypted individually.
|
2016-07-25 20:18:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
File segments are padded using using PKCS#7 to a multiple of 16 bytes
|
|
|
|
|
before encryption.
|
2016-07-25 20:18:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They are then encrypted with EME using AES with 256 bit key. EME
|
|
|
|
|
(ECB-Mix-ECB) is a wide-block encryption mode presented in the 2003
|
|
|
|
|
paper "A Parallelizable Enciphering Mode" by Halevi and Rogaway.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-28 08:03:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
This makes for deterministic encryption which is what we want - the
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
same filename must encrypt to the same thing otherwise we can't find
|
|
|
|
|
it on the cloud storage system.
|
2016-07-25 20:18:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* filenames with the same name will encrypt the same
|
|
|
|
|
* filenames which start the same won't have a common prefix
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This uses a 32 byte key (256 bits) and a 16 byte (128 bits) IV both of
|
|
|
|
|
which are derived from the user password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After encryption they are written out using a modified version of
|
|
|
|
|
standard `base32` encoding as described in RFC4648. The standard
|
|
|
|
|
encoding is modified in two ways:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* it becomes lower case (no-one likes upper case filenames!)
|
|
|
|
|
* we strip the padding character `=`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`base32` is used rather than the more efficient `base64` so rclone can be
|
|
|
|
|
used on case insensitive remotes (eg Windows, Amazon Drive).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Key derivation ###
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-28 08:03:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Rclone uses `scrypt` with parameters `N=16384, r=8, p=1` with an
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
optional user supplied salt (password2) to derive the 32+32+16 = 80
|
|
|
|
|
bytes of key material required. If the user doesn't supply a salt
|
|
|
|
|
then rclone uses an internal one.
|
2016-07-25 20:18:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`scrypt` makes it impractical to mount a dictionary attack on rclone
|
2017-10-28 08:03:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
encrypted data. For full protection against this you should always use
|
2016-08-20 19:46:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
a salt.
|
