AWS Nitro Enclave with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) access

This pattern represents an example implementation of outbound communication from an AWS Nitro enclave with an Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) database.

Architecture

Deploying the solution with AWS CDK

Deploying the solution with the AWS CDK The AWS CDK is an open-source framework for defining and provisioning cloud application resources. It uses common programming languages such as JavaScript, C#, and Python. The AWS CDK command line interface (CLI) allows you to interact with CDK applications. It provides features like synthesizing AWS CloudFormation templates, confirming the security changes, and deploying applications.

This section shows how to prepare the environment for running CDK and the sample code. For this walkthrough, you must have the following prerequisites:

An AWS account.

  • An IAM user with administrator access
  • Configured AWS credentials
  • Installed Node.js, Python 3, and pip. To install the example application:

When working with Python, it’s good practice to use venv to create project-specific virtual environments. The use of venv also reflects AWS CDK standard behavior. You can find out more in the workshop Activating the virtualenv.

  1. Install the CDK and test the CDK CLI:

    npm install -g aws-cdk && cdk --version
  2. Download the code from the GitHub repo and switch in the new directory:

    git clone --single-branch --branch feature/rds_integration https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-nitro-enclave-blockchain-wallet.git && cd aws-nitro-enclave-blockchain-wallet
  3. Install the dependencies using the Python package manager:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. Specify the AWS region and account for your deployment:

    export CDK_DEPLOY_REGION=us-east-1
    export CDK_DEPLOY_ACCOUNT=$(aws sts get-caller-identity | jq -r '.Account')
    export CDK_APPLICATION_TYPE=rds_integration
    export CDK_PREFIX=dev

    You can set the CDK_PREFIX variable as per your preference.

  5. Trigger the kmstool_enclave_cli build:

    ./scripts/build_kmstool_enclave_cli.sh
  6. Trigger the viproxy build:

    ./scripts/build_vsock_proxy.sh
  7. Deploy the example code with the CDK CLI:

    cdk deploy ${CDK_PREFIX}NitroRdsIntegration
  8. The deployment will print out the devNitroWalletEth.RDSendpoint parameter. Copy the value devnitrowallet[...]us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com and insert it at the rds_endpoint_address placeholder variable in the nitro_wallet/nitro_rds_integration_stack.py file.

  9. Re-deploy the enclave via:

    cdk deploy ${CDK_PREFIX}NitroRdsIntegration
  10. Get EC2 instance ids by providing the devNitroWalletEth.ASGGroupName from the cdk deploy output to the script:

./scripts/get_asg_instances.sh <asg group name>
  1. Pick one of the two instance ids and connect to it via AWS System Manager Session Manager (SSM):
aws ssm start-session --target <EC2 instance id> --region ${CDK_DEPLOY_REGION}

Note: If Session Manager plugin is not installed, you can install it by following this guide.

  1. Change to ec2-user and attach to the enclave debug output:
sudo su ec2-user
nitro-cli console --enclave-name signing_server

You should see a similar output like this:

viproxy: 2024/03/19 13:08:00 viproxy.go:98: Accepted incoming connection from 127.0.0.1:43970.
viproxy: 2024/03/19 13:08:00 viproxy.go:108: Dispatched forwarders for 127.0.0.1:5432 <-> vm(3):8001.
(1, 'master_key', 'Super important key')
(2, 'secondary_key', 'Less important key')
(3, 'backup_key', 'Somehow important key')
viproxy: 2024/03/19 13:08:00 viproxy.go:136: Closed connection tuple for 127.0.0.1:43970 <-> vm(3):8001.

This tells you that the enclave was able to create a new database schema, inject 3 records and execute a select all.

KMS Key Policy

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "Enable decrypt from enclave",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": <devNitroWalletEth.EC2InstanceRoleARN>
      },
      "Action": "kms:Decrypt",
      "Resource": "*",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEqualsIgnoreCase": {
          "kms:RecipientAttestation:ImageSha384": <PCR0_VALUE_FROM_EIF_BUILD>
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "Sid": "Enable encrypt from lambda",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": <devNitroWalletEth.LambdaExecutionRoleARN>
      },
      "Action": "kms:Encrypt",
      "Resource": "*"
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": <KMS_ADMINISTRATOR_ROLE_ARN>
      },
      "Action": [
        "kms:Create*",
        "kms:Describe*",
        "kms:Enable*",
        "kms:List*",
        "kms:Put*",
        "kms:Update*",
        "kms:Revoke*",
        "kms:Disable*",
        "kms:Get*",
        "kms:Delete*",
        "kms:ScheduleKeyDeletion",
        "kms:CancelKeyDeletion",
        "kms:GenerateDataKey",
        "kms:TagResource",
        "kms:UntagResource"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}

To leverage the provided generate_key_policy.sh script, a CDK output file needs to be provided. This file can be created by running the following command:

cdk deploy devNitroWalletEth -O output.json

After the output.json file has been created, the following command can be used to create the KMS key policy:

./script/generate_key_policy.sh ./output.json

If the debug mode has been turned on by appending --debug-mode to the enclaves start sequence, the enclaves PCR0 value in the AWS KMS key policy needs to be updated to 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, otherwise AWS KMS will return error code 400.

Key Generation and Requests

Create Ethereum Key

Use the command below to create a temporary Ethereum private key.

openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout | openssl ec -text -noout > key
cat key | grep priv -A 3 | tail -n +2 | tr -d '\n[:space:]:' | sed 's/^00//'

Use the following command to calculate the corresponding public address for your temporary Ethereum key created in the previous step. keccak-256sum binary needs to be made available to execute the calculation step successfully.

cat key | grep pub -A 5 | tail -n +2 | tr -d '\n[:space:]:' | sed 's/^04//' > pub
echo "0x$(cat pub | keccak-256sum -x -l | tr -d ' -' | tail -c 41)"

Please be aware that the calculated public address does not comply with the valid mixed-case checksum encoding standard for Ethereum addresses specified in EIP-55.

Set Ethereum Key

Replace the Ethereum key placeholder in the JSON request below and use the request to encrypt and store the Ethereum key via the Lambda test console:

{
  "operation": "set_key",
  "eth_key": <ethereum_key_placeholder>
}

Sign EIP-1559 Transaction

Use the request below to sign an Ethereum EIP-1559 transaction with the saved Ethereum key using the Labda test console:

{
  "operation": "sign_transaction",
  "transaction_payload": {
    "value": 0.01,
    "to": "0xa5D3241A1591061F2a4bB69CA0215F66520E67cf",
    "nonce": 0,
    "type": 2,
    "chainId": 4,
    "gas": 100000,
    "maxFeePerGas": 100000000000,
    "maxPriorityFeePerGas": 3000000000
  }
}

Cleaning up

Once you have completed the deployment and tested the application, clean up the environment to avoid incurring extra cost. This command removes all resources in this stack provisioned by the CDK:

cdk destroy
