Keyless Signature Infrastructure Provider (ksi)
===============================================
**Signature Provider Name: ksi**
**Author:** Rainer Gerhards <rgerhards@adiscon.com>
**Supported:** from 8.11.0 to 8.26.0
**Description**:
Provides the ability to sign syslog messages via the GuardTime KSI
signature services.
**Configuration Parameters**:
Note: parameter names are case-insensitive.
Signature providers are loaded by omfile, when the provider is selected
in its "sig.providerName" parameter. Parameters for the provider are
given in the omfile action instance line.
This provider creates a signature file with the same base name but the
extension ".ksisig" for each log file (both for fixed-name files as well
as dynafiles). Both files together form a set. So you need to archive
both in order to prove integrity.
- **sig.hashFunction** <Hash Algorithm>
The following hash algorithms are currently supported:
- SHA1
- SHA2-256
- RIPEMD-160
- SHA2-224
- SHA2-384
- SHA2-512
- RIPEMD-256
- SHA3-244
- SHA3-256
- SHA3-384
- SHA3-512
- SM3
- **sig.aggregator.uri** <KSI Aggregator URL>
This provides the URL of the KSI Aggregator service provided by
guardtime and looks like this:
ksi+tcp://[ip/dnsname]:3332
- **sig.aggregator.user** <KSI UserID>
Set your username provided by Guardtime here.
- **sig.aggregator.key** <KSI Key / Password>
Set your key provided by Guardtime here.
- **sig.block.sizeLimit** <nbr-records>
The maximum number of records inside a single signature block. By
default, there is no size limit, so the signature is only written on
file closure. Note that a signature request typically takes between
one and two seconds. So signing to frequently is probably not a good
idea.
- **sig.keepRecordHashes** <on/**off**>
Controls if record hashes are written to the .gtsig file. This
enhances the ability to spot the location of a signature breach, but
costs considerable disk space (65 bytes for each log record for
SHA2-512 hashes, for example).
- **sig.keepTreeHashes** <on/**off**>
Controls if tree (intermediate) hashes are written to the .gtsig
file. This enhances the ability to spot the location of a signature
breach, but costs considerable disk space (a bit mire than the amount
sig.keepRecordHashes requries). Note that both Tree and Record hashes
can be kept inside the signature file.
**See Also**
**Caveats/Known Bugs:**
- currently none known
**Samples:**
This writes a log file with it's associated signature file. Default
parameters are used.
::
action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/somelog" sig.provider="ksi")
In the next sample, we use the more secure SHA2-512 hash function, sign
every 10,000 records and Tree and Record hashes are kept.
::
action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/somelog" sig.provider="ksi"
sig.hashfunction="SHA2-512" sig.block.sizelimit="10000"
sig.keepTreeHashes="on" sig.keepRecordHashes="on")
