Key Version

You will need them to construct your dataKeyOpts object later in this tutorial.

Grant Permissions

Grant your client application wrap and unwrap permissions to the key.

Create the Application

Create a Unique Index on your Key Vault collection

Create a unique index on the keyAltNames field in your encryption.__keyVault namespace.

Select the tab corresponding to your preferred MongoDB driver:

const uri = "<Your Connection String>";
const keyVaultClient = Mongo(uri);
const keyVaultDB = keyVaultClient.getDB(keyVaultDatabase);
// Drop the Key Vault Collection in case you created this collection
// in a previous run of this application.
keyVaultDB.dropDatabase();
keyVaultDB.createCollection(keyVaultCollection);
const keyVaultColl = keyVaultDB.getCollection(keyVaultCollection);
keyVaultColl.createIndex(
  { keyAltNames: 1 },
  {
    unique: true,
    partialFilterExpression: { keyAltNames: { $exists: true } },
  }
);

var connectionString = "<Your MongoDB URI>";
var keyVaultNamespace = CollectionNamespace.FromFullName("encryption.__keyVault");
var keyVaultClient = new MongoClient(connectionString);
var indexOptions = new CreateIndexOptions<BsonDocument>
{
    Unique = true,
    PartialFilterExpression = new BsonDocument
        {{"keyAltNames", new BsonDocument {{"$exists", new BsonBoolean(true)}}}}
};
var builder = Builders<BsonDocument>.IndexKeys;
var indexKeysDocument = builder.Ascending("keyAltNames");
var indexModel = new CreateIndexModel<BsonDocument>(indexKeysDocument, indexOptions);
var keyVaultDatabase = keyVaultClient.GetDatabase(keyVaultNamespace.DatabaseNamespace.DatabaseName);
// Drop the Key Vault Collection in case you created this collection
// in a previous run of this application.
keyVaultDatabase.DropCollection(keyVaultNamespace.CollectionName);
var keyVaultCollection = keyVaultDatabase.GetCollection<BsonDocument>(keyVaultNamespace.CollectionName);
keyVaultCollection.Indexes.CreateOne(indexModel);

Important

When building or running the Golang code in this guide using go build or go run, always include the cse build constraint to enable Queryable Encryption. See the following shell command for an example of including the build constraint:

go run -tags cse make-data-key.go

Create your Data Encryption Keys and Encrypted Collection

Add your Azure Key Vault Credentials

Add the service account credentials to your Queryable Encryption enabled client code.

Select the tab corresponding to your preferred MongoDB driver:

const provider = "azure";
const kmsProviders = {
  azure: {
    tenantId: "<Your Tenant ID>",
    clientId: "<Your Client ID>",
    clientSecret: "<Your Client Secret>",
  },
};

var kmsProviders = new Dictionary<string, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object>>();
const string provider = "azure";
var azureKmsOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
   { "tenantId", "<Your Azure Tenant ID>" },
   { "clientId", "<Your Azure Client ID>" },
   { "clientSecret", "<Your Azure Client Secret>" },
};
kmsProviders.Add(provider, azureKmsOptions);

provider := "azure"
kmsProviders := map[string]map[string]interface{}{
	provider: {
		"tenantId":     "<Your Azure Tenant ID>",
		"clientId":     "<Your Azure Client ID>",
		"clientSecret": "<Your Azure Client Secret>",
	},
}

String kmsProvider = "azure";
Map<String, Map<String, Object>> kmsProviders = new HashMap<String, Map<String, Object>>();
Map<String, Object> providerDetails = new HashMap<>();
providerDetails.put("tenantId", "<Azure account organization>");
providerDetails.put("clientId", "<Azure client ID>");
providerDetails.put("clientSecret", "<Azure client secret>");
kmsProviders.put(kmsProvider, providerDetails);

Tip

Azure Virtual Machine Managed Identities

If your client runs on an Azure Virtual Machine (VM), you can allow the VM to use its Managed Identity to authenticate to your key vault.

To allow the Azure VM to automatically provide your credentials, assign an empty map instead of one that contains your Azure credentials as shown in the following code:

String kmsProvider = "azure";
Map<String, Map<String, Object>> kmsProviders = new HashMap<String, Map<String, Object>>();
Map<String, Object> providerDetails = new HashMap<>();
kmsProviders.put(kmsProvider, providerDetails);

const provider = "azure";
const kmsProviders = {
  azure: {
    tenantId: "<Your Tenant ID>",
    clientId: "<Your Client ID>",
    clientSecret: "<Your Client Secret>",
  },
};

provider = "azure"
kms_providers = {
    provider: {
        "tenantId": "<Azure account organization>",
        "clientId": "<Azure client ID>",
        "clientSecret": "<Azure client secret>",
    }
}

Add Your Key Information

Update the following code to specify your Customer Master Key:

Tip

You recorded your Customer Master Key's ARN and Region in the Create a Customer Master Key step of this guide.

const masterKey = {
  keyVaultEndpoint: "<Your Key Vault Endpoint>",
  keyName: "<Your Key Name>",
};

DataKeyOptions GetDataKeyOptions(List<string> altNames)
{
    kmsProviders.Add(provider, azureKmsOptions);
    var dataKeyOptions = new DataKeyOptions(
       alternateKeyNames: altNames,
       masterKey: new BsonDocument
       {
           { "keyName", "<Your Azure Key Name>" },
           { "keyVaultEndpoint", "<Your Azure Key Vault Endpoint>" },
       });
    return dataKeyOptions;
}

masterKey := map[string]interface{}{
	"keyVaultEndpoint": "<Your Azure Key Vault Endpoint>",
	"keyName":          "<Your Azure Key Name>",
}

BsonDocument masterKeyProperties = new BsonDocument();
masterKeyProperties.put("provider", new BsonString(kmsProvider));
masterKeyProperties.put("keyName", new BsonString("<Azure key name>"));
masterKeyProperties.put("keyVaultEndpoint", new BsonString("<Azure key vault endpoint"));

const masterKey = {
  keyVaultEndpoint: "<Your Key Vault Endpoint>",
  keyName: "<Your Key Name>",
};

master_key = {
    "keyName": "<Azure key name>",
    "keyVersion": "<Azure key version>",
    "keyVaultEndpoint": "<Azure key vault endpoint/key identifier>",
}

Create your Data Encryption Keys

Construct a client with your MongoDB connection string and Key Vault collection namespace, and create the Data Encryption Keys:

Note

Key Vault Collection Namespace Permissions

The Key Vault collection is in the encryption.__keyVault namespace. Ensure that the database user your application uses to connect to MongoDB has ReadWrite permissions on this namespace.

const autoEncryptionOpts = {
  keyVaultNamespace: keyVaultNamespace,
  kmsProviders: kmsProviders,
};
// start-create-dek
const encClient = Mongo(uri, autoEncryptionOpts);
const keyVault = encClient.getKeyVault();
const dek1 = keyVault.createKey(provider, {
  masterKey: masterKey,
  keyAltNames: ["dataKey1"],
});
const dek2 = keyVault.createKey(provider, {
  masterKey: masterKey,
  keyAltNames: ["dataKey2"],
});
const dek3 = keyVault.createKey(provider, {
  masterKey: masterKey,
  keyAltNames: ["dataKey3"],
});
const dek4 = keyVault.createKey(provider, {
  masterKey: masterKey,
  keyAltNames: ["dataKey4"],
});

    keyVaultClient,
    keyVaultNamespace,

    );

var dataKeyOptions3 = GetDataKeyOptions(new List<string> { "dataKey3" });
var dataKeyOptions4 = GetDataKeyOptions(new List<string> { "dataKey4" });
BsonBinaryData CreateKeyGetID(DataKeyOptions options)
{
    var dateKeyGuid = clientEncryption.CreateDataKey(provider, options, CancellationToken.None);
    return new BsonBinaryData(dateKeyGuid, GuidRepresentation.Standard);
}

Create Your Encrypted Collection

Use a Queryable Encryption enabled MongoClient intance to specify what fields you must encrypt and create your encrypted collection:

const encryptedFieldsMap = {
  [`${secretDB}.${secretCollection}`]: {
    fields: [
      {
        keyId: dek1,
        path: "patientId",
        bsonType: "int",
        queries: { queryType: "equality" },
      },
      {
        keyId: dek2,
        path: "medications",
        bsonType: "array",
      },
      {
        keyId: dek3,
        path: "patientRecord.ssn",
        bsonType: "string",

Tip

Follow the remaining steps in this tutorial in a separate file from the one created in the previous steps.

To view the complete code for this file, see the Queryable Encryption sample application repository.

Specify the Key Vault Collection Namespace

Specify encryption.__keyVault as the Key Vault collection namespace.

const keyVaultDB = "encryption";
const keyVaultColl = "__keyVault";
const keyVaultNamespace = `${keyVaultDB}.${keyVaultColl}`;
const secretDB = "medicalRecords";
const secretCollection = "patients";

var keyVaultNamespace = CollectionNamespace.FromFullName("encryption.__keyVault");

keyVaultColl := "__keyVault"
keyVaultDb := "encryption"
keyVaultNamespace := keyVaultDb + "." + keyVaultColl

String keyVaultDb = "encryption";
String keyVaultColl = "__keyVault";
String keyVaultNamespace = keyVaultDb + "." + keyVaultColl;

const eDB = "encryption";
const eKV = "__keyVault";
const keyVaultNamespace = `${eDB}.${eKV}`;

key_vault_db = "encryption"
key_vault_coll = "__keyVault"
key_vault_namespace = "encryption.__keyVault"

Specify your Azure Credentials

Specify the azure KMS provider and your Azure credentials:

const kmsProviders = {
  azure: {
    tenantId: "<Your Tenant ID>",
    clientId: "<Your Client ID>",
    clientSecret: "<Your Client Secret>",
  },
};

var kmsProviders = new Dictionary<string, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object>>();
const string provider = "azure";
var azureKmsOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
   { "tenantId", "<Your Azure Tenant ID>" },
   { "clientId", "<Your Azure Client ID>" },
   { "clientSecret", "<Your Azure Client Secret>" },
};
kmsProviders.Add(provider, azureKmsOptions);

kmsProviders := map[string]map[string]interface{}{
	"azure": {
		"tenantId":     "<Your Azure Tenant ID>",
		"clientId":     "<Your Azure Client ID>",
		"clientSecret": "<Your Azure Client Secret>",
	},
}

String kmsProvider = "azure";
Map<String, Map<String, Object>> kmsProviders = new HashMap<String, Map<String, Object>>();
Map<String, Object> providerDetails = new HashMap<>();
providerDetails.put("tenantId", "<Azure account organization>");
providerDetails.put("clientId", "<Azure client ID>");
providerDetails.put("clientSecret", "<Azure client secret>");
kmsProviders.put(kmsProvider, providerDetails);

Tip

Azure Virtual Machine Managed Identities

If your client runs on an Azure Virtual Machine (VM), you can allow the VM to use its Managed Identity to authenticate to your key vault.

To allow the Azure VM to automatically provide your credentials, assign an empty map instead of one that contains your Azure credentials as shown in the following code:

String kmsProvider = "azure";
Map<String, Map<String, Object>> kmsProviders = new HashMap<String, Map<String, Object>>();
Map<String, Object> providerDetails = new HashMap<>();
kmsProviders.put(kmsProvider, providerDetails);

const kmsProviders = {
  azure: {
    tenantId: "<Your Tenant ID>",
    clientId: "<Your Client ID>",
    clientSecret: "<Your Client Secret>",
  },
};

provider = "azure"
kms_providers = {
    provider: {
        "tenantId": "<Azure account organization>",
        "clientId": "<Azure client ID>",
        "clientSecret": "<Azure client secret>",
    }
}

Create an Encrypted Fields Map For Your Collection

const uri = "<Your Connection String>";
const unencryptedClient = Mongo(uri);
const autoEncryptionOpts = { kmsProviders, keyVaultNamespace };
const encClient = Mongo(uri, autoEncryptionOpts);
const keyVault = encClient.getKeyVault();
const keyVaultClient = unencryptedClient
  .getDB(keyVaultDB)
  .getCollection(keyVaultColl);
const dek1 = keyVaultClient.findOne({ keyAltNames: "dataKey1" });
const dek2 = keyVaultClient.findOne({ keyAltNames: "dataKey2" });
const dek3 = keyVaultClient.findOne({ keyAltNames: "dataKey3" });
const dek4 = keyVaultClient.findOne({ keyAltNames: "dataKey4" });
const secretDB = "medicalRecords";
const secretColl = "patients";
const encryptedFieldsMap = {
  [`${secretDB}.${secretColl}`]: {
    fields: [
      {
        keyId: dek1._id,
        path: "patientId",
        bsonType: "int",
        queries: { queryType: "equality" },
      },
      {
        keyId: dek2._id,
        path: "medications",
        bsonType: "array",
      },
      {
        keyId: dek3._id,
        path: "patientRecord.ssn",
        bsonType: "string",
        queries: { queryType: "equality" },
      },
      {
        keyId: dek4._id,
        path: "patientRecord.billing",
        bsonType: "object",
      },
    ],

Create the MongoClient

Instantiate a MongoDB client object with the following automatic encryption settings that use the variables declared in the previous steps:

const autoEncryptionOptions = {
  keyVaultNamespace: keyVaultNamespace,
  kmsProviders: kmsProviders,
  bypassQueryAnalysis: false,
  encryptedFieldsMap: encryptedFieldsMap,
};
const encryptedClient = Mongo(uri, autoEncryptionOptions);
const encryptedColl = encryptedClient
  .getDB(secretDB)
  .getCollection(secretColl);
const unencryptedColl = unencryptedClient
  .getDB(secretDB)
  .getCollection(secretColl);

var clientSettings = MongoClientSettings.FromConnectionString(connectionString);
var autoEncryptionOptions = new AutoEncryptionOptions(
    keyVaultNamespace,
    kmsProviders,
    encryptedFieldsMap: encryptedFieldsMap,
    extraOptions: extraOptions
    );
clientSettings.AutoEncryptionOptions = autoEncryptionOptions;
var secureClient = new MongoClient(clientSettings);

autoEncryptionOpts := options.AutoEncryption().
	SetKmsProviders(kmsProviders).
	SetKeyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace).
	SetEncryptedFieldsMap(encryptedFieldsMap).
	SetExtraOptions(extraOptions)
secureClient, err := mongo.Connect(context.TODO(), options.Client().ApplyURI(uri).SetAutoEncryptionOptions(autoEncryptionOpts))
if err != nil {
	return fmt.Errorf("Connect error for encrypted client: %v", err)
}
defer func() {
	_ = secureClient.Disconnect(context.TODO())
}()

MongoClientSettings clientSettings = MongoClientSettings.builder()
        .applyConnectionString(new ConnectionString(connectionString))
        .autoEncryptionSettings(AutoEncryptionSettings.builder()
                .keyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace)
                .kmsProviders(kmsProviders)
                .encryptedFieldsMap(encryptedFieldsMap)
                .extraOptions(extraOptions)
                .build())
        .build();
MongoClient mongoClientSecure = MongoClients.create(clientSettings);

const encryptedClient = new MongoClient(uri, {
  autoEncryption: {
    keyVaultNamespace: keyVaultNamespace,
    kmsProviders: kmsProviders,
    extraOptions: extraOptions,
    encryptedFieldsMap: encryptedFieldsMap,
  },
});
await encryptedClient.connect();

secure_client = MongoClient(connection_string, auto_encryption_opts=auto_encryption)

Insert a Document with Encrypted Fields

Use your Queryable Encryption enabled MongoClient instance to insert a document with encrypted fields into the medicalRecords.patients namespace using the following code snippet:

encryptedColl.insertOne({
  firstName: "Jon",
  lastName: "Doe",
  patientId: 12345678,
  address: "157 Electric Ave.",
  patientRecord: {
    ssn: "987-65-4320",
    billing: {
      type: "Visa",
      number: "4111111111111111",
    },
  },
  medications: ["Atorvastatin", "Levothyroxine"],
});

var sampleDocument = new BsonDocument
{
    {"firstName", "Jon"},
    {"lastName", "Doe"},
    {"patientId", 12345678},
    {"address", "157 Electric Ave."},
    {
        "medications", new BsonArray
        {
            new BsonString("Atorvastatin"),
            new BsonString("Levothyroxine")
        }
    },
    {
        "patientRecord", new BsonDocument
        {
            {"ssn", new BsonString("987-65-4320")},
            {
                "billing", new BsonDocument
                {
                    {"type", new BsonString("Visa")},
                    {"number", "4111111111111111"}
                }
            }
        }
    }
};
var secureCollection = secureClient.GetDatabase(encryptedCollectionNamespace.DatabaseNamespace.DatabaseName)
    .GetCollection<BsonDocument>(encryptedCollectionNamespace.CollectionName);
secureCollection.InsertOne(sampleDocument);

test_patient := map[string]interface{}{
	"firstName":   "Jon",
	"lastName":    "Doe",
	"patientId":   12345678,
	"address":     "157 Electric Ave.",
	"medications": []string{"Atorvastatin", "Levothyroxine"},
	"patientRecord": map[string]interface{}{
		"ssn": "987-65-4320",
		"billing": map[string]interface{}{
			"type":   "Visa",
			"number": "4111111111111111",
		},
	},
}
if _, err := secureClient.Database(dbName).Collection(collName).InsertOne(context.TODO(), test_patient); err != nil {
	return fmt.Errorf("InsertOne error: %v", err)
}

ArrayList<String> medications = new ArrayList<>();
medications.add("Atorvastatin");
medications.add("Levothyroxine");
Document patientRecord = new Document()
        .append("ssn", "987-65-4320")
        .append("billing", new Document().append("type", "Visa").append("number", "4111111111111111"));
Document patient = new Document()
        .append("firstName", "Jon")
        .append("lastName", "Doe")
        .append("patientId", 12345678)
        .append("address", "AB+")
        .append("medications", medications)
        .append("patientRecord", patientRecord);
mongoClientSecure.getDatabase(encryptedDbName).getCollection(encryptedCollName).insertOne(patient);

const encryptedColl = encryptedClient
  .db(secretDB)
  .collection(secretCollection);
await encryptedColl.insertOne({
  firstName: "Jon",
  lastName: "Doe",
  patientId: 12345678,
  address: "157 Electric Ave.",
  patientRecord: {
    ssn: "987-65-4320",
    billing: {
      type: "Visa",
      number: "4111111111111111",
    },
  },
  medications: ["Atorvastatin", "Levothyroxine"],
});

Note

Rather than creating a raw BSON document, you can pass a struct with bson tags directly to the driver for encoding.

encrypted_coll = secure_client[encrypted_db_name][encrypted_coll_name]
encrypted_coll.insert_one(
    {
        "firstName": "Jon",
        "lastName": "Doe",
        "patientId": 12345678,
        "address": "157 Electric Ave.",
        "patientRecord": {
            "ssn": "987-65-4320",
            "billing": {
                "type": "Visa",
                "number": "4111111111111111",
            },
        },
        "medications": ["Atorvastatin", "Levothyroxine"],
    }
)

When you insert a document, your Queryable Encryption enabled client encrypts the fields of your document such that it resembles the following:

{
  "_id": { "$oid": "<_id value>" },
  "firstName": "Jon",
  "lastName": "Doe",
  "patientId": {
    "$binary": {
      "base64": "<ciphertext>",
      "subType": "06"
    }
  },
  "address": "157 Electric Ave.",
  "patientRecord": {
    "ssn": {
      "$binary": {
        "base64": "<ciphertext>",
        "subType": "06"
      }
    },
    "billing": {
      "$binary": {
        "base64": "<ciphertext>",
        "subType": "06"
      }
    }
  },
  "medications": {
    "$binary": {
      "base64": "<ciphertext>",
      "subType": "06"
    }
  },
  "__safeContent__": [
    {
      "$binary": {
        "base64": "<ciphertext>",
        "subType": "00"
      }
    },
    {
      "$binary": {
        "base64": "<ciphertext>",
        "subType": "00"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Warning

Do not Modify the safeContent Field

The __safeContent__ field is essential to Queryable Encryption. Do not modify the contents of this field.

Retrieve Your Document with Encrypted Fields

Retrieve the document with encrypted fields you inserted in the Insert a Document with Encrypted Fields step of this guide.

To show the functionality of Queryable Encryption, the following code snippet queries for your document with a client configured for automatic Queryable Encryption as well as a client that is not configured for automatic Queryable Encryption.

console.log("Finding a document with regular (non-encrypted) client.");
console.log(unencryptedColl.findOne({ firstName: /Jon/ }));
console.log(
  "Finding a document with encrypted client, searching on an encrypted field"
);
console.log(encryptedColl.findOne({ "patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320" }));

Console.WriteLine("Finding a document with regular (non-encrypted) client.");
var filter = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Eq("firstName", "Jon");
var regularClientEncryptedCollection = regularClient.GetDatabase(encryptedCollectionNamespace.DatabaseNamespace.DatabaseName)
    .GetCollection<BsonDocument>(encryptedCollectionNamespace.CollectionName);
var regularResult = regularClientEncryptedCollection.Find(filter).First();
Console.WriteLine($"\n{regularResult}\n");
Console.WriteLine("Finding a document with encrypted client, searching on an encrypted field");
var encryptedFieldFilter = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Eq("patientRecord.ssn", "987-65-4320");
var secureResult = secureCollection.Find(encryptedFieldFilter).First();
Console.WriteLine($"\n{secureResult}\n");

fmt.Println("Finding a document with regular (non-encrypted) client.")
var resultRegular bson.M
err = regularClient.Database(dbName).Collection(collName).FindOne(context.TODO(), bson.D{{"firstName", "Jon"}}).Decode(&resultRegular)
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
outputRegular, err := json.MarshalIndent(resultRegular, "", "    ")
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", outputRegular)
fmt.Println("Finding a document with encrypted client, searching on an encrypted field")
var resultSecure bson.M
err = secureClient.Database(dbName).Collection(collName).FindOne(context.TODO(), bson.D{bson.E{"patientRecord.ssn", "987-65-4320"}}).Decode(&resultSecure)
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
outputSecure, err := json.MarshalIndent(resultSecure, "", "    ")
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", outputSecure)

System.out.println("Finding a document with regular (non-encrypted) client.");
Document docRegular = regularClient.getDatabase(encryptedDbName).getCollection(encryptedCollName).find(eq("firstName", "Jon")).first();
System.out.println(docRegular.toJson());
System.out.println("Finding a document with encrypted client, searching on an encrypted field");
Document docSecure = mongoClientSecure.getDatabase(encryptedDbName).getCollection(encryptedCollName).find(eq("patientRecord.ssn", "987-65-4320")).first();
System.out.println(docSecure.toJson());

console.log("Finding a document with regular (non-encrypted) client.");
console.log(await unencryptedColl.findOne({ firstName: /Jon/ }));
console.log(
  "Finding a document with encrypted client, searching on an encrypted field"
);
console.log(
  await encryptedColl.findOne({ "patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320" })
);

print("Finding a document with regular (non-encrypted) client.")
pprint.pprint(
    unencryptedClient[encrypted_db_name][encrypted_coll_name].find_one(
        {"firstName": "Jon"}
    )
)
print("Finding a document with encrypted client, searching on an encrypted field")
pprint.pprint(encrypted_coll.find_one({"patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320"}))

The output of the preceding code snippet should look like this:
