This guide shows you how to encrypt a document with explicit encryption and a MongoDB driver.

After completing this guide, you should be able to configure a driver to encrypt fields in a document using explicit encryption. With this knowledge, you should be able to create a client application that uses explicit encryption. with automatic decryption.

Important

Do Not Use this Application In Production

Since this example application stores an encryption key on your application's filesystem, you risk unauthorized access to the key or loss of the key to decrypt your data.

To view a tutorial that demonstrates how to create a Queryable Encryption enabled application that uses a remote Key Management System, see Tutorials.

To complete and run the code in this guide, you need to set up your development environment as shown in the Installation Requirements page.

Tip

See: Full Application

To see the complete code for the application you make in this guide, select the tab corresponding to your preferred MongoDB driver and follow the provided link:

1

You must create a Customer Master Key (CMK) to perform Queryable Encryption.

Create a 96-byte Customer Master Key and save it to the file master-key.txt:

using (var randomNumberGenerator = System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator.Create())
{
var bytes = new byte[96];
randomNumberGenerator.GetBytes(bytes);
var localMasterKeyBase64Write = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);
File.WriteAllText("master-key.txt", localMasterKeyBase64Write);
}
func localMasterKey() []byte {
key := make([]byte, 96)
if _, err := rand.Read(key); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Unable to create a random 96 byte data key: %v", err)
}
if err := ioutil.WriteFile("master-key.txt", key, 0644); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Unable to write key to file: %v", err)
}
return key
}
byte[] localMasterKeyWrite = new byte[96];
new SecureRandom().nextBytes(localMasterKeyWrite);
try (FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream("master-key.txt")) {
stream.write(localMasterKeyWrite);
}
const fs = require("fs");
const crypto = require("crypto");
try {
fs.writeFileSync("master-key.txt", crypto.randomBytes(96));
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
path = "master-key.txt"
file_bytes = os.urandom(96)
with open(path, "wb") as f:
f.write(file_bytes)

Warning

Do Not Use a Local Key File in Production

A local key file in your filesystem is insecure and is not recommended for production. Instead, you should store your Customer Master Keys in a remote Key Management System (KMS).

To learn how to use a remote KMS in your Queryable Encryption implementation, see the Tutorials guide.

Note

Generate a CMK from the Command Line

Use the following command to generate a CMK from a Unix shell or PowerShell:

  • Unix shell: echo $(head -c 96 /dev/urandom | base64 | tr -d '\n')

  • PowerShell: $r=[byte[]]::new(64);$g=[System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator]::Create();$g.GetBytes($r);[Convert]::ToBase64String($r)

Save the output of the preceding command to a file named master-key.txt.

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

Select the tab corresponding to your preferred MongoDB driver:

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
uri := "<Your MongoDB URI>"
keyVaultClient, err := mongo.Connect(context.TODO(), options.Client().ApplyURI(uri))
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("Connect error for regular client: %v", err)

}),
}
// Drop the Key Vault Collection in case you created this collection
// in a previous run of this application.
if err = keyVaultClient.Database(keyVaultDb).Collection(keyVaultColl).Drop(context.TODO()); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Collection.Drop error: %v", err)
}

IndexOptions indexOpts = new IndexOptions().partialFilterExpression(new BsonDocument("keyAltNames", new BsonDocument("$exists", new BsonBoolean(true) ))).unique(true);
keyVaultCollection.createIndex(new BsonDocument("keyAltNames", new BsonInt32(1)), indexOpts);
keyVaultClient.close();
const uri = "<Your Connection String>";
const keyVaultClient = new MongoClient(uri);
await keyVaultClient.connect();
const keyVaultDB = keyVaultClient.db(keyVaultDatabase);
// Drop the Key Vault Collection in case you created this collection
// in a previous run of this application.
await keyVaultDB.dropDatabase();
const keyVaultColl = keyVaultDB.collection(keyVaultCollection);
await keyVaultColl.createIndex(

Retrieve the contents of the Customer Master Key file that you generated in the Create a Customer Master Key step of this guide.

Pass the CMK value to your KMS provider settings. The client uses these settings to discover the CMK. Set the provider name to local to inform the driver you are using a Local Key Provider.

Select the tab corresponding to your preferred MongoDB driver:

var kmsProviders = new Dictionary<string, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object>>();
const string provider = "local";
var localMasterKeyBase64Read = File.ReadAllText("master-key.txt");
var localMasterKeyBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(localMasterKeyBase64Read);
var localOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"key", localMasterKeyBytes}
};
kmsProviders.Add(provider, localOptions);
key, err := ioutil.ReadFile("master-key.txt")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Could not read the key from master-key.txt: %v", err)
}
provider := "local"
kmsProviders := map[string]map[string]interface{}{"local": {"key": key}}
String kmsProvider = "local";
String path = "master-key.txt";
byte[] localMasterKeyRead = new byte[96];
try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(path)) {
if (fis.read(localMasterKeyRead) < 96)
throw new Exception("Expected to read 96 bytes from file");
}
Map<String, Object> keyMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
keyMap.put("key", localMasterKeyRead);
Map<String, Map<String, Object>> kmsProviders = new HashMap<String, Map<String, Object>>();

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.

var clientEncryptionOptions = new ClientEncryptionOptions(
keyVaultClient,
keyVaultNamespace,
kmsProviders: kmsProviders

});
await encryptedClient.connect();
encrypted_client = MongoClient(connection_string, auto_encryption_opts=opts)
db = encrypted_client.medicalRecords
coll = db.patients

Note

Automatic Decryption

We use a MongoClient instance with automatic encryption enabled to perform automatic decryption.

To learn more about explicit encryption with automatic decryption, see the Fundamentals section.

Instantiate a ClientEncryption object as follows:

var clientEncryptionOptions = new ClientEncryptionOptions(
keyVaultClient: regularClient,
keyVaultNamespace: keyVaultNamespace,
kmsProviders: kmsProviders
);
var clientEncryption = new ClientEncryption(clientEncryptionOptions);
clientEncryptionOpts := options.ClientEncryption().SetKeyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace).SetKmsProviders(kmsProviders)
clientEnc, err := mongo.NewClientEncryption(regularClient, clientEncryptionOpts)
if err != nil {
panic(fmt.Errorf("NewClientEncryption error %v", err))
}
defer func() {
_ = clientEnc.Close(context.TODO())
}()
ClientEncryptionSettings clientEncryptionSettings = ClientEncryptionSettings.builder()
.keyVaultMongoClientSettings(MongoClientSettings.builder()
.applyConnectionString(new ConnectionString(connectionString))
.build())
.keyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace)
.kmsProviders(kmsProviders)
.build();
ClientEncryption clientEncryption = ClientEncryptions.create(clientEncryptionSettings);
const encryption = new ClientEncryption(unencryptedClient, {
keyVaultNamespace,
kmsProviders,
});
client_encryption = ClientEncryption(
kms_providers, key_vault_namespace, client, client.codec_options
)

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

var patientId = 12345678;
var medications = new BsonArray
{
new BsonString("Atorvastatin"),
new BsonString("Levothyroxine")
};
var indexedEncrypted = clientEncryption.Encrypt(
patientId,
new EncryptOptions(algorithm: "Indexed", keyId: dataKeyId1, contentionFactor: 1),
CancellationToken.None);
var unindexedEncrypted = clientEncryption.Encrypt(
medications,
new EncryptOptions(algorithm: "Unindexed", keyId: dataKeyId2),
CancellationToken.None);
collection.InsertOne(new BsonDocument { { "firstName", "Jon" }, { "patientId", indexedEncrypted }, { "medications", unindexedEncrypted } });
patientIdRawValueType, patientIdRawValueData, err := bson.MarshalValue(12345678)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
patientIdRawValue := bson.RawValue{Type: patientIdRawValueType, Value: patientIdRawValueData}
patientIdEncryptionOpts := options.Encrypt().
SetAlgorithm("Indexed").
SetKeyID(dataKeyID1).
SetContentionFactor(1)
patientIdEncryptedField, err := clientEnc.Encrypt(
context.TODO(),
patientIdRawValue,
patientIdEncryptionOpts)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
medicationsRawValueType, medicationsRawValueData, err := bson.MarshalValue([]string{"Atorvastatin", "Levothyroxine"})
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
medicationsRawValue := bson.RawValue{Type: medicationsRawValueType, Value: medicationsRawValueData}
medicationsEncryptionOpts := options.Encrypt().
SetAlgorithm("Unindexed").
SetKeyID(dataKeyID2)
medicationsEncryptedField, err := clientEnc.Encrypt(
context.TODO(),
medicationsRawValue,
medicationsEncryptionOpts)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
_, err = coll.InsertOne(
context.TODO(),
bson.D{{"firstName", "Jon"}, {"patientId", patientIdEncryptedField}, {"medications", medicationsEncryptedField}})
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
BsonInt32 patientId = new BsonInt32(12345678);
ArrayList<BsonString> medications = new ArrayList<>();
medications.add(new BsonString("Atorvastatin"));
medications.add(new BsonString("Levothyroxine"));
BsonBinary indexedEncrypted = clientEncryption.encrypt(patientId, new EncryptOptions("Indexed").keyId(dataKeyId1).contentionFactor(1L));
BsonBinary unindexedEncrypted = clientEncryption.encrypt(new BsonArray(medications), new EncryptOptions("Unindexed").keyId(dataKeyId2));
MongoCollection<BsonDocument> collection = mongoClientSecure.getDatabase(db).getCollection(coll, BsonDocument.class);
collection.insertOne(new BsonDocument("firstName", new BsonString("Jon")).append("patientId", indexedEncrypted).append("medications", unindexedEncrypted));
const patientId = 12345678;
const medications = ["Atorvastatin", "Levothyroxine"];
const indexedInsertPayload = await encryption.encrypt(patientId, {
algorithm: "Indexed",
keyId: dek1._id,
contentionFactor: 1,
});
const unindexedInsertPayload = await encryption.encrypt(medications, {
algorithm: "Unindexed",
keyId: dek2._id,
});
const encryptedColl = encryptedClient
.db(secretDB)
.collection(secretCollection);
await encryptedColl.insertOne({
firstName: "Jon",
patientId: indexedInsertPayload,
medications: unindexedInsertPayload,
});
patientId = 12345678
medications = ["Atorvastatin", "Levothyroxine"]
indexed_insert_payload = client_encryption.encrypt(
patientId, Algorithm.INDEXED, data_key_id_1, contention_factor=1
)
unindexed_insert_payload = client_encryption.encrypt(
medications, Algorithm.UNINDEXED, data_key_id_2
)
coll.insert_one(
{
"firstName": "Jon",
"patientId": indexed_insert_payload,
"medications": unindexed_insert_payload,
}
)

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

{
"_id": {
"$oid": "6303e36053cc7ec2e6a630bd"
},
"firstName": "Jon",
"patientId": {
"$binary": {

Retrieve the document with encrypted fields you inserted in the Insert a Document with Encrypted Fields step of this guide through a query on an encrypted field:

var findPayload = clientEncryption.Encrypt(
patientId,
new EncryptOptions(algorithm: "Indexed", keyId: dataKeyId1, queryType: "equality", contentionFactor: 1),
CancellationToken.None);
var doc = collection.Find(new BsonDocument { { "patientId", findPayload } }).Single();
Console.WriteLine($"Encrypted document: {doc}");
findPayloadRawValueType, findPayloadRawValueData, err := bson.MarshalValue(12345678)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
findPayloadRawValue := bson.RawValue{Type: findPayloadRawValueType, Value: findPayloadRawValueData}
findPayloadEncryptionOpts := options.Encrypt().
SetAlgorithm("Indexed").
SetKeyID(dataKeyID1).
SetQueryType("equality").
SetContentionFactor(1)
findPayloadEncryptedField, err := clientEnc.Encrypt(
context.TODO(),
findPayloadRawValue,
findPayloadEncryptionOpts)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
var resultSecure bson.M
coll.FindOne(context.TODO(), bson.D{{"firstName", findPayloadEncryptedField}}).Decode(&resultSecure)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
outputSecure, err := json.MarshalIndent(resultSecure, "", " ")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("\nFound document searching on explicitly encrypted field:\n%s\n", outputSecure)
BsonBinary findPayloadEncrypted = clientEncryption.encrypt(patientId, new EncryptOptions("Indexed").keyId(dataKeyId1).queryType("equality").contentionFactor(1L));
BsonDocument result = collection.find(eq("patientId", findPayloadEncrypted)).first();
System.out.println("Finding a document with manually encrypted field: " + result.toJson());
const findPayload = await encryption.encrypt(patientId, {
algorithm: "Indexed",
keyId: dek1._id,
queryType: "equality",
contentionFactor: 1,
});
console.log("Finding a document with manually encrypted field:");
find_payload = client_encryption.encrypt(
patientId,
Algorithm.INDEXED,
data_key_id_1,
query_type=QueryType.EQUALITY,
contention_factor=1,
)
doc = coll.find_one({"encryptedIndexed": find_payload})
print("\nReturned document:\n")
pprint.pprint(doc)

The output of the preceding code snippet should contain the following document:

{
"__safeContent__": [
{
"Subtype": 0,
"Data": "LfaIuWm9o30MIGrK7GGUoStJMSNOjRgbxy5q2TPiDes="
}
],
"_id": "6303a770857952ca5e363fd2",
"firstName": "Jon",
"medications": ["Atorvastatin", "Levothyroxine"],
"patientId": 12345678
}
