Queryable Encryption with equality queries is generally available (GA) in MongoDB 7.0. If you are starting out with Queryable Encryption, upgrade MongoDB to version 7.0 with compatible drivers. Data encrypted using the QE Public Preview is incompatible with the GA. For more information, see the MongoDB 7.0 compatibility notes.

Overview

This guide shows you how to encrypt a document with automatic Queryable Encryption and a MongoDB driver.

After completing this guide, you should have the following knowledge and software:

Knowledge of the steps to configure a driver to encrypt fields in a document.
A working, but not production-ready, client application that utilizes automatic Queryable Encryption.

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.

Before You Get Started

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

Procedure

Create a Customer Master Key

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

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

try {
  fs.writeFileSync("./master-key.txt", crypto.randomBytes(96));
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

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.

Tip

See: Complete Code

To view the complete code for making a Customer Master Key, see our Github repository.

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

Read the Customer Master Key and Specify KMS Provider Settings

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:

const provider = "local";
const path = "./master-key.txt";
// WARNING: Do not use a local key file in a production application
const localMasterKey = fs.readFileSync(path);
const kmsProviders = {
  local: {
    key: localMasterKey,
  },
};

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}}

    if (fis.read(localMasterKeyRead) < 96)
        throw new Exception("Expected to read 96 bytes from file");
}

    key: localMasterKey,
  },
};

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.

Create Your Encrypted Collection

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

const encryptedFieldsMap = {

    fields: [
      {
        keyId: dek1,
        path: "patientId",

        queries: { queryType: "equality" },
      },
      {
        keyId: dek2,
        path: "medications",
        bsonType: "array",
      },
      {
        keyId: dek3,
        path: "patientRecord.ssn",
        bsonType: "string",

Tip

See: Complete Code

To view the complete code for making a Data Encryption Key, see our Github repository.

Configure your MongoClient for Encrypted Reads and Writes

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 the Local Customer Master Key

Specify the KMS provider and specify your Customer Master Key inline:

const provider = "local";
const path = "./master-key.txt";
const localMasterKey = fs.readFileSync(path);
const kmsProviders = {
  local: {
    key: localMasterKey,
  },
};

var kmsProviders = new Dictionary<string, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object>>();
const string provider = "local";
const string localMasterKeyPath = "master-key.txt";
var localMasterKeyBase64Read = File.ReadAllText(localMasterKeyPath);
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)
}
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>>();
kmsProviders.put(kmsProvider, keyMap);

const fs = require("fs");
const provider = "local";
const path = "./master-key.txt";
// WARNING: Do not use a local key file in a production application
const localMasterKey = fs.readFileSync(path);
const kmsProviders = {
  local: {
    key: localMasterKey,
  },
};

provider = "local"
path = "./master-key.txt"
# WARNING: Do not use a local key file in a production application
with open(path, "rb") as f:
    local_master_key = f.read()
kms_providers = {
    "local": {
        "key": local_master_key  # local_master_key variable from the previous step
    },
}

Create an Encrypted Fields Map For Your Collection

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.",

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:
