Overview

This guide shows you how to build an application that implements the MongoDB Queryable Encryption feature to automatically encrypt and decrypt document fields and use Azure Key Vault KMS for key management.

After you complete the steps in this guide, you should have:

A Customer Master Key managed by Azure Key Vault
A working client application that inserts documents with encrypted fields using your Customer Master Key

Tip

Customer Master Keys

To learn more about the Customer Master Key, read the Keys and Key Vaults documentation.

Add your Customer Master Key Credentials

Create a variable containing your Customer Master Key credentials with the following structure. Use the Customer Master Key details you recorded in the Create a Customer Master Key step of this tutorial.

customerMasterKeyCredentials = {
  keyVaultEndpoint: process.env["AZURE_KEY_VAULT_ENDPOINT"], // Your Azure Key Vault Endpoint

    "keyName": os.environ['AZURE_KEY_NAME'], # Your Azure key name
    "keyVaultEndpoint": os.environ['AZURE_KEY_VAULT_ENDPOINT'] # Your Azure key vault endpoint
}

Set Your Automatic Encryption Options

Create an autoEncryptionOptions object that contains the following options:

The namespace of your Key Vault collection
The kmsProviderCredentials object, which contains your Azure KMS credentials

const autoEncryptionOptions = {
  keyVaultNamespace: keyVaultNamespace,
  kmsProviders: kmsProviderCredentials,
};

Create an AutoEncryptionOptions object that contains the following options:

The namespace of your Key Vault collection
The kmsProviderCredentials object, which contains your Azure KMS credentials
The extraOptions object, which contains the path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library

var extraOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    { "cryptSharedLibPath", _appSettings["CryptSharedLibPath"] } // Path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library
};
var autoEncryptionOptions = new AutoEncryptionOptions(
    keyVaultNamespace,
    kmsProviderCredentials,
    extraOptions: extraOptions);

Create an AutoEncryption object that contains the following options:

The namespace of your Key Vault collection
The kmsProviderCredentials object, which contains your Azure KMS credentials
The cryptSharedLibraryPath object, which contains the path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library

cryptSharedLibraryPath := map[string]interface{}{
	"cryptSharedLibPath": os.Getenv("SHARED_LIB_PATH"), // Path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library
}
autoEncryptionOptions := options.AutoEncryption().
	SetKeyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace).
	SetKmsProviders(kmsProviderCredentials).
	SetExtraOptions(cryptSharedLibraryPath)

Create an AutoEncryptionSettings object that contains the following options:

The namespace of your Key Vault collection
The kmsProviderCredentials object, which contains your Azure KMS credentials
The extraOptions object, which contains the path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library

Map<String, Object> extraOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
extraOptions.put("cryptSharedLibPath", getEnv("SHARED_LIB_PATH")); // Path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library
AutoEncryptionSettings autoEncryptionSettings = AutoEncryptionSettings.builder()
        .keyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace)
        .kmsProviders(kmsProviderCredentials)
        .extraOptions(extraOptions)
        .build();

Create an autoEncryptionOptions object that contains the following options:

The namespace of your Key Vault collection
The kmsProviders object, which contains your Azure KMS credentials
The sharedLibraryPathOptions object, which contains the path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library

const extraOptions = {
  cryptSharedLibPath: process.env.SHARED_LIB_PATH, // Path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library
};
const autoEncryptionOptions = {
  keyVaultNamespace,
  kmsProviders,
  extraOptions,
};

Create an AutoEncryptionOpts object that contains the following options:

The kms_provider_credentials object, which contains your Azure KMS credentials
The namespace of your Key Vault collection
The path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library

auto_encryption_options = AutoEncryptionOpts(
    kms_provider_credentials,
    key_vault_namespace,
    crypt_shared_lib_path=os.environ['SHARED_LIB_PATH'] # Path to your Automatic Encryption Shared Library>
)

Note

Automatic Encryption Options

The automatic encryption options provide configuration information to the Automatic Encryption Shared Library, which modifies the application's behavior when accessing encrypted fields.

To learn more about the Automatic Encryption Shared Library, see the Automatic Encryption Shared Library for Queryable Encryption page.

Create a Client to Set Up an Encrypted Collection

To create a client used to encrypt and decrypt data in your collection, instantiate a new MongoClient by using your connection URI and your automatic encryption options.

const encryptedClient = Mongo(uri, autoEncryptionOpts);

var clientSettings = MongoClientSettings.FromConnectionString(uri);
clientSettings.AutoEncryptionOptions = qeHelpers.GetAutoEncryptionOptions(
    keyVaultNamespace,
    kmsProviderCredentials);
var encryptedClient = new MongoClient(clientSettings);

encryptedClient, err := mongo.Connect(
	context.TODO(),
	options.Client().ApplyURI(uri).SetAutoEncryptionOptions(autoEncryptionOptions),
)
if err != nil {
	panic(fmt.Sprintf("Unable to connect to MongoDB: %v\n", err))
}
defer func() {
	_ = encryptedClient.Disconnect(context.TODO())
}()

MongoClientSettings clientSettings = MongoClientSettings.builder()
        .applyConnectionString(new ConnectionString(uri))
        .autoEncryptionSettings(autoEncryptionSettings)
        .build();
try (MongoClient encryptedClient = MongoClients.create(clientSettings)) {

const encryptedClient = new MongoClient(uri, {
  autoEncryption: autoEncryptionOptions,
});

encrypted_client = MongoClient(
    uri, auto_encryption_opts=auto_encryption_options)

Specify Fields to Encrypt

To encrypt a field, add it to the encryption schema. To enable queries on a field, add the "queries" property. Create the encryption schema as follows:

const encryptedFieldsMap = {
  encryptedFields: {
    fields: [
      {
        path: "patientRecord.ssn",
        bsonType: "string",
        queries: { queryType: "equality" },
      },
      {
        path: "patientRecord.billing",
        bsonType: "object",
      },
    ],
  },
};

var encryptedFields = new BsonDocument
{
    {
        "fields", new BsonArray
        {
            new BsonDocument
            {
                { "keyId", BsonNull.Value },
                { "path", "record.ssn" },
                { "bsonType", "string" },
                { "queries", new BsonDocument("queryType", "equality") }
            },
            new BsonDocument
            {
                { "keyId", BsonNull.Value },
                { "path", "record.billing" },
                { "bsonType", "object" }
            }
        }
    }
};

encryptedFieldsMap := bson.M{
	"fields": []bson.M{
		bson.M{
			"keyId":    nil,
			"path":     "patientRecord.ssn",
			"bsonType": "string",
			"queries": []bson.M{
				{
					"queryType": "equality",
				},
			},
		},
		bson.M{
			"keyId":    nil,
			"path":     "patientRecord.billing",
			"bsonType": "object",
		},
	},
}

BsonDocument encryptedFieldsMap = new BsonDocument().append("fields",
        new BsonArray(Arrays.asList(
                new BsonDocument()
                        .append("keyId", new BsonNull())
                        .append("path", new BsonString("patientRecord.ssn"))
                        .append("bsonType", new BsonString("string"))
                        .append("queries", new BsonDocument()
                                .append("queryType", new BsonString("equality"))),
                new BsonDocument()
                        .append("keyId", new BsonNull())
                        .append("path", new BsonString("patientRecord.billing"))
                        .append("bsonType", new BsonString("object")))));

const encryptedFieldsMap = {
  encryptedFields: {
    fields: [
      {
        path: "patientRecord.ssn",
        bsonType: "string",
        queries: { queryType: "equality" },
      },
      {
        path: "patientRecord.billing",
        bsonType: "object",
      },
    ],
  },
};

encrypted_fields_map = {
    "fields": [
        {
            "path": "patientRecord.ssn",
            "bsonType": "string",
            "queries": [{"queryType": "equality"}]
        },
        {
            "path": "patientRecord.billing",
            "bsonType": "object",
        }
    ]
}

Note

In the previous code sample, both the "ssn" and "billing" fields are encrypted, but only the "ssn" field can be queried.

Create the Collection

Instantiate ClientEncryption to access the API for the encryption helper methods.

const clientEncryption = encryptedClient.getClientEncryption()

var clientEncryptionOptions = new ClientEncryptionOptions(
    keyVaultClient: keyVaultClient,
    keyVaultNamespace: keyVaultNamespace,
    kmsProviders: kmsProviderCredentials
);
var clientEncryption = new ClientEncryption(clientEncryptionOptions);

opts := options.ClientEncryption().
	SetKeyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace).
	SetKmsProviders(kmsProviderCredentials)
clientEncryption, err := mongo.NewClientEncryption(encryptedClient, opts)
if err != nil {
	panic(fmt.Sprintf("Unable to create a ClientEncryption instance due to the following error: %s\n", err))
}

ClientEncryptionSettings clientEncryptionSettings = ClientEncryptionSettings.builder()
        .keyVaultMongoClientSettings(MongoClientSettings.builder()
                .applyConnectionString(new ConnectionString(uri))
                .build())
        .keyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace)
        .kmsProviders(kmsProviderCredentials)
        .build();
ClientEncryption clientEncryption = ClientEncryptions.create(clientEncryptionSettings);

const clientEncryption = new ClientEncryption(encryptedClient, autoEncryptionOptions);

client_encryption = ClientEncryption(
    kms_providers=kms_provider_credentials,
    key_vault_namespace=key_vault_namespace,
    key_vault_client=encrypted_client,
    codec_options=CodecOptions(uuid_representation=STANDARD)
)

Create your encrypted collection by using the encryption helper method accessed through the ClientEncryption class. This method automatically generates data encryption keys for your encrypted fields and creates the encrypted collection:

await clientEncryption.createEncryptedCollection(
  encryptedDatabaseName,
  encryptedCollectionName,
  {
    provider: kmsProviderName,
    createCollectionOptions: encryptedFieldsMap,
    masterKey: customerMasterKeyCredentials,
  }
);

The C# version of this tutorial uses separate classes as data models to represent the document structure. Add the following Patient, PatientRecord, and PatientBilling classes to your project:

using MongoDB.Bson;
using MongoDB.Bson.Serialization.Attributes;
[BsonIgnoreExtraElements]
public class Patient
{
    public ObjectId Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public PatientRecord Record { get; set; }
}

public class PatientRecord
{
    public string Ssn { get; set; }
    public PatientBilling Billing { get; set; }
}

public class PatientBilling
{
    public string CardType { get; set; }
    public long CardNumber { get; set; }
}

After you've added these classes, create your encrypted collection by using the encryption helper method accessed through the ClientEncryption class. This method automatically generates data encryption keys for your encrypted fields and creates the encrypted collection:

var createCollectionOptions = new CreateCollectionOptions<Patient>
{
    EncryptedFields = encryptedFields
};
clientEncryption.CreateEncryptedCollection(patientDatabase,
    encryptedCollectionName,
    createCollectionOptions,
    kmsProviderName,
    customerMasterKeyCredentials);

Tip

Database vs. Database Name

The method that creates the encrypted collection requires a reference to a database object rather than the database name. You can obtain this reference by using a method on your client object.

The Golang version of this tutorial uses data models to represent the document structure. Add the following structs to your project to represent the data in your collection:

type PatientDocument struct {
	PatientName   string        `bson:"patientName"`
	PatientID     int32         `bson:"patientId"`
	PatientRecord PatientRecord `bson:"patientRecord"`
}

type PatientRecord struct {
	SSN     string      `bson:"ssn"`
	Billing PaymentInfo `bson:"billing"`
}

type PaymentInfo struct {
	Type   string `bson:"type"`
	Number string `bson:"number"`
}

createCollectionOptions := options.CreateCollection().SetEncryptedFields(encryptedFieldsMap)
_, _, err =
	clientEncryption.CreateEncryptedCollection(
		context.TODO(),
		encryptedClient.Database(encryptedDatabaseName),
		encryptedCollectionName,
		createCollectionOptions,
		kmsProviderName,
		customerMasterKey,
	)

Tip

Database vs. Database Name

The method that creates the encrypted collection requires a reference to a database object rather than the database name. You can obtain this reference by using a method on your client object.

CreateCollectionOptions createCollectionOptions = new CreateCollectionOptions().encryptedFields(encryptedFieldsMap);
CreateEncryptedCollectionParams encryptedCollectionParams = new CreateEncryptedCollectionParams(kmsProviderName);
encryptedCollectionParams.masterKey(customerMasterKeyCredentials);
try {
    clientEncryption.createEncryptedCollection(
            encryptedClient.getDatabase(encryptedDatabaseName),
            encryptedCollectionName,
            createCollectionOptions,
            encryptedCollectionParams);
}

Tip

Database vs. Database Name

The method that creates the encrypted collection requires a reference to a database object rather than the database name. You can obtain this reference by using a method on your client object.

Note

Import ClientEncryption

When using the Node.js driver v6.0 and later, you must import ClientEncryption from mongodb.

For earlier driver versions, import ClientEncryption from mongodb-client-encryption.

await clientEncryption.createEncryptedCollection(
  encryptedDatabase,
  encryptedCollectionName,
  {
    provider: kmsProviderName,
    createCollectionOptions: encryptedFieldsMap,
    masterKey: customerMasterKeyCredentials,
  }
);

Tip

Database vs. Database Name

The method that creates the encrypted collection requires a reference to a database object rather than the database name. You can obtain this reference by using a method on your client object.

client_encryption.create_encrypted_collection(
    encrypted_client[encrypted_database_name],
    encrypted_collection_name,
    encrypted_fields_map,
    kms_provider_name,
    customer_master_key_credentials,
)

Database vs. Database Name

The method that creates the encrypted collection requires a reference to a database object rather than the database name. You can obtain this reference by using a method on your client object.

Insert a Document with Encrypted Fields

Create a sample document that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

const patientDocument = {
  patientName: "Jon Doe",
  patientId: 12345678,
  patientRecord: {
    ssn: "987-65-4320",
    billing: {
      type: "Visa",
      number: "4111111111111111",
    },
  },
};
const encryptedCollection = encryptedClient.getDB(encryptedDatabaseName).getCollection(encryptedCollectionName);
const insertResult = await encryptedCollection.insertOne(patientDocument);

Create a sample document that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

var patient = new Patient
{
    Name = "Jon Doe",
    Id = new ObjectId(),
    Record = new PatientRecord
    {
        Ssn = "987-65-4320",
        Billing = new PatientBilling
        {
            CardType = "Visa",
            CardNumber = 4111111111111111
        }
    }
};
var encryptedCollection = encryptedClient.GetDatabase(encryptedDatabaseName).
    GetCollection<Patient>(encryptedCollectionName);
encryptedCollection.InsertOne(patient);

Create a sample document that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

patientDocument := &PatientDocument{
	PatientName: "John Doe",
	PatientID:   12345678,
	PatientRecord: PatientRecord{
		SSN: "987-65-4320",
		Billing: PaymentInfo{
			Type:   "Visa",
			Number: "4111111111111111",
		},
	},
}
coll := encryptedClient.Database(encryptedDatabaseName).Collection(encryptedCollectionName)
_, err = coll.InsertOne(context.TODO(), patientDocument)
if err != nil {
	panic(fmt.Sprintf("Unable to insert the patientDocument: %s", err))
}

This tutorial uses POJOs as data models to represent the document structure. To set up your application to use POJOs, add the following code:

CodecProvider pojoCodecProvider = PojoCodecProvider.builder().automatic(true).build();
CodecRegistry pojoCodecRegistry = fromRegistries(getDefaultCodecRegistry(), fromProviders(pojoCodecProvider));

To learn more about Java POJOs, see the Plain Old Java Object wikipedia article.

This tutorial uses the following POJOs:

Patient
PatientRecord
PatientBilling

You can view these classes in the models package of the complete Java application.

Add these POJO classes to your application. Then, create an instance of a Patient that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

MongoDatabase encryptedDb = encryptedClient.getDatabase(encryptedDatabaseName).withCodecRegistry(pojoCodecRegistry);
MongoCollection<Patient> collection = encryptedDb.getCollection(encryptedCollectionName, Patient.class);
PatientBilling patientBilling = new PatientBilling("Visa", "4111111111111111");
PatientRecord patientRecord = new PatientRecord("987-65-4320", patientBilling);
Patient patientDocument = new Patient("Jon Doe", patientRecord);
InsertOneResult result = collection.insertOne(patientDocument);

Create a sample document that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

const patientDocument = {
  patientName: "Jon Doe",
  patientId: 12345678,
  patientRecord: {
    ssn: "987-65-4320",
    billing: {
      type: "Visa",
      number: "4111111111111111",
    },
  },
};
const encryptedCollection = encryptedClient
  .db(encryptedDatabaseName)
  .collection(encryptedCollectionName);
const result = await encryptedCollection.insertOne(patientDocument);

Create a sample document that describes a patient's personal information. Use the encrypted client to insert it into the patients collection, as shown in the following example:

patient_document = {
    "patientName": "Jon Doe",
    "patientId": 12345678,
    "patientRecord": {
        "ssn": "987-65-4320",
        "billing": {
            "type": "Visa",
            "number": "4111111111111111",
        },
    },
}
encrypted_collection = encrypted_client[encrypted_database_name][encrypted_collection_name]
result = encrypted_collection.insert_one(patient_document)

Query on an Encrypted Field

The following code sample executes a find query on an encrypted field and prints the decrypted data:

const findResult = await encryptedCollection.findOne({
  "patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320",
});
console.log(findResult);

var ssnFilter = Builders<Patient>.Filter.Eq("record.ssn", patient.Record.Ssn);
var findResult = await encryptedCollection.Find(ssnFilter).ToCursorAsync();
Console.WriteLine(findResult.FirstOrDefault().ToJson());

var findResult PatientDocument
err = coll.FindOne(
	context.TODO(),
	bson.M{"patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320"},
).Decode(&findResult)

Patient findResult = collection.find(
    new BsonDocument()
            .append("patientRecord.ssn", new BsonString("987-65-4320")))
            .first();
 
System.out.println(findResult);

const findResult = await encryptedCollection.findOne({
  "patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320",
});
console.log(findResult);

find_result = encrypted_collection.find_one({
    "patientRecord.ssn": "987-65-4320"
})
print(find_result)

The output of the preceding code sample should look similar to the following:

{
  "_id": {
    "$oid": "648b384a722cb9b8392df76a"
  },
  "name": "Jon Doe",
  "record": {
    "ssn": "987-65-4320",
    "billing": {
      "type": "Visa",
      "number": "4111111111111111"
    }
  },
  "__safeContent__": [
    {
      "$binary": {
        "base64": "L1NsYItk0Sg+oL66DBj6IYHbX7tveANQyrU2cvMzD9Y=",
        "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.
