Use Automatic Client-Side Field Level Encryption with Azure

On this page

  • Overview
  • Before You Get Started
  • Set Up the KMS
  • Register your Application with Azure
  • Create the Customer Master Key
  • Create the Application
  • Create a Unique Index on your Key Vault collection
  • Create a New Data Encryption Key
  • Configure the MongoClient
  • Insert a Document with Encrypted Fields
  • Retrieve Your Document with Encrypted Fields
  • Learn More

This guide shows you how to build a Client-Side Field Level Encryption (CSFLE)-enabled application using Azure Key Vault.

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

  • A Customer Master Key hosted on an Azure Key Vault instance.

  • A working client application that inserts documents with encrypted fields using your Customer Master Key.

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

Throughout this guide, code examples use placeholder text. Before you run the examples, substitute your own values for these placeholders.

For example:

dek_id := "<Your Base64 DEK ID>"

You would replace everything between quotes with your DEK ID.

dek_id := "abc123"

Select the programming language for which you want to see code examples for from the Select your language dropdown menu on the right side of the page.

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>();
indexOptions.Unique = true;
indexOptions.PartialFilterExpression = new BsonDocument { { "keyAltNames", new BsonDocument { { "$exists", new BsonBoolean(true) } } } };

keyVaultClient.getDatabase("medicalRecords").getCollection("patients").drop();
MongoCollection keyVaultCollection = keyVaultClient.getDatabase(keyVaultDb).getCollection(keyVaultColl);

Add the service account credentials to your CSFLE-enabled client code.

var kmsProviders = new Dictionary<string, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object>>();
var provider = "azure";
var azureKmsOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{ "tenantId", "<Your Azure Tenant ID>" },
{ "clientId", "<Your Azure Client ID>" },
{ "clientSecret", "<Your Azure Client Secret>" },
};
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>",
}
}
2

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.

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

Generate your Data Encryption Key using the variables declared in step one of this tutorial.

var clientEncryptionOptions = new ClientEncryptionOptions(
keyVaultClient: keyVaultClient,
keyVaultNamespace: keyVaultNamespace,
kmsProviders: kmsProviders
);
var clientEncryption = new ClientEncryption(clientEncryptionOptions);
var dataKeyId = clientEncryption.CreateDataKey(provider, dataKeyOptions, CancellationToken.None);
var dataKeyIdBase64 = Convert.ToBase64String(GuidConverter.ToBytes(dataKeyId, GuidRepresentation.Standard));
Console.WriteLine($"DataKeyId [base64]: {dataKeyIdBase64}");
clientEncryptionOpts := options.ClientEncryption().SetKeyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace).
SetKmsProviders(kmsProviders)
clientEnc, err := mongo.NewClientEncryption(keyVaultClient, clientEncryptionOpts)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("NewClientEncryption error %v", err)
}
defer func() {
_ = clientEnc.Close(context.TODO())
}()
dataKeyOpts := options.DataKey().
SetMasterKey(masterKey)
dataKeyID, err := clientEnc.CreateDataKey(context.TODO(), provider, dataKeyOpts)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("create data key error %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("DataKeyId [base64]: %s\n", base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(dataKeyID.Data))
ClientEncryptionSettings clientEncryptionSettings = ClientEncryptionSettings.builder()
.keyVaultMongoClientSettings(MongoClientSettings.builder()
.applyConnectionString(new ConnectionString(connectionString))
.build())
.keyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace)
.kmsProviders(kmsProviders)
.build();
MongoClient regularClient = MongoClients.create(connectionString);
ClientEncryption clientEncryption = ClientEncryptions.create(clientEncryptionSettings);
BsonBinary dataKeyId = clientEncryption.createDataKey(kmsProvider, new DataKeyOptions().masterKey(masterKeyProperties));
String base64DataKeyId = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(dataKeyId.getData());
System.out.println("DataKeyId [base64]: " + base64DataKeyId);
clientEncryption.close();
const client = new MongoClient(uri, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
});
await client.connect();
const encryption = new ClientEncryption(client, {
keyVaultNamespace,
kmsProviders,
});
const key = await encryption.createDataKey(provider, {
masterKey: masterKey,
});
console.log("DataKeyId [base64]: ", key.toString("base64"));
await keyVaultClient.close();
await client.close();

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.

key_vault_database = "encryption"
key_vault_collection = "__keyVault"
key_vault_namespace = f"{key_vault_database}.{key_vault_collection}"
client = MongoClient(connection_string)
client_encryption = ClientEncryption(
kms_providers, # pass in the kms_providers variable from the previous step
key_vault_namespace,
client,
CodecOptions(uuid_representation=STANDARD),
)
data_key_id = client_encryption.create_data_key(provider, master_key)
base_64_data_key_id = base64.b64encode(data_key_id)
print("DataKeyId [base64]: ", base_64_data_key_id)

SetKeyVaultNamespace(keyVaultNamespace).
SetSchemaMap(schemaMap).
SetExtraOptions(extraOptions)
secureClient, err := mongo.Connect(context.TODO(), options.Client().ApplyURI(uri).SetAutoEncryptionOptions(autoEncryptionOpts))
if err != nil {

new BsonDocument("weight", 180),
new BsonDocument("bloodPressure", "120/80")
}
},
{
"insurance", new BsonDocument
{
{ "policyNumber", 123142 },
{ "provider", "MaestCare" }
}
}

Note

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

ArrayList<Document> medicalRecords = new ArrayList<>();
medicalRecords.add(new Document().append("weight", "180"));
medicalRecords.add(new Document().append("bloodPressure", "120/80"));
Document insurance = new Document()
.append("policyNumber", 123142)
.append("provider", "MaestCare");
Document patient = new Document()
.append("name", "Jon Doe")
.append("ssn", 241014209)
.append("bloodType", "AB+")
.append("medicalRecords", medicalRecords)
.append("insurance", insurance);
mongoClientSecure.getDatabase(recordsDb).getCollection(recordsColl).insertOne(patient);
try {
const writeResult = await secureClient
.db(db)
.collection(coll)
.insertOne({
name: "Jon Doe",
ssn: 241014209,
bloodType: "AB+",
medicalRecords: [{ weight: 180, bloodPressure: "120/80" }],
insurance: {
policyNumber: 123142,
provider: "MaestCare",
},
});
} catch (writeError) {
console.error("writeError occurred:", writeError);
}
def insert_patient(
collection, name, ssn, blood_type, medical_records, policy_number, provider

insurance = {"policyNumber": policy_number, "provider": provider}
doc = {
"name": name,
"ssn": ssn,
"bloodType": blood_type,
"medicalRecords": medical_records,
"insurance": insurance,
}
collection.insert_one(doc)
medical_record = [{"weight": 180, "bloodPressure": "120/80"}]
insert_patient(
secureClient.medicalRecords.patients,

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

{
"_id": { "$oid": "<_id of your document>" },
"name": "Jon Doe",
"ssn": {
"$binary": "<cipher-text>",
"$type": "6"
},
"bloodType": {
"$binary": "<cipher-text>",
"$type": "6"
},
"medicalRecords": {
"$binary": "<cipher-text>",
"$type": "6"
},
"insurance": {
"provider": "MaestCare",
"policyNumber": {
"$binary": "<cipher-text>",
"$type": "6"
}
}
}

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 CSFLE, the following code snippet queries for your document with a client configured for automatic CSFLE as well as a client that is not configured for automatic CSFLE.

Console.WriteLine("Finding a document with regular (non-encrypted) client.");
var filter = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Eq("name", "Jon Doe");
var regularResult = regularCollection.Find(filter).Limit(1).ToList()[0];
Console.WriteLine($"\n{regularResult}\n");
Console.WriteLine("Finding a document with encrypted client, searching on an encrypted field");
var ssnFilter = Builders<BsonDocument>.Filter.Eq("ssn", 145014000);
var secureResult = secureCollection.Find(ssnFilter).Limit(1).First();
Console.WriteLine($"\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{{"name", "Jon Doe"}}).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{{"ssn", "241014209"}}).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 = mongoClientRegular.getDatabase(recordsDb).getCollection(recordsColl).find(eq("name", "Jon Doe")).first();
System.out.println(docRegular.toJson());
System.out.println("Finding a document with encrypted client, searching on an encrypted field");
Document docSecure = mongoClientSecure.getDatabase(recordsDb).getCollection(recordsColl).find(eq("ssn", 241014209)).first();
System.out.println(docSecure.toJson());
console.log("Finding a document with regular (non-encrypted) client.");
console.log(
await regularClient.db(db).collection(coll).findOne({ name: /Jon/ })
);
console.log(
"Finding a document with encrypted client, searching on an encrypted field"
);
console.log(
await secureClient.db(db).collection(coll).findOne({ ssn: "241014209" })
);
print("Finding a document with regular (non-encrypted) client.")
result = regularClient.medicalRecords.patients.find_one({"name": "Jon Doe"})
pprint.pprint(result)
print("Finding a document with encrypted client, searching on an encrypted field")
pprint.pprint(secureClient.medicalRecords.patients.find_one({"ssn": 241014209}))

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