Decrypting non-encrypted content with AmazonS3EncryptionClientV2

[ashishdhingra]

Discussed in https://github.com/aws/amazon-s3-encryption-client-dotnet/discussions/63

^{Originally posted by **simenstensas** September 30, 2024} Hi! I've upgraded to the latest preview of AmazonS3EncryptionClientV2 and so far it works out of the box with encrypted content. However it fails when getting non-encrypted content with message "Amazon.Runtime.AmazonServiceException: Unable to decrypt data for object [object] in bucket [bucket]". Since the metadata contains information about whether the content is encrypted or not, could one just not decrypt it if no headers are found? If this is not possible, what could be a solution for me?

[ashishdhingra]

We would need to check:

• Behavior on how it worked with previous obsolete version of encryption client, and also with Java encryption client.
• Need to figure out if the behavior was implemented as a result of security practice.
• If changing behavior would be a breaking change.

Findings when using Amazon.Extensions.S3.Encryption version 2.2.0 Reproducible using code below:

using Amazon.Extensions.S3.Encryption;
using Amazon.Extensions.S3.Encryption.Primitives;
using Amazon.S3;
using Amazon.S3.Model;

string bucketName = "<<bucket-name>>";
Amazon.AWSConfigs.LoggingConfig.LogResponses = Amazon.ResponseLoggingOption.Always;
Amazon.AWSConfigs.LoggingConfig.LogTo = Amazon.LoggingOptions.Console;
Amazon.AWSConfigs.LoggingConfig.LogMetrics = true;
Amazon.AWSConfigs.AddTraceListener("Amazon", new System.Diagnostics.ConsoleTraceListener());

S3EncryptionTest(bucketName, "<<kms-key-guid>>");

static void S3EncryptionTest(string bucketName, string kmsKeyId)
{
    var encryptionContext = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    var encryptionMaterial =
        new EncryptionMaterialsV2(kmsKeyId, KmsType.KmsContext, encryptionContext);
    var configuration = new AmazonS3CryptoConfigurationV2(SecurityProfile.V2);

    using (AmazonS3Client amazonS3Client = new AmazonS3Client())
    {
        var response = amazonS3Client.PutObjectAsync(new PutObjectRequest()
        {
            BucketName = bucketName,
            Key = "test-notencrypted-file.txt",
            ContentBody = "Testing S3 Encryption"
        }).Result;
    }

    using (var encryptionClient = new AmazonS3EncryptionClientV2(configuration, encryptionMaterial))
    {
        EncryptObject(encryptionClient, bucketName, "test-encrypted-file.txt", "Testing S3 Encryption");
        DecryptObject(encryptionClient, bucketName, "test-encrypted-file.txt");
        DecryptObject(encryptionClient, bucketName, "test-notencrypted-file.txt");
    }
}

static void EncryptObject(AmazonS3EncryptionClientV2 encryptionClient, string bucketName, string key, string contentBody)
{
    var putRequest = new PutObjectRequest
    {
        BucketName = bucketName,
        Key = key,
        ContentBody = contentBody
    };

    var response = encryptionClient.PutObjectAsync(putRequest).Result;
}

static void DecryptObject(AmazonS3EncryptionClientV2 encryptionClient, string bucketName, string key)
{
    var getRequest = new GetObjectRequest
    {
        BucketName = bucketName,
        Key = key
    };

    using (var response = encryptionClient.GetObjectAsync(getRequest).Result)
    {
        using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.ResponseStream))
        {
            string contents = reader.ReadToEnd();
            Console.WriteLine("Contents: " + contents);
        }
    }
}

Throws the exception System.AggregateException: 'System.AggregateException: 'One or more errors occurred. (Unable to decrypt data for object test-notencrypted-file.txt in bucket <<bucket-name>>)''.

Looks like both Java and .NET clients throw the same exception. For .NET, S3 service is returning <Code>NoSuchKey</Code><Message>The specified key does not exist.</Message><Key>test-notencrypted-file.txtINSTRUCTION_SUFFIX</Key>. Unsure why key is test-notencrypted-file.txtINSTRUCTION_SUFFIX.

---

Dive Deep:

• INSTRUCTION_SUFFIX in .NET is declared here.
• While getting S3 object, INSTRUCTION_SUFFIX in .NET is used here.

• The logic is able to get object from S3 at SetupDecryptionHandler.InvokeAsync(). The return type is GetObjectResponse.

  • For encrypted object, the raw response contains encrypted payload:

  Testing S3 Encryption

• Thereafter, here it tries to call SetupDecryptionHandler.PostInvokeAsync(), which tries to decrypt response using SetupDecryptionHandler.DecryptObjectAsync().

• In SetupDecryptionHandler.DecryptObjectAsync(), for not encrypted file, since encrypted metadata is absent:

  • It first tries to invoke EncryptionUtils.GetInstructionFileRequest() here with EncryptionUtils.EncryptionInstructionFileV2Suffix (.instruction). It then makes subsequent call to SetupDecryptionHandler.GetInstructionFileAsync() here.
  • When the above call fails with EncryptionUtils.NoSuchKey (NoSuchKey) error code, it then tries to invoke EncryptionUtils.GetInstructionFileRequest() here with EncryptionUtils.EncryptionInstructionFileSuffix (INSTRUCTION_SUFFIX). Thereafter, making call to SetupDecryptionHandler.GetInstructionFileAsync() here. This ultimately fails.

  So, in network monitoring tool, we would see 2 failed requests with below responses: Response 1
