# Rationale for this change
# Add Support for aws-lc-rs as Alternative Cryptographic Provider
## Overview
This PR implements support for using `aws-lc-rs` as an alternative to `ring`
for cryptographic operations in arrow-rs-object-store, addressing issue #413.
Users can now choose between `ring` (default) and `aws-lc-rs` as their
cryptographic provider, with compile-time mutual exclusivity enforcement.
## ๐ฏ Problem Solved
- **Issue**: The crate was hardcoded to use `ring` for cryptographic
operations
- **Need**: Support for `aws-lc-rs` as an alternative, particularly for FIPS
compliance requirements
- **Constraint**: Prevent both libraries from being compiled simultaneously
to avoid bloat
## โ
Solution Implemented
### 1. **Feature Flag System**
- Added `crypto-ring` and `crypto-aws-lc-rs` mutually exclusive feature flags
- `crypto-ring` is enabled by default for backward compatibility
- Compile-time error prevents both providers from being enabled
simultaneously
### 2. **Comprehensive Crypto Provider Support**
#### **Core Functions (src/util.rs)**
- โ
`hmac_sha256()` - HMAC-SHA256 operations for both providers
- โ
`hex_digest()` - SHA256 digest computation for both providers
- โ
`hex_encode()` - Hex encoding utility
- โ
Compile-time mutual exclusivity checks
#### **AWS Client Support (src/aws/client.rs)**
- โ
Updated digest imports to support both crypto providers
- โ
All AWS cryptographic operations work with both providers
#### **GCP Support (src/gcp/credential.rs)**
- โ
RSA key pair signing with both providers
- โ
JWT token generation with both providers
- โ
Proper API compatibility handling for different method signatures
### 3. **Configuration Updates**
#### **Cargo.toml**
```toml
# New optional dependencies
aws-lc-rs = { version = "1.0", default-features = false, features =
["aws-lc-sys"], optional = true }
# New feature flags
crypto-ring = ["ring"]
crypto-aws-lc-rs = ["aws-lc-rs"]
# Updated cloud feature (no longer hardcoded to ring)
cloud = ["serde", "serde_json", "quick-xml", "hyper", "reqwest", ...]
```
#### **Default Behavior**
- `default = ["fs", "crypto-ring"]` - maintains backward compatibility
- Existing users see no changes unless they opt into aws-lc-rs
## ๐ Usage Examples
### Default (ring)
```toml
[dependencies]
object_store = { version = "0.12", features = ["cloud"] }
```
### With aws-lc-rs
```toml
[dependencies]
object_store = { version = "0.12", default-features = false, features =
["cloud", "crypto-aws-lc-rs"] }
```
### Specific Cloud Providers
```toml
# AWS with aws-lc-rs
object_store = { version = "0.12", default-features = false, features =
["aws", "crypto-aws-lc-rs"] }
# GCP with aws-lc-rs
object_store = { version = "0.12", default-features = false, features =
["gcp", "crypto-aws-lc-rs"] }
```
## ๐งช Testing
### **Comprehensive Test Suite**
- โ
Unit tests for all crypto functions with both providers
- โ
Consistency tests ensuring identical outputs from both providers
- โ
Integration tests for AWS, GCP, and Azure with both providers
- โ
Compile-time mutual exclusivity verification
- โ
Example programs demonstrating usage
### **Test Results**
```bash
# All tests pass with ring
cargo test --features "crypto-ring,aws,gcp,fs"
# All tests pass with aws-lc-rs
cargo test --features "crypto-aws-lc-rs,aws,gcp,fs" --no-default-features
# Compile error when both enabled (as expected)
cargo check --features "crypto-ring,crypto-aws-lc-rs"
```
### **Automated Test Script**
- Created `test_crypto_providers.sh` for comprehensive validation
- Tests all combinations and mutual exclusivity
- Verifies examples work with both providers
## ๐ Security & Compatibility
### **API Compatibility**
- Both providers expose identical APIs to the rest of the codebase
- Function signatures remain unchanged
- Cryptographic outputs are identical between providers
### **Backward Compatibility**
- โ
Existing code continues to work without changes
- โ
Default behavior unchanged (still uses ring)
- โ
No breaking changes to public APIs
### **FIPS Compliance**
- Users requiring FIPS compliance can now use `aws-lc-rs`
- Compile-time selection ensures no performance overhead
## ๐ Files Modified
### **Core Implementation**
- `src/util.rs` - Core crypto functions with dual provider support
- `src/aws/client.rs` - AWS client crypto provider imports
- `src/gcp/credential.rs` - GCP RSA signing with both providers
- `Cargo.toml` - Feature flags and dependencies
### **Documentation & Testing**
- `README.md` - Usage documentation and examples
- `examples/crypto_providers.rs` - Example demonstrating both providers
- `test_crypto_providers.sh` - Comprehensive test script
- `CRYPTO_PROVIDER_PR_SUMMARY.md` - This comprehensive PR summary
## ๐ Benefits
1. **Choice**: Users can select their preferred cryptographic provider
2. **FIPS Compliance**: aws-lc-rs provides FIPS-validated cryptography
3. **No Bloat**: Compile-time exclusivity prevents dual compilation
4. **Backward Compatible**: Existing code continues to work unchanged
5. **Well Tested**: Comprehensive test suite ensures reliability
6. **Future Proof**: Easy to add additional crypto providers if needed
## ๐ Implementation Details
### **Compile-Time Safety**
```rust
#[cfg(all(feature = "crypto-ring", feature = "crypto-aws-lc-rs"))]
compile_error!("Cannot enable both 'crypto-ring' and 'crypto-aws-lc-rs'
features simultaneously.");
```
### **Provider-Specific Implementations**
```rust
#[cfg(feature = "crypto-ring")]
pub(crate) fn hmac_sha256(secret: impl AsRef<[u8]>, bytes: impl AsRef<[u8]>)
-> ring::hmac::Tag {
let key = ring::hmac::Key::new(ring::hmac::HMAC_SHA256, secret.as_ref());
ring::hmac::sign(&key, bytes.as_ref())
}
#[cfg(feature = "crypto-aws-lc-rs")]
pub(crate) fn hmac_sha256(secret: impl AsRef<[u8]>, bytes: impl AsRef<[u8]>)
-> aws_lc_rs::hmac::Tag {
let key = aws_lc_rs::hmac::Key::new(aws_lc_rs::hmac::HMAC_SHA256,
secret.as_ref());
aws_lc_rs::hmac::sign(&key, bytes.as_ref())
}
```
