Stanton Sievers updated SHINDIG-1636:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Create a mechanism to provide an encryption key to the
SecurityToken workflow (was: Create a KeyProvider to provide an encryption key
to the SecurityToken workflow)
> Create a mechanism to provide an encryption key to the SecurityToken workflow
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SHINDIG-1636
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1636
> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java
> Reporter: Stanton Sievers
> Original Estimate: 48h
> Remaining Estimate: 48h
>
> Currently,
> org.apache.shindig.auth.BlobCrypterSecurityTokenCodec.loadContainers(ContainerConfig,
> Collection<String>, Map<String, BlobCrypter>, Map<String, String>) reads an
> encryption key from a keyfile to instantiate the BlobCrypter. The keyfile is
> defined in the container.js. An improvement to this behavior would be to
> provide an injectable KeyProvider class that can return the key. This would
> allow the key to reside anywhere instead of in a static keyfile.
> Update:
> The old approach was to provide a KeyProvider class but that turned out to be
> a little too heavy and there was some contention over the best
> implementation. Until there is a consensus on the best way to implement that
> abstraction, we can simply add another config value to the container.js that
> is the key itself and have the codec read and use that value if it exists.
