a sample code to show how to use AWS KMS and IAM Roles with MongoDB Client-Side Field Level Encryption

This is a sample application demonstrating MongoDB Client-Side Field Level Encryption with AWS KMS. To get started,

1. create an AWS KMS master key (see aws_cli/kms.sh)
2. create an AWS IAM role allowing this app to encrypt / decrypt data keys (see aws_cli/iam.sh)
3. rename 00_sharedconst.js.SECRETS to 00_sharedconst.js
4. update the 6 constants at the top of that file (see instructions in the file)
5. install Nodejs dependencies (npm install)

Create a data key

node 01_createkey.js

Verify data keys

Update the 02_verifykey.js with the Base64 key id provided by the previous step

node 02_verifykey.js

Manuel field-level encryption with the data key

Encryption is explicit in the code. CSFLE-enabled MongoDB clients automatically decrypt the data.

node 03_manualEncryption.js

Automatic field-level encryption with the data key

Update the 04_automaticEncryption.js with the Base64 key id provided by the key creation step

Encryption and decyption are automatically performed by CSFLE-enabled MongoDB clients.

The driver relies on a data schema to describe what fields have to be encrypted and with which key (see 99_schemaHelper.js)

The application relies on mongocryptd daemon to be started on the same machine as the application. Please follow the MongoDB mongocryptd documentation for download and installation instructions.

 /usr/bin/mongocryptd --fork --logpath /home/ec2-user/mongocryptd.log  --pidfilepath /home/ec2-user/mongocryptd.pid

node 04_automaticEncryption.js
