serverless-crypt

Description

Securing the secrets on Serverless Framework by AWS KMS encryption.

Requirements

• Serverless Framework 1.0 or higher

Installation

npm install serverless-crypt --save

Configuration

serverless.yml

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs4.3
#  runtime: python2.7

plugins:
  - serverless-crypt

custom:
    cryptKeyId: ${env:AWS_KMS_KEYID}

Supported runtimes

• python2.7
• nodejs4.3

Commands

Encrypt the secret

serverless encrypt -n $SECRET_NAME -t $PLAINTEXT --save

Decrypt the secret

serverless decrypt -n $SECRET_NAME

Usage

1. Create key on KMS

See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/create-keys.html

2. Create and attach IAM policy to your serverless service role

Policy example:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "kms:Decrypt"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:<your-account-number>:key/<your-key-id>"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

3. Set the key-id to your configuration file

Configuration example:

• serverless.yml

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs4.3
#  runtime: python2.7

functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello

plugins:
  - serverless-crypt

custom:
  cryptKeyId: ${env:AWS_KMS_KEYID}

4. Encrypt and save the secret to your secret file

Command example:

serverless encrypt -n secret_name -t "This is a secret" --save

5. Write your function

** slscrypt module is automatically injected into your deployment package. **

Code example:

• Node.js

'use strict';

const slscrypt = require('slscrypt');

module.exports.hello = (event, context, callback) => {
  slscrypt.get('secret_name').then((txt) => {
    const response = {
      statusCode: 200,
      body: JSON.stringify({
        message: txt,
        input: event,
      }),
    };

    callback(null, response);
  });
};

• Python

import json
import slscrypt

def hello(event, context):
    body = {
        "message": slscrypt.get('secret_name'),
        "input": event
    }
    response = {
        "statusCode": 200,
        "body": json.dumps(body)
    };
    return response

6. Deploy your function

Command example:

serverless deploy

or

serverless deploy function -f $FUNCTION_NAME

7. Invoke your function

Command example:

serverless invoke -f $FUNCTION_NAME

Result example:

{
    "body": "{\"input\": {}, \"message\": \"This is a secret\"}",
    "statusCode": 200
}

Development

• Source hosted at GitHub
• Report issues/questions/feature requests on GitHub Issues

Pull requests are very welcome! Make sure your patches are well tested. Ideally create a topic branch for every separate change you make. For example:

1. Fork the repo
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Added some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request
