Secure Frame (SFrame)

build version Crates.io license documentation maintenance

This library is an implementation of draft-ietf-sframe-enc-09 and provides and end-to-end encryption mechanism for media frames that is suited for WebRTC conferences. It was forked from the original goto-opensource/secure-frame-rs and is continued here.

Supported crypto libraries

Currently two crypto libraries are supported:

  • ring
    • is enabled per default with the feature ring
    • supports compilation to Wasm32
    • Aes-CTR mode ciphers are not supported
  • openssl
    • is enabled with the feature openssl
      • To build e.g. use cargo build --features openssl --no-default-features
    • uses rust bindings to OpenSSL.
    • Per default the OpenSSL library is locally compiled and then statically linked. The build process requires a C compiler, perl (and perl-core), and make. For further options see the openssl crate documentation.
    • Compilation to Wasm32 is not yet supported

Both cannot be enabled at the same time, thus on conflict sframe issues a compiler error.

Usage

Depending on your use case, this library offers two distinct APIs.

Sender / Receiver API

This API provides an easy to use interface to the Sframe implementation. The Sender / Receiver:

  • model the sframe encryption/decryption block in the data path, see sframe draft 09 4.1
  • derive and store the necessary Sframe key(s)
  • keep an internal, dynamic buffer to encrypt/ decrypt a single frame at one time
  • provide ratchet support as of sframe draft 09 5.1
  • optional frame validation before decryption
  • For example you can use them like this:
...

let key_id = 123;
let key_material = "pw123";
let skipped_payload = 1; // payload bytes which are skipped for encryption
let media_frame = b"SOME DATA";

let mut sender = Sender::new(key_id);
sender.set_encryption_key(key_material).unwrap();
let encrypted_frame = sender
  .encrypt(media_frame, skipped_payload)
  .unwrap();

let mut receiver = Receiver::default();
receiver
    .set_encryption_key(key_id, key_material)
    .unwrap();
let decrypted_frame = receiver.decrypt(encrypted_frame, skipped_payload).unwrap();

assert_eq!(media_frame, decrypted_frame);

For more options see the encrypt_decrypt example.

Frame-based API

This API provides low-level access to encryption and decryption at the frame level, offering granular control. It allows the use of arbitrary buffers, enabling the creation of views to avoid unnecessary copies:

  • MediaFrameView for unencrypted data
  • EncryptedFrameView for encrypted data

For encryption and decryption, a buffer must be provided implementing the FrameBuffer trait to allocate the necessary memory. For convenience, this trait has already been implemented for Vec<u8>. For example:

...

let key_id = 42u64;
let enc_key = EncryptionKey::derive_from(CipherSuiteVariant::AesGcm256Sha512, key_id, "pw123").unwrap();
let dec_key = DecryptionKey::derive_from(CipherSuiteVariant::AesGcm256Sha512, key_id, "pw123").unwrap();

let frame_count = 1u8;
let payload = "Something secret";

let mut encrypt_buffer = Vec::new();
let mut decrypt_buffer = Vec::new();
let media_frame = MediaFrameView::new(frame_count, payload);

let encrypted_frame = media_frame.encrypt_into(&enc_key, &mut encrypt_buffer).unwrap();

let decrypted_media_frame = encrypted_frame
  .decrypt_into(&mut dec_key, &mut decrypt_buffer)
  .unwrap();

assert_eq!(decrypted_media_frame, media_frame);

  • MediaFrame for unencrypted data
  • EncryptedFrame for encrypted data

To see how the API is used with another buffer type, you can check out the bip_frame_buffer example.

Benchmarks

The criterion benchmarks located at ./benches currently test

  • encryption/decryption with all available cipher suites and different frame size
  • key derivation with all available cipher suites
  • header (de)serialization

They are tracked continously with a Bencher Perf Page: Decryption for sframe-rs - Bencher Encryption for sframe-rs - Bencher Key Derivation for sframe-rs - Bencher
