HMAC Client and Server Interceptor for golang grpc

💻 Install

go get github.com/travix/protoc-gen-gotf

✏️ Example

🧑‍💻 Usage

Server

Add required interceptors to grpc server options

// getSecrets implements hmac.GetSecret func type that returns secret key for given keyId
interceptor := hmac.NewServerInterceptor(getSecrets)
opts := []grpc.ServerOption{
    interceptor.UnaryInterceptor(),
    interceptor.StreamInterceptor(),
    // ... other options
}
server := grpc.NewServer(opts...)

Client

Add required interceptors to grpc client options

// keyId for which secret_key is returned by hmac.GetSecret func type on server side
interceptor := hmac.NewClientInterceptor(keyId, secret_key)
opts := []grpc.DialOption{
    interceptor.WithUnaryInterceptor(),
    interceptor.WithStreamInterceptor(),
	// ... other options
}
conn, err := grpc.Dial(addr, opts...)

🔐 HMAC Authentication

HMAC is generated using

  • Request payload encoded using gob encoder, full method name concatenated with ; as separator
  • If request payload is empty, then only full method name is used.
  • Generated message is encrypted with given secret using SHA512_256

Authentication flow

  • Client interceptor adds x-hmac-key-id and x-hmac-signature to outgoing request context.
  • Server interceptor reads x-hmac-key-id and x-hmac-signature from incoming request context and verifies the signature using secret independently fetched on server using given key id.
  • If signature is valid, request is processed, otherwise Unauthenticated error is returned.
