  1. StorageSecure Appliance Overview Module 1: Lesson 4 SafeNet StorageSecure Storage Security Course

  2. Lesson Objectives • By the end of this lesson, you should be able to: • Describe the various SafeNet StorageSecure models • Describe SafeNet StorageSecure components and features

  3. StorageSecure Models

  4. SafeNet StorageSecure Appliance Models All models are: • 19” depth, Rack mountable, 2U • Redundant and hot-swappable power modules • Redundant but not hot-swappable internal fans

  5. Chassis Features • Secure chassis with intrusion detection to protect against physical probing attacks • Field upgradeable Storage Encryption Processor (Firmware) • No hard drives or other magnetic media; internal compact flash stores configuration database and encrypted keys (16GB) • LEDs for local system status • Smart Card reader for system card • Zeroize button for battlefield deployment

  6. The SafeNet StorageSecure Appliance • Front panel for both models • Rear panel and connectors 10Gb SFP Ethernet ports: one for hosts, and one for storage ports Serial port Management ports 1Gb SFP Ethernet ports: one for hosts, and one for storage ports

  11. Appliance Features

  12. SafeNet StorageSecure Appliance Features • Standards based • Ethernet, TCP/IP, iSCSI(Available in Release 1.1) • CIFS, NFS, HTTPS, FTP (HTTPS / FTP are Available in Release 1.1) • Plays well with others • Transparent deployment • No changes to systems, applications, or network • No change to user workflow • Transparent initial encryption and rekeying (Available in Release 1.1) • Ease of use • Can be installed with zero downtime • Secure Web-based management and robust command-line interface • Performance • Interface speeds : 1-Gb Ethernet, 10-Gb Ethernet • Less than 100-microsecond latency

  13. SafeNet StorageSecure Features • Tampering • Whenever the StorageSecure is tampered, all the keys and configuration will be deleted from the appliance and the ALM led will be turned on. • Zeroize • By deleting encryption keys, all copies of encrypted data are instantly and permanently rendered unreadable, regardless of location • Configurable security settings • Allows administrator to tune defense settings and security policy • Separate administrative roles • Full administrator • Specialty administrators • Read only administrators

  14. Secure Disaster Recovery

  15. SafeNet StorageSecure Appliance Components

  16. StorageSecure Components • StorageSecure Motherboard and CPU • Tile Mpower Motherboards and Tile64 Processor • Contains 64 Tiles (or Cores) • http://www.tilera.com • Storage Encryption Processor (SEP) • SafeNetOkemo SEP • Firmware upgradeable. • Hardware-based true random number generator (TRNG) enables high-entropy key generation • Clear text keys never leave the SEP module • Encryption boundary is physically protected by a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 chassis to prevent physical probing attacks

  17. The TILEMPower Main Board

  18. StorageSecureComponents – Cont. • StorageSecure OS • Hardened implementation of TileLinux • Not customer accessible, except through CLI commands • SafeNetStorageSecure Management Console • Management interface for KeySecure and SafeNetStorageSecure appliances • Setup Wizard: Initial configuration, recovery, and cluster configuration wizard • Smart Cards • SafeNet KeySecure • Automated backup of keys • Backup of SafeNet StorageSecure appliance configuration

  19. KeySecure Architecture • Each SafeNet StorageSecure appliance provides automated, self-contained key management. • Keys are automatically and securely replicated to additional cluster nodes. • All SafeNet StorageSecure appliances across the enterprise back up their keys to the KeySecure Appliance, providing automated, enterprise-wide key management.

  20. Key Sharing Methods Key Translation • Key translation is the process of sharing encryption keys from one SafeNet StorageSecure appliance with another SafeNet StorageSecure appliance using the KeySecure Appliance.

  21. Key Sharing Methods StorageSecure Recovery • Encryption keys and configuration information may be recovered to a replacement SafeNet StorageSecure appliance Cloning • Encryption keys and configuration information may be copied to another SafeNet StorageSecure appliance, creating a clone of the original

  22. Key Sharing Methods Cluster • The SafeNet StorageSecure appliance may be clustered, in which case all configuration data including encryption keys are shared with the SafeNet StorageSecure appliance joining the cluster (limited to 2 StorageSecures per cluster) Trustee • SafeNet StorageSecure appliances may also enter into a trust relationship with another SafeNet StorageSecure appliance. • SafeNet StorageSecure trust is a bidirectional, point-to- point link between appliances that allows encryption keys to be shared.

  23. Battery and Intrusion Detection • Battery life time is 7 years. • Different battery architecture than NetAppDataFort E-Series. • It is now possible to power off the appliance for a long period of time, power it back up and continue to work without having the “intrusion detected” activated. • In case of low battery do the following • Make sure that the StorageSecure is backed up. • RMA the existing appliance or obtain a new appliance. • Restore the configuration and keys to the newer appliance.

  24. Battery thresholds There are two battery low thresholds • First thresholdat or around 2.95V • Will light the front panel LED and create a log entry. • All other functions are available. • Second threshold at 2.5-2.6V • Will “Tamper” the box • No security functions can be performed. • The appliance will not load the configuration • The box needs to be RMA’ed to replace the low battery when the second threshold is tripped.

  25. SafeNet StorageSecure Smartcards • Authentication services • Establishes credentials • Privacy services • Encryption • Compromise resistant • Compromise of a single component will not compromise the system • Secure hardware • FIPS and Common Criteria certification

  26. Simplified Key Hierarchy

  27. System Card • Required: • Once initialized, each system card is unique to that SafeNet StorageSecure appliance • Secure communication channel between SEP and system card • Unlocks the master key • Required to start encryption services; can be removed • Card reader in the SafeNet StorageSecure appliance • No PIN is used

  28. Admin Card • Optional: • Provides two-factor authentication • Can be shared between SafeNet StorageSecure appliances • Card reader at management station • No PIN is used

  29. Recovery Cards • Required: • Secret to access the Recovery Policy Key is split and shared across Recovery Cards • Secret sharing ensures multiple people are required to access cryptographic functions • Card reader at management station and KeySecure server • PIN is required per Card.

  30. Recovery Policy Key

  31. Quorum of Recovery Cards • Required to perform critical operations • Quorum options: • 2 out of 5 (default) • 3 out of 5 • 2 out of 3

  32. Ignition

  33. Lesson Summary • In this lesson, you should have learned to: • Describe the various SafeNet StorageSecure models • Describe SafeNet StorageSecure components and features

  34. Module Summary • In this module, you should have learned to: • Describe data security standards and principles • Provide an overview of SafeNet StorageSecure • Describe SafeNet StorageSecure components and features
