From 9fbb20a531161652143028cde333429fe03b0343 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard van der Hoff <1389908+richvdh@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2019 17:33:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Stop hardcoding trust of old matrix.org key (#5374) There are a few changes going on here: * We make checking the signature on a key server response optional: if no verify_keys are specified, we trust to TLS to validate the connection. * We change the default config so that it does not require responses to be signed by the old key. * We replace the old 'perspectives' config with 'trusted_key_servers', which is also formatted slightly differently. * We emit a warning to the logs every time we trust a key server response signed by the old key. --- changelog.d/5374.feature | 1 + docs/sample_config.yaml | 43 +++- synapse/config/key.py | 228 +++++++++++++++--- synapse/crypto/keyring.py | 74 +++--- tests/crypto/test_keyring.py | 43 ++-- .../test_matrix_federation_agent.py | 1 + 6 files changed, 294 insertions(+), 96 deletions(-) create mode 100644 changelog.d/5374.feature diff --git a/changelog.d/5374.feature b/changelog.d/5374.feature new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..17937637ab --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/5374.feature @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Replace the `perspectives` configuration section with `trusted_key_servers`, and make validating the signatures on responses optional (since TLS will do this job for us). diff --git a/docs/sample_config.yaml b/docs/sample_config.yaml index 2f37e71601..a2e815ea52 100644 --- a/docs/sample_config.yaml +++ b/docs/sample_config.yaml @@ -952,12 +952,43 @@ signing_key_path: "CONFDIR/SERVERNAME.signing.key" # The trusted servers to download signing keys from. # -#perspectives: -# servers: -# "matrix.org": -# verify_keys: -# "ed25519:auto": -# key: "Noi6WqcDj0QmPxCNQqgezwTlBKrfqehY1u2FyWP9uYw" +# When we need to fetch a signing key, each server is tried in parallel. +# +# Normally, the connection to the key server is validated via TLS certificates. +# Additional security can be provided by configuring a `verify key`, which +# will make synapse check that the response is signed by that key. +# +# This setting supercedes an older setting named `perspectives`.
