Transcript

  1. Buzz is catching on, and so is technology Neatly packs

    multiple applications on one operating system Gives you way to compose clusters, manage them and play with them at the scale of 100,000 Docker Docker Docker
  2.  A very secure system which is not user-friendly will

    not be secure for long. (because people will find a way to go around it)  Usable Security is a principle of building security systems while considering human workflows.  Speed  Efficiency  Learnability  Memorability  User Preference Idea of Usable Security
  3. Its going to be everywhere  Your Desktop, Workstation &

    Cloud Infrastructure.  Your Production, Development & Testing Cycles. It is going to be used by everyone  Your team, clients, and partners.  Independent developers and teams who are using your images. We should definitely think about #docker-security Docker Space
  4.  How safe is docker isolation ?  If some

    malicious user has docker daemon access, what to do ?  Can I use security policies over docker ?  SELINUX,APPARMOR,GRSEC  Can I really trust docker image I install ?  Can i ssh to docker container ? Lets think..
  5. Every process must be able to access only the information

    and resources that are necessary for its legitimate purpose - Diogo Mónica, Docker  Linux namespaces (isolated view of system.)  Cgroups (limit and isolate the resource usage.)  Linux Security Modules (Apparmor,SELINUX)  Capabilities  Per-container ulimit  User-namespaces: root inside is not root outside  Seccomp: Individual syscall filtering (like chrome sandbox) Enter Least Privilege
  6. Cgroups, ulimit & User Namespaces  Docker root is not

    real root. (User Namespaces)  Docker ulimit  With cgroups, you can control on the resource usage of container docker run --lxc-conf=lxc.cgroup.cpuset.cpus = 0,1 ..
  7.  Root has certain capabilities, but we don’t want our

    container to have all those capabilities  Each container can have some of the capabilities of root, but not all.  Mounting operations  Access to raw sockets (prevent opening privileged ports, spoofing)  Some file system operations (mkdev, chown, chattrs)  Loading kernel modules Capabilites
  8.  man 7 capabilities  Docker by default drops some

    capabilities  sys_admin, sys_time, sys_nice,..... Capabilites docker run –cap-drop=CHOWN ... docker run –cap-add=MKNOD ...
  9. Seccomp & Syscalls System Calls OS Utilities IP Tables Other

    User Programs Device Drivers NetFilter Other Kernel Components
  10. Seccomp & Syscalls  You can block system calls from

    seccomp. Quite like sandboxing.  Supports syscall filtering by using BPF  SIGKILL signal to process, who made blocked syscall docker run –lxc-conf=common.seccomp ...
  11. More...  Combine Docker with AppArmor/SELinux/TOMOYO Profiles  These profiles

    help you in deciding minimal privilege for each application.  Preventing permission escalation and unauthorized information disclosure (or worse).  Within the container configuration the related AppArmor profile can be defined with lxc.aa_profile. docker run –security-opt label:type:svirt_apche ...
  12.  GRSEC and PaX  Use a hardened Linux kernel

    for host, with kernel patches.  User Mappings  Map user/group ids  lxc.id_map = u 0 1000000 65536  lxc.id_map = g 0 1000000 65536  Couple it with docker run –lxc-conf= More...
  13.  Trusted Cross Platform content distribution  Trusted Client –

    Server Interaction  Publisher signed content  Publisher Key validates integrity of content  Platform Agnostic to distribute any content https://github.com/docker/notary Docker Notary
  14. Two keys are generated when publisher first pushes image. 

    Tagging Key  Exists for each new repository that publisher owns  Can be shared with collaborators easily.  Offline Key  Users see this key as official publisher’s key  Important in establishing trust.  Only needed when creating new repository or rotating existing repository Publisher’s View
  15.  Once Images are signed, TUF maintains ensures  Integrity

     & Freshness of Content  Notion of Timestamp Key  Needed to ensure freshness guarantees  Generated at remote server.  Docker maintains it for you http://theupdateframework.com/ Trust Update Framework
  16.  Security Script that checks for dozens of common best-

    practices around deploying Docker containers in produtions. https://dockerbench.com DockerBench
  17. Unified profiles, security requirements, security needs of application Runc –

    all isolation profiles in one file, what apparmor, selinux profiles, seccomp , whitelisting and blacklisting, mount lables Bootchain, selinux, authentication Dockersecurity, dockerbench,sharethebestpracticesnotjustnameit Usable security usable signing, secure system distribution survivable key compromise, freshest gurantees,
  18. Key distribution at large scale Fuse filesystems certificate to the

    server. And server has all acls Distributed key management problem, encrypted storage at rest Managing security, certificates Batteries included removable, jet spring attacks, runtime integrity docker run -p 80:80 --rm registry:5000/dolly
