Summary

Secure Build Server basic concepts

You use the Secure Build Server to build a trusted container image within a secure enclave, which is provided by IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Virtual Servers. The enclave is highly isolated, which means that software developers must use a specific API to access the Secure Build Server. Cloud administrators and the cloud provider do not have access to the Secure Build Server in the secure enclave or its contents, such as built container images. The application image created by the Secure Build Server (together with the other relevant build output such as the manifest file and the encrypted registration file) is highly trusted. It is highly trusted because the Secure Build Server cryptographically signs the application image and the manifest file and the signing keys are kept inside the secure enclaves.

To build a container image with Hyper Protect Secure Build server, you must complete these steps:

Set up a Secure Build Server instance, then use the CLI to start the build on this instance.
Secure Build Server pulls the source code from a GitHub repository, in this case from the Digital Wallet repository.
Secure Build Server uses the source code's Dockerfile to build a container image.
Secure Build Server signs the container image and pushes the container image to the IBM Container Registry or Docker Hub. Only docker.io images are signed by using DCT, and you must use Red Hat signing when using IBM Cloud® Container Registry (ICR) because ICR supports only Red Hat signing of the images. Follow the steps listed in Signing images for trusted content.
Secure Build Server creates a manifest file and signs it. The manifest file is used to verify the source of the image and the integrity of the build. It contains the source code from which the image was built as well as the build log. You can download the manifest file from the Secure Build Server, and, for example, use it for audit purposes or pass it to an auditor. The manifest file is signed by signing keys that are kept inside the secure enclave.
Secure Build Server creates an encrypted registration file, which can be used to provision an instance of the application on Hyper Protect Virtual Servers by using Bring Your Own Image (BYOI).

The Secure Build Server — Figure 1. The Hyper Protect Secure Build server

The registration file specifies the container registry, the application image, and the credentials that are required to access the container registry. The registration file is encrypted and can be decrypted by Hyper Protect Virtual Servers only.

You can download and use the encrypted registration file yourself, or you can pass it to a cloud administrator who uses the registration file and the Hyper Protect Virtual Servers CLI to provision a Hyper Protect Virtual Servers server instance with your image. The cloud administrator cannot access the information that is included in the registration file, namely the container registry credentials because the registration file is encrypted. In consequence – given access control is correctly set up for the container registry and the credentials are not exposed, the cloud administration cannot download or access the application image and any secrets that are contained in the image.

Digital wallets

As digital wallets are targeted by hackers, it is important that the digital assets be protected in an environment that is also easily accessible by the user (known as a "hot wallet"). A protected environment is an environment where both privileged admins and external threats cannot compromise the data, thru encryption and other mechanisms. In addition, the application must be built in a secure environment that uses a Secure Build process that prevents malicious actors from tampering the application code and application image. Without a Secure Build process, a malicious insider or external actor could try to manipulate the build process or the build environment.

The Digital Wallet application, Secure Bitcoin Wallet, is available here, refer the README.md in the repository for more information. The application consists of an Electrum Bitcoin Client backend and a web front end. The backend, a modified version of Electrum, runs as a JSON RPC server to maintain a bitcoin wallet by interacting with the bitcoin network. The front end runs as a web front end to interact with bitcoin users in a web browser.

Before you begin

To complete this tutorial, you need to meet the following prerequisites:

Create an IBM Cloud account.
Download and install the IBM Cloud CLI on your workstation.
Install GPG.

Task flow

To complete this solution, you walk through the following steps:

Set up the IBM Container Registry.
Set up the Hyper Protect Secure Build server.
Build the application image by using the Hyper Protect Secure Build server.
Deploy the image by using Hyper Protect Virtual Servers BYOI and run the application in a secure environment.

During this task flow, you create two Hyper Protect Virtual Servers instances: One instance for the Secure Build Server and one instance for your application.

Step 1: Set up the IBM Container Registry

For this tutorial you need to set up IBM Container Registry and create a new namespace. The container registry is used to store the built application container image in the new namespace.

1. Use the following commands to log in to IBM Cloud

ibmcloud login --sso
ibmcloud target -g default

2. Run the following command to create an API key for your user ID.

ibmcloud iam api-key-create myapikey -d "API key for HPSB tutorial"

The output displays the created API key. Make a note of the API Key value, you need it later to provide the API Key when you set up the Secure Build Server. The following snippet shows example output:

Creating API key myapikey under <your account id> as <your user id>...
OK
API key myapikey was created

Please preserve the API key! It cannot be retrieved after it is created.

ID            ApiKey-...
Name          myapikey
Description   API key for HPSB tutorial
Created At    2021-...
API Key       xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Locked        false

3. Run the following commands to install the container registry CLI plug-in and to create a new namespace `secureimages` in your container registry.

ibmcloud plugin install container-registry
ibmcloud cr region-set us-south
ibmcloud cr namespace-add secureimages

Step 2: Set up the Hyper Protect Secure Build server

Complete the steps in this procedure to set up the Secure Build Server.

1. Install the IBM Cloud CLI HPVS plug-in by running the following command:

ibmcloud plugin install hpvs

The Secure Build Server is written in Python and is tested with Python 3.6.9. To set up the Secure Build Server, you need to install python3, pip3, and the Secure Build Server on your workstation.

2. Install python3 and pip3, by running the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
python3 -m pip install -U pip

Note: This tutorial shows the commands for Ubuntu. On other platforms, use the equivalent commands to install or update python3 and pip3.

3. Use the following commands to install the Secure Build Server CLI on your workstation:

git clone git@github.com:ibm-hyper-protect/secure-build-cli.git
cd secure-build-cli
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

4. Create the Secure Build Server configuration.

Create file sbs-config.json in your current working directory (this is the directory that you created in the previous step, secure-build-cli), then add the following content:

{
  "HOSTNAME": "sbs.example.com",
  "RUNTIME_TYPE": "classic"
  "CICD_PORT": "443",
  "IMAGE_TAG": "1.3.0.13",
  "CONTAINER_NAME": "SBContainer",
  "GITHUB_KEY_FILE": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
  "GITHUB_URL": "git@github.com:IBM/secure-bitcoin-wallet.git",
  "GITHUB_BRANCH": "main",
  "IMAGE_TAG_PREFIX": "s390x-v1",
  "REPO_ID": "sbs",
  "DOCKER_REPO": "secureimages/secure-bitcoin-wallet",
  "DOCKER_USER": "iamapikey",
  "DOCKER_PASSWORD": "<your api key>",
  "DOCKER_RO_USER": "iamapikey",
  "DOCKER_RO_PASSWORD": "<your api key>",
  "DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_BASE": "False",
  "DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_BASE_SERVER": "",
  "DOCKER_BASE_SERVER": "docker.io",
  "DOCKER_PUSH_SERVER": "us.icr.io",
  "DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_PUSH_SERVER": "https://us.icr.io",
  "ENV_WHITELIST":  ["ZHSM", "APIKEY", "INSTANCE_ID", "IAM_ENDPOINT"],
  "ARG": {
    "NO_GRPC_BUILD": "1",
    "ACCESS_TOKEN": "********"
  }
}

This file defines the configuration for your Secure Build Server instance, which you create in the next steps.

Notes:

The property HOSTNAME of the HPSB server which will be used while generating certificates and communicating with the secure build server.
The property GITHUB_KEY_FILE specifies the key file (on your workstation) that contains the SSH key for your GitHub account.
The property DOCKER_REPO identifies the namespace (which you created in step 1) and the container image name to be used. Specify a value that is not used or allocated in your container registry.
Specify the value of the API key that is created in step 1 for both properties DOCKER_PASSWORD and DOCKER_RO_PASSWORD.
Specify the value of your personal access token for the property ACCESS_TOKEN. The build process uses a personal access token for github.com to avoid a build failure due to its access rate limit. For more information, see Creating a personal access token.

For a list of properties, see here.

5. Create the client certificate and client CA by running the following command:

./build.py create-client-cert --env sbs-config.json

The following snippet shows example output:

INFO:__main__:parameter file sbs-config.json renamed to sbs-config.json.2023-11-10_14-55-19.806993
INFO:root:client_certificate: generating client CA and certificate

The client certificate and CA are used for secure communication between the Secure Build Server CLI on your workstation and the Secure Build Server instance.

This command does the following:

It updates the file sbs-config.json by adding two properties: UUID and SECRET.
It creates a directory that is named .SBContainer-<uuid>.d. This directory contains the created certificates and keys.

If the file sbs-config.json is open in an editor when you run this command, reload the updated file. Do not modify the new properties UUID and SECRET.

6. Create the server certificate and server KEY by running the following command:

./build.py create-server-cert --env sbs-config.json

The following snippet shows example output:

INFO:root:server_certificate: using supplied pem files cert_directory=.SBContainer-3576faac-1a48-47dc-9702-6b46068cddf1 capath=./.SBContainer-3576faac-1a48-47dc-9702-6b46068cddf1.d/client-ca.pem cakeypath=./.SBContainer-3576faac-1a48-47dc-9702-6b46068cddf1.d/client-ca-key.pem
INFO:root:server_certificate: Generating server certificate
INFO:root:server_certificate: Successfully generated server CSR
INFO:root:server_certificate: Successfully generated server certificate

7. Run the following command to display the client certificate and CA, server certificate and KEY in base64-encoding:

./build.py instance-env --env sbs-config.json

The following snippet shows example output, including the encrypted base64-encoded values for CLIENT_CRT,CLIENT_CA, SERVER_CRT, and SERVER_KEY, which you need in the next step

INFO:root:client_certificate: using supplied pem files client_crt_key=.SBContainer-3576faac-1a48-47dc-9702-6b46068cddf1 capath=./.SBContainer-3576faac-1a48-47dc-9702-6b46068cddf1.d/client-ca.pem cakeypath=./.SBContainer-3576faac-1a48-47dc-9702-6b46068cddf1.d/client-ca-key.pem
INFO:__main__:

****** Copy below environment variables and use in instance-create command. ******


-e CLIENT_CRT=...  -e CLIENT_CA=... -e SERVER_CRT=... -e SERVER_KEY=...

8. Provision the Secure Build Server instance

First, copy the encrypted registration definition for the Secure Build image into a new file named secure_build.asc. The content of the encrypted registration definition is located here.

Then, use the following command line to provision a new instance of the Secure Build Server. Insert the values for the environment variables CLIENT_CRT and CLIENT_CA, SERVER_CRT and SERVER_KEY taken from the output of the preceding command.

ibmcloud hpvs instance-create SBContainer lite-s dal13 --rd-path "secure_build.asc" -i 1.3.0.13 --hostname sbs.example.com -e CLIENT_CRT=... -e CLIENT_CA=... -e SERVER_CRT=... -e SERVER_KEY=...

SBContainer defines the name of the instance to be created, lite-s is the pricing plan, and dal13 is the location - you can use a different one. Ensure that you use the image tag 1.3.0.13 because this tag references the up-to-date version of the Secure Build Server. sbs.example.com is the server hostname that was specified in the sbs-config.json file. For more information about available pricing plans and regions and datacenters, see here.

9. Display your Secure Build Server instance.

To view information about the Secure Build Server instance and other Hyper Protect Virtual Servers instances that you have provisioned, use the following command line:

ibmcloud hpvs instances

The command displays detailed information about the Hyper Protect Virtual Servers instances you have provisioned.

The following snippet shows example output for a Secure Build Server instance that is being provisioned:

Name                     SBContainer
CRN                      crn:v1:bluemix:public:hpvs:dal13:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx::

The following snippet shows example output for a Secure Build Server instance that is successfully provisioned and can be used for the next steps. Make a note of the value of the property Public IP address:

Name                  SBContainer
CRN                   crn:v1:bluemix:public:hpvs:dal13:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx::

10. Update the /etc/hosts file

Update with the new hostname (in the case of certificate expiration, you need not update the hostname).

Step 3: Build the application image by using the Secure Build Server

Now, build the application container image.

1. Check the status of your Secure Build Server instance.

Run the following command to check the status of your Secure Build Server instance:

./build.py status --env sbs-config.json

The following snippet shows example output. Here, the command completes successfully, and the status field is empty.

INFO:__main__:status: response={
    "status": ""
}

The following snippet shows example output for the case where the command does not complete successfully. This message typically indicates that /etc/hosts is not set correctly:

INFO:__main__:build: status NewConnectionError e=HTTPSConnectionPool(host='test.ibm.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /image (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f3f00dc0780>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))

2. Initialize the configuration for your Secure Build Server instance.

Use the following command to initialize the configuration for your Secure Build Server instance:

./build.py init --env sbs-config.json

The following command shows example output of the command:

INFO:__main__:init: response={
    "status": "OK"
}

3. Build the application image.

To build the application image, run the following command:

./build.py build --env sbs-config.json

This command starts the build on your Secure Build Server instance. It displays the following output:

INFO:__main__:build: response={
    "status": "OK: async build started"
}

4. Check the status of your build.

Use the following command to display the status of your build:

./build.py status --env sbs-config.json

You can repeat this command to update the latest build status.

The following example output is displayed for a build that is in progress:

INFO:__main__:status: response={
    "build_image_tag": "1.3.0.13",
    "build_name": "",
    "image_tag": "",
    "manifest_key_gen": "",
    "manifest_public_key": "",
    "status": "github cloned"
}

The following example output is for a build, which failed due to a container registry login problem:

INFO:__main__:status: response={
    "build_image_tag": "1.3.0.13",
    "build_name": "",
    "image_tag": "",
    "manifest_key_gen": "",
    "manifest_public_key": "",
    "root_ssh_enabled": false,
    "status": "exiting due to a non-zero return value: 1, cmd: docker login --username <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD> docker.io"
}

5. Check the build log.

To display the build log, run the following command:

./build.py log --log build --env sbs-config.json

This command displays the build log. You can repeatedly run this command during the build to see the latest updates to the build log.

6. Wait until the build completes.

Run the following command again to display the status of your build:

./build.py status --env sbs-config.json

The following is example output for a build that completed successfully (indicated by the success status):

INFO:__main__:status: response={
    "build_image_tag": "1.3.0.13",
    "build_name": "us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350",
    "image_tag": "s390x-v1-ad52e76",
    "manifest_key_gen": "soft_crypto",
    "manifest_public_key": "manifest.us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350-public.pem",
    "status": "success"
}

Make a note of the image_tag property. The image tag that was generated by the build based on the image tag prefix you defined in the configuration file. You use this image tag later to provision your application instance.

The Secure Build Server builds successfully, signed your application's container image, and pushed it to the container registry (you can see the image with the image tag in your container registry secureimages). The Secure Build Server has also created a manifest file and an encrypted registration file, which you can use to provision the application instance.

The manifest file

The Secure Build Server creates a signed manifest file for each successful build for audit purposes. You can verify the source and integrity of the build and the built image or can pass the manifest file to an auditor to do so. For the purposes of this tutorial, this is discretionary, and the next two steps are optional and can be skipped.

7. Download the manifest file.

Download the manifest file from your Secure Build Server instance by using the following command:

./build.py get-manifest --env sbs-config.json  --verify-manifest

The following snippet shows example output that is displayed by the command:

INFO:__main__:get-manifest manifest_name: manifest.us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350
INFO:__main__:verify_manifest: manifest_name=manifest.us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350 test=0
INFO:__main__:verify=OK

The command downloads and stores a set of files in your current working directory, for example:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 user user 3021932 Feb 10 16:37 manifest.us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350.tbz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 user user     512 Feb 10 16:37 manifest.us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350.sig

8. Extract the manifest file.

Extract the archive file that was retrieved in the previous step by running the following command:

tar -xvf manifest.us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350.sig.tbz

This extracts the following expected output:

manifest.us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350.tbz
manifest.us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350.sig

Extract the contents of the manifest file:

tar -xvf manifest.us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350.tbz

This creates a git directory (including the snapshot of the application's Git repository that is used for the build), and a data directory, which includes a file build.json (that contains the build status) and the build.log.

Saving the state of your Hyper Protect Secure Build server instance

As an optional step (which you can skip), you can download a state image from your Secure Build Server instance. To build the image in another, new Secure Build Server instance (for example, after the original instance is deleted or corrupted), you need the state image to recover the signing key and additional internal states of the Secure Build Server instance. See here for information about how you can restore the state image and how you can save a state image to Cloud Object Storage. In this tutorial, you download the state image only, so it is available in the current working directory for possible later use.

9. Retrieve the state image.

To download the state image, run the following command:

./build.py get-state-image --env sbs-config.json

This command creates an encrypted file in your current directory and prints the file name in the output, for example:

INFO:__main__:state:name: us.icr.io.secureimages.secure-bitcoin-wallet.s390x-v1-ad52e76.2023-11-10_15-37-37.178350

Step 4: Deploy your application by using Hyper Protect Virtual Servers BYOI and run the application in a secure environment

Now it's time to deploy and run your newly built application. To do so, you download the encrypted registration file that was created during the build and use the Hyper Protect Virtual Servers BYOI feature to provision a Hyper Protect Virtual Servers instance for your application.

1. Retrieve the encrypted registration file

First, download the encrypted registration file for your application container image:

./build.py get-config-json --env sbs-config.json --key-id secure-build-ad52e76-1

The command creates a GPG key to sign the file. The parameter key-id is used to generate the key UID. Provide a unique value that comprises the image tag retrieved in step 3, for example, secure-build-ad52e76-1:

While the command runs, you are asked multiple times for a passphrase. First, enter the passphrase twice for key creation, then again to sign the file.

The command creates the file sbs.enc file in your current directory and prints the following output:

INFO:__main__:a json config file has been written to sbs.enc.

The encrypted registration file sbs.enc contains the information that is used by Hyper Protect Virtual Servers to provision a server instance with your application's container image. The file includes the repository_name as well as the container registry credentials. As the file is encrypted, you can pass it on to a cloud administrator (for example to provision the service instance) without exposing this information.

2. Create the Hyper Protect Virtual Servers instance for your application.

Use the Hyper Protect Virtual Servers BYOI feature to provision a Hyper Protect Virtual Servers instance for your application container image. To do so, you need the image tag from step 10.

Run the following command to provision the Hyper Protect Virtual Servers instance:

image_tag=s390x-v1-ad52e76
ibmcloud hpvs instance-create securewallet lite-s dal13 --rd-path sbs.enc --hostname sbs.example.com -i $image_tag

securewallet defines the name of the instance to be created, lite-s is the pricing plan, and dal13 is the location - you can use a different value for these parameters.

This command starts instance provisioning and displays the following output:

OK
Provisioning request for service instance 'crn:v1:bluemix:public:hpvs:dal13:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx::' was accepted.
 To check the provisioning status run:
 ibmcloud hpvs instance crn:v1:bluemix:public:hpvs:dal13:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx::

Use the command listed in the output to check the provisioning status of your service instance:

ibmcloud hpvs instance crn:v1:bluemix:public:hpvs:dal13:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx::

Wait until your service instance is successfully provisioned. After the Hyper Protect Virtual Servers instance is provisioned, you can view it in your IBM Cloud resource list.

The ibmcloud hpvs instance command prints detailed information about the instance that includes its public IP address. Make a note of this IP address and proceed to the final step of our tutorial.

3. Run and use the Secure Bitcoin Wallet application.

You can now use the Secure Bitcoin Wallet application: In a browser window, open URL https://<your instance's public IP address>/electrum.

Follow the description and instructions here to use the wallet.

Here's an example screen capture of the wallet:
