Remove trust quorum shares from sled agent requests#1375
Merged
Conversation
The primary motivator behind this was to avoid accidentally logging all the trust quorum shares from RSS, so we include some relatively heavy-handed machinery to minimize the chances of reintroducing that in the future.

Thanks for fixing this security hole and putting in some safeguards @jgallagher. Logged secret shares are the new logged passwords :)

What does the Def suffix stand for?

"Definition", I think; this is from https://serde.rs/remote-derive.html. In this case we don't need remote derive because we control the original type, but we choose to use it because the original type intentionally doesn't derive Serialize.

Ah, cool it comes from serde example. Stick with it then!

There are two structural changes here that I believe are correct regardless of the logging issue:
SledAgentRequest. It's still sent alongsideSledAgentRequestwhen RSS initializes a remote sled, but not as part of the same structure.If you think the avoidance of
#[derive(Serialize)]and the use of thedanger_serialize_*functions is overboard, I'm certainly not wedded to them, but I think they're a reasonable starting point for discussion in terms of avoiding accidentally reintroducing leakage of the shares.
