This commit addresses a maintenance / automation problem when MinIO-KES
is deployed on bare-metal. In orchestrated env. the orchestrator (K8S)
will make sure that `n` KES servers (IPs) are available via the same DNS
name. There it is sufficient to provide just one endpoint.
This commit adds a new admin API for creating master keys.
An admin client can send a POST request to:
```
/minio/admin/v3/kms/key/create?key-id=<keyID>
```
The name / ID of the new key is specified as request
query parameter `key-id=<ID>`.
Creating new master keys requires KES - it does not work with
the native Vault KMS (deprecated) nor with a static master key
(deprecated).
Further, this commit removes the `UpdateKey` method from the `KMS`
interface. This method is not needed and not used anymore.
This commit changes the data key generation such that
if a MinIO server/nodes tries to generate a new DEK
but the particular master key does not exist - then
MinIO asks KES to create a new master key and then
requests the DEK again.
From now on, a SSE-S3 master key must not be created
explicitly via: `kes key create <key-name>`.
Instead, it is sufficient to just set the env. var.
```
export MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_NAME=<key-name>
```
However, the MinIO identity (mTLS client certificate)
must have the permission to access the `/v1/key/create/`
API. Therefore, KES policy for MinIO must look similar to:
```
[
/v1/key/create/<key-name-pattern>
/v1/key/generate/<key-name-pattern>
/v1/key/decrypt/<key-name-pattern>
]
```
However, in our guides we already suggest that.
See e.g.: https://github.com/minio/kes/wiki/MinIO-Object-Storage#kes-server-setup

The ability to create master keys on request may also be
necessary / useful in case of SSE-KMS.
This commit makes the KES client use HTTP/2
when establishing a connection to the KES server.
This is necessary since the next KES server release
will require HTTP/2.
Currently when connections to vault fail, client
perpetually retries this leads to assumptions that
the server has issues and masks the problem.
Re-purpose *crypto.Error* type to send appropriate
errors back to the client.
This commit removes github.com/minio/kes as
a dependency and implements the necessary
client-side functionality without relying
on the KES project.
This resolves the licensing issue since
KES is licensed under AGPL while MinIO
is licensed under Apache.
This commit adds support for the minio/kes KMS.
See: https://github.com/minio/kes
In particular you can configure it as KMS by:
- `export MINIO_KMS_KES_ENDPOINT=` // Server URL
- `export MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_FILE=` // TLS client private key
- `export MINIO_KMS_KES_CERT_FILE=` // TLS client certificate
- `export MINIO_KMS_KES_CA_PATH=` // Root CAs issuing server cert
- `export MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_NAME=` // The name of the (default)
master key
