Anbox Stream Gateway¶
Anbox Streaming Gateway is using cryptographic technology for:
TLS transport encryption
Mutual TLS based authentication
Token based authentication
TLS transport encryption¶
All network endpoints exposed by the Anbox Stream Gateway are secured with TLS using an 4096 bit RSA key. The Anbox Stream Gateway strictly enforces TLS 1.3 or later and does not provide backward compatibility with older TLS versions.
Mutual TLS based authentication¶
To exchange messages with the Anbox Stream Agent through the NATS message queue, the Anbox Stream Gateway uses a CA certificate signed by a 4096 bit RSA key to ensure trust with the NATS server.
Token based authentication¶
Users can generate API tokens to authenticate with the HTTP API provided by the Anbox Stream Gateway. For the API tokens, a scope-limited Macaroon is used. The token is signed with a HMAC using SHA-256 (HS256) and a 64 byte secret key. The macaroon.New method is used internally to generate the JWT token.
