Dependency-light key store and envelope encryption for Stratara. Provides a production IKeyStore with KEK-wrapped, versioned per-scope data-encryption keys (rotation, revoke, and crypto-shred), a file-backed master-key provider, and an AES-GCM blob encryptor — referencing only Stratara.Abstractions + BCL crypto. No EF Core, RabbitMQ, Redis, or cloud SDKs in the graph.

Quick start

// appsettings / secrets:
// "Stratara": { "KeyStore": { "MasterKeyBase64": "<openssl rand -base64 32>", "StorePath": "/var/run/secrets/keystore.json" } }

builder.Services.AddStrataraFileKeyStore(builder.Configuration);

// Encrypt a blob bound to a tenant scope + purpose:
var scope = new KeyScope(DataSensitivityLevel.TenantScoped, TenantId: "acme-corp");
await using var encrypted = await encryptor.EncryptAsync(plainStream, scope, purpose: "attachment");
await using var plain = await encryptor.DecryptAsync(encrypted, scope);

What's inside

  • EnvelopeFileKeyStore (IKeyStore) — random 32-byte DEK per scope/version, KEK-wrapped with AES-256-GCM (wrap AAD bound to the key id, so a wrapped DEK can't be moved to another scope). The store file holds only wrapped DEKs + metadata, never plaintext. RotateAsync adds a version; RevokeAsync makes one version undecryptable; EraseScopeAsync deletes all versions for a scope (GDPR Art. 17 crypto-shred); MarkSubjectErasedAsync records an erased subject in the file, and every scope it covers is refused with KeyScopeErasedException from then on. DEKs are zeroed after use; the store file is written 0600 on Unix. Every process sharing one file runs the same release.
  • FileMasterKeyProvider (IMasterKeyProvider) — KEK from MasterKeyBase64, validated to decode to exactly 32 bytes (AES-256) at startup. The custody seam: swap for an HSM / KMS / vault provider later without touching the stored data.
  • AesGcmSecureBlobEncryptor (ISecureBlobEncryptor) — AES-GCM stream encryption with a purpose-bound AAD ({tenant}||{purpose}) and a versioned, self-describing format (v2 leading byte). Reads legacy streams without the version byte; set Stratara:BlobEncryption:LegacyBlobsCarryPurpose to match the legacy layout.
  • DummyKeyStore — Development-only deterministic fallback (throws outside Development).

Key id schema

{level}:{tenant}:{user}:v{N} — e.g. TenantScoped:acme-corp::v1. GetOrCreateCurrentKeyAsync returns the highest non-revoked version (creating v1 if none); RotateAsync creates v{N+1}.

An erasure shreds every key that names the subject, and nothing stopped the next encryption for that subject
from creating a new one: a key store asked for a scope it does not hold creates a first version. A job, a request
in flight or a second process that encrypted for an erased subject afterwards got a fresh key, and what it wrote
stayed readable for good. The key store now records an erased subject and refuses to create a key for it again.

### Added

- **`IKeyStore.MarkSubjectErasedAsync(KeySubject)`** records that a tenant or user has been erased. It has a
 default implementation that throws `NotSupportedException`, so an existing key store still compiles.
- **`KeySubject`** names the tenant or user, and `KeySubject.Covers(KeyScope)` states which keys belong to its
 erasure: for a tenant, a key of any level that names it; for a user, a user-level key that names it.
- **`KeyScopeErasedException`** (an `InvalidOperationException`) is what a key store throws for such a scope. It
 carries the refused `Scope`.

### Changed

- **An encryption for an erased subject fails.** After a subject's erasure, `GetOrCreateCurrentKeyAsync` and
 `RotateAsync` throw `KeyScopeErasedException` for every scope the subject covers, whether or not it ever held a
 key, and create nothing. The blob encryptor, the encrypting settings store and the field-encrypting serializer
 pass it through. Code that erased a subject and then wrote encrypted data for it again now sees the exception;
 the mark is permanent and cannot be lifted. Revoking every version of a scope is not an erasure and marks nothing.
- **`ISubjectEraser` marks the subject before it sweeps any plane**, so an encryption racing the erasure
 either creates its key first, and that key is shredded with the rest, or is refused. A key store that cannot mark
 a subject leaves the erasure as before and logs `SubjectNotMarkable` (112009).
- **The file-backed key store writes format version 2**, which holds the marks, and refuses to open a file in a
 newer format than it knows. `InMemoryKeyStore` refuses an erased subject as the file store does; `DummyKeyStore`
 refuses to mark one, as it refuses every erasure operation.

**Upgrading:**
- **Upgrade every process that shares a key store file in one step.** A process on an earlier release reads a
 version-2 file, ignores the marks, creates keys for an erased subject and drops the marks the next time it writes
 the file. A version-1 file needs no migration. Rolling back is possible but loses the marks on the first write.
- **Map `KeyScopeErasedException` to your answer for data that is gone**, if a request can reach an encryption for
 a subject after its erasure.
- **A key store of your own implements `MarkSubjectErasedAsync`**, refusing in `GetOrCreateCurrentKeyAsync` and
 `RotateAsync` every scope a marked subject `Covers`. Without it the erasure warns and the gap stays open.
