Matthew Heon 5e94c95ad0 Move to deterministic network setup order
This was implemented by containers/netavark #1369; this commit
completes the process by wiring it into Podman. We now respect
the CLI order for configured networks - if a user passes
`--net net1,net2` we guarantee that net1 will be configured
before net2.

For containers created before this patch, we don't retain enough
information to configure networks in CLI order, so we use
alphabetical order instead to still guarantee consistency.

No breaking API changes have been made, but we do add a new
field to supplement the existing map to (optionally) provide
ordering information. The Podman CLI will always pass this.
Existing applications that do not will, again, receive]
deterministic ordering based on an alphabetical sort of network
names.

This requires the latest version of Netavark to work properly.

OCIcrypt Library

The ocicrypt library is the OCI image spec implementation of container image encryption. More details of the spec can be seen in the OCI repository. The purpose of this library is to encode spec structures and consts in code, as well as provide a consistent implementation of image encryption across container runtimes and build tools.

Consumers of OCIcrypt:

Usage

There are various levels of usage for this library. The main consumers of these would be runtime/build tools, and a more specific use would be in the ability to extend cryptographic function.

Runtime/Build tool usage

The general exposed interface a runtime/build tool would use, would be to perform encryption or decryption of layers:

package "github.com/containers/ocicrypt"
func EncryptLayer(ec *config.EncryptConfig, encOrPlainLayerReader io.Reader, desc ocispec.Descriptor) (io.Reader, EncryptLayerFinalizer, error)
func DecryptLayer(dc *config.DecryptConfig, encLayerReader io.Reader, desc ocispec.Descriptor, unwrapOnly bool) (io.Reader, digest.Digest, error)

The settings/parameters to these functions can be specified via creation of an encryption config with the github.com/containers/ocicrypt/config package. We note that because setting of annotations and other fields of the layer descriptor is done through various means in different runtimes/build tools, it is the responsibility of the caller to still ensure that the layer descriptor follows the OCI specification (i.e. encoding, setting annotations, etc.).

Crypto Agility and Extensibility

The implementation for both symmetric and asymmetric encryption used in this library are behind 2 main interfaces, which users can extend if need be. These are in the following packages:

  • github.com/containers/ocicrypt/blockcipher - LayerBlockCipher interface for block ciphers
  • github.com/containers/ocicrypt/keywrap - KeyWrapper interface for key wrapping

We note that adding interfaces here is risky outside the OCI spec is not recommended, unless for very specialized and confined usecases. Please open an issue or PR if there is a general usecase that could be added to the OCI spec.

Keyprovider interface

As part of the keywrap interface, there is a keyprovider implementation that allows one to call out to a binary or service.

Security Issues

We consider security issues related to this library critical. Please report and security related issues by emailing maintainers in the MAINTAINERS file.
