RFC: Supporting Flexible Checksums

Status: Implemented

We can't currently update the S3 SDK because we don't support the new "Flexible Checksums" feature. This RFC describes this new feature and details how we should implement it in smithy-rs.

What is the "Flexible Checksums" feature?

S3 has previously supported MD5 checksum validation of data. Now, it supports more checksum algorithms like CRC32, CRC32C, SHA-1, and SHA-256. This validation is available when putting objects to S3 and when getting them from S3. For more information, see this AWS News Blog post.

Implementing Checksums

Checksum callbacks were introduced as a result of the acceptance of RFC0013 and this RFC proposes a refactor to those callbacks, as well as several new wrappers for SdkBody that will provide new functionality.

Refactoring aws-smithy-checksums

TLDR; This refactor of aws-smithy-checksums:

  • Removes the "callback" terminology: As a word, "callback" doesn't carry any useful information, and doesn't aid in understanding.

  • Removes support for the BodyCallback API: Instead of adding checksum callbacks to a body, we're going to use a "body wrapping" instead. "Body wrapping" is demonstrated in the ChecksumBody, AwsChunkedBody, and ChecksumValidatedBody sections.

    NOTE: This doesn't remove the BodyCallback trait. That will still exist, we just won't use it.

  • Updates terminology to focus on "headers" instead of "trailers": Because the types we deal with in this module are named for HTTP headers, I chose to use that terminology instead. My hope is that this will be less strange to people reading this code.

  • Adds fn checksum_algorithm_to_checksum_header_name: a function that's used in generated code to set a checksum request header.

  • Adds fn checksum_header_name_to_checksum_algorithm: a function that's used in generated code when creating a checksum-validating response body.

  • Add new checksum-related "body wrapping" HTTP body types: These are defined in the body module and will be shown later in this RFC.

ChecksumBody

When creating a checksum-validated request with an in-memory request body, we can read the body, calculate a checksum, and insert the checksum header, all before sending the request. When creating a checksum-validated request with a streaming request body, we don't have that luxury. Instead, we must calculate a checksum while sending the body, and append that checksum as a trailer.

We will accomplish this by wrapping the SdkBody that requires validation within a ChecksumBody. Afterwards, we'll need to wrap the ChecksumBody in yet another layer which we'll discuss in the AwsChunkedBody and AwsChunkedBodyOptions section.

ChecksumValidatedBody

Users may request checksum validation for response bodies. That capability is provided by ChecksumValidatedBody, which will calculate a checksum as the response body is being read. Once all data has been read, the calculated checksum is compared to a precalculated checksum set during body creation. If the checksums don't match, then the body will emit an error.

// In aws-smithy-checksums/src/body.rs

AwsChunkedBody and AwsChunkedBodyOptions

In order to send a request with checksum trailers, we must use an AWS-specific content encoding called aws-chunked. This encoding requires that we:

  • Divide the original body content into one or more chunks. For our purposes we only ever use one chunk.
  • Append a hexadecimal chunk size header to each chunk.
  • Suffix each chunk with a CRLF (carriage return line feed).
  • Send a 0 and CRLF to close the original body content section.
  • Send trailers as part of the request body, suffixing each with a CRLF.
  • Send a final CRLF to close the request body.

As an example, Sending a regular request body with a SHA-256 checksum would look similar to this:

PUT SOMEURL HTTP/1.1
x-amz-checksum-sha256: ZOyIygCyaOW6GjVnihtTFtIS9PNmskdyMlNKiuyjfzw=
Content-Length: 11
...

Hello world

and the aws-chunked version would look like this:

PUT SOMEURL HTTP/1.1
x-amz-trailer: x-amz-checksum-sha256
x-amz-decoded-content-length: 11
Content-Encoding: aws-chunked
Content-Length: 87
...

B\r\n
Hello world\r\n
0\r\n
x-amz-checksum-sha256:ZOyIygCyaOW6GjVnihtTFtIS9PNmskdyMlNKiuyjfzw=\r\n
\r\n

NOTES:

  • In the second example, B is the hexadecimal representation of 11.
  • Authorization and other headers are omitted from the examples above for brevity.
  • When using aws-chunked content encoding, S3 requires that we send the x-amz-decoded-content-length with the length of the original body content.

This encoding scheme is performed by AwsChunkedBody and configured with AwsChunkedBodyOptions.

Sigv4 Update

When sending checksum-verified requests with a streaming body, we must update the usual signing process. Instead of signing the request based on the request body's checksum, we must sign it with a special header instead:

Authorization: <computed authorization header value using "STREAMING-UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD-TRAILER">
x-amz-content-sha256: STREAMING-UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD-TRAILER

Setting STREAMING-UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD-TRAILER tells the signer that we're sending an unsigned streaming body that will be followed by trailers.

We can achieve this by:

  • Adding a new variant to SignableBody:
    /// A signable HTTP request body
    #[derive(Debug, Clone, Eq, PartialEq)]
    #[non_exhaustive]
    pub enum SignableBody<'a> {
        // existing variants have been omitted for brevity...
    
        /// An unsigned payload with trailers
        ///
        /// StreamingUnsignedPayloadTrailer is used for streaming requests where the contents of the
        /// body cannot be known prior to signing **AND** which include HTTP trailers.
        StreamingUnsignedPayloadTrailer,
    }
  • Updating the CanonicalRequest::payload_hash method to include the new SignableBody variant:
    fn payload_hash<'b>(body: &'b SignableBody<'b>) -> Cow<'b, str> {
        // Payload hash computation
        //
        // Based on the input body, set the payload_hash of the canonical request:
        // Either:
        // - compute a hash
        // - use the precomputed hash
        // - use `UnsignedPayload`
        // - use `StreamingUnsignedPayloadTrailer`
        match body {
            SignableBody::Bytes(data) => Cow::Owned(sha256_hex_string(data)),
            SignableBody::Precomputed(digest) => Cow::Borrowed(digest.as_str()),
            SignableBody::UnsignedPayload => Cow::Borrowed(UNSIGNED_PAYLOAD),
            SignableBody::StreamingUnsignedPayloadTrailer => {
                Cow::Borrowed(STREAMING_UNSIGNED_PAYLOAD_TRAILER)
            }
        }
    }
  • (in generated code) Inserting the SignableBody into the request property bag when making a checksum-verified streaming request:
    if self.checksum_algorithm.is_some() {
        request
            .properties_mut()
            .insert(aws_sig_auth::signer::SignableBody::StreamingUnsignedPayloadTrailer);
    }

It's possible to send aws-chunked requests where each chunk is signed individually. Because this feature isn't strictly necessary for flexible checksums, I've avoided implementing it.

Inlineables

In order to avoid writing lots of Rust in Kotlin, I have implemented request and response building functions as inlineables:

  • Building checksum-validated requests with in-memory request bodies:
    // In aws/rust-runtime/aws-inlineable/src/streaming_body_with_checksum.rs
    /// Given a `&mut http::request::Request`, and checksum algorithm name, calculate a checksum and
    /// then modify the request to include the checksum as a header.
    pub fn build_checksum_validated_request(
        request: &mut http::request::Request<aws_smithy_http::body::SdkBody>,
        checksum_algorithm: &str,
    ) -> Result<(), aws_smithy_http::operation::BuildError> {
        let data = request.body().bytes().unwrap_or_default();
    
        let mut checksum = aws_smithy_checksums::new_checksum(checksum_algorithm);
        checksum
            .update(data)
            .map_err(|err| aws_smithy_http::operation::BuildError::Other(err))?;
        let checksum = checksum
            .finalize()
            .map_err(|err| aws_smithy_http::operation::BuildError::Other(err))?;
    
        request.headers_mut().insert(
            aws_smithy_checksums::checksum_algorithm_to_checksum_header_name(checksum_algorithm),
            aws_smithy_types::base64::encode(&checksum[..])
                .parse()
                .expect("base64-encoded checksums are always valid header values"),
        );
    
        Ok(())
    }
  • Building checksum-validated requests with streaming request bodies:
    /// Given an `http::request::Builder`, `SdkBody`, and a checksum algorithm name, return a
    /// `Request<SdkBody>` with checksum trailers where the content is `aws-chunked` encoded.

        let checksum_trailer_name = body.trailer_name();
        let aws_chunked_body_options = aws_http::content_encoding::AwsChunkedBodyOptions::new()
            .with_stream_length(original_body_size as usize)
            .with_trailer_len(body.trailer_length() as usize);

            )
            .header(

                aws_http::content_encoding::header_value::AWS_CHUNKED.as_bytes(),

  • Building checksum-validated responses:

    }
    
    /// Given the name of a checksum algorithm and a `HeaderMap`, extract the checksum value from the
    /// corresponding header as `Some(Bytes)`. If the header is unset, return `None`.

    }

Codegen

Codegen will be updated to insert the appropriate inlineable functions for operations that are tagged with the @httpchecksum trait. Some operations will require an MD5 checksum fallback if the user hasn't set a checksum themselves.

Users also have the option of supplying a precalculated checksum of their own. This is already handled by our current header insertion logic and won't require updating the existing implementation. Because this checksum validation behavior is AWS-specific, it will be defined in SDK codegen.

Implementation Checklist

  • Implement codegen for building checksum-validated requests:
    • In-memory request bodies
      • Support MD5 fallback behavior for services that enable it.
    • Streaming request bodies
  • Implement codegen for building checksum-validated responses:
