I created the following resource to encrypt 'All' disk of a VM, and it worked fine so far:
resource "azurerm_virtual_machine_extension" "vm_encry_win" {
count = "${var.vm_encry_os_type == "Windows" ? 1 : 0}"
name = "${var.vm_encry_name}"
location = "${var.vm_encry_location}"
resource_group_name = "${var.vm_encry_rg_name}"
virtual_machine_name = "${var.vm_encry_vm_name}"
publisher = "${var.vm_encry_publisher}"
type = "${var.vm_encry_type}"
type_handler_version = "${var.vm_encry_type_handler_version == "" ? "2.2" : var.vm_encry_type_handler_version}"
auto_upgrade_minor_version = "${var.vm_encry_auto_upgrade_minor_version}"
tags = "${var.vm_encry_tags}"
settings = <<SETTINGS
{
"EncryptionOperation": "${var.vm_encry_operation}",
"KeyVaultURL": "${var.vm_encry_kv_vault_uri}",
"KeyVaultResourceId": "${var.vm_encry_kv_vault_id}",
"KeyEncryptionKeyURL": "${var.vm_encry_kv_key_url}",
"KekVaultResourceId": "${var.vm_encry_kv_vault_id}",
"KeyEncryptionAlgorithm": "${var.vm_encry_key_algorithm}",
"VolumeType": "${var.vm_encry_volume_type}"
}
SETTINGS
}
When i ran the first time - ADE encryption is done for both OS and data disk.
However, When I re-run terraform using terraform plan or terraform apply, it wants to replace all my data disks I have already created, like the following screenshot illustrates.
I do not know how to solve it. And my already created disks should not be replaced.
I check on the lines of ignore_chnages
lifecycle {
ignore_changes = [encryption_settings]
}
I am not sure where to add or does this reference actually solves the problem?
Which resource block should i add them.
Or is there another way ?
I am using Xcode 7.3 for iOS 9.3 to try and encrypt a Core Data file. I am trying to use NSPersistentStoreFileProtectionKey and set it to NSFileProtectionComplete to enable the encryption. It is not working for some reason and I can always see the .sqlite file generated by the app and browse through the content in sqlitebrowser or iexplorer. Here is my code :
lazy var persistentStoreCoordinator: NSPersistentStoreCoordinator = {
// The persistent store coordinator for the application. This implementation creates and returns a coordinator, having added the store for the application to it. This property is optional since there are legitimate error conditions that could cause the creation of the store to fail.
// Create the coordinator and store
let coordinator = NSPersistentStoreCoordinator(managedObjectModel: self.managedObjectModel)
let url = self.applicationDocumentsDirectory.URLByAppendingPathComponent("SingleViewCoreData.sqlite")
var failureReason = "There was an error creating or loading the application's saved data."
let dict: [NSObject : AnyObject] = [
NSPersistentStoreFileProtectionKey : NSFileProtectionComplete
]
do {
try coordinator.addPersistentStoreWithType(NSSQLiteStoreType, configuration: nil, URL: url, options: dict)
} catch {
// Report any error we got.
var dict = [String: AnyObject]()
dict[NSLocalizedDescriptionKey] = "Failed to initialize the application's saved data"
dict[NSLocalizedFailureReasonErrorKey] = failureReason
dict[NSUnderlyingErrorKey] = error as NSError
let wrappedError = NSError(domain: "YOUR_ERROR_DOMAIN", code: 9999, userInfo: dict)
// Replace this with code to handle the error appropriately.
// abort() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
NSLog("Unresolved error \(wrappedError), \(wrappedError.userInfo)")
abort()
}
do {
let url = self.applicationDocumentsDirectory.URLByAppendingPathComponent("SingleViewCoreData.sqlite")
try NSFileManager.defaultManager().setAttributes([NSFileProtectionKey : NSFileProtectionComplete], ofItemAtPath: url.path!)
} catch {
}
do {
let url = self.applicationDocumentsDirectory.URLByAppendingPathComponent("SingleViewCoreData.sqlite-wal")
try NSFileManager.defaultManager().setAttributes([NSFileProtectionKey : NSFileProtectionComplete], ofItemAtPath: url.path!)
// try print(NSFileManager.defaultManager().attributesOfFileSystemForPath(String(url)))
} catch {
}
do {
let url = self.applicationDocumentsDirectory.URLByAppendingPathComponent("SingleViewCoreData.sqlite-shm")
try NSFileManager.defaultManager().setAttributes([NSFileProtectionKey : NSFileProtectionComplete], ofItemAtPath: url.path!)
// try print(NSFileManager.defaultManager().attributesOfFileSystemForPath(String(url)))
} catch {
}
return coordinator
}()
I have also enabled Data Protection for my target in the "Capabilities". I have regenerated the provisioning profile from the Apple Developer portal and am using that with Enabled Data Protection.
I am also using the following code to check the file attributes of .sqlite , .sqlite-wal and .sqlite-shm files. NSFileProtectionKey is correctly set for all 3 of them.
func checkProtectionForLocalDb(atDir : String){
let fileManager = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
let enumerator: NSDirectoryEnumerator = fileManager.enumeratorAtPath(atDir)!
for path in enumerator {
let attr : NSDictionary = enumerator.fileAttributes!
print(attr)
}
}
I also tried disabling the Journal mode to prevent -wal and -shm files from being created. But I can still read the .sqlite file. Even though the attributes read NSFileProtectionComplete.
As described in the Apple Documentation at Apple Docs under "Protecting Data using On Disk Encryption", I tried to check whether the value of variable protectedDataAvailable changes as shown in the code below
public func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
// If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
NSThread.sleepForTimeInterval(10)
sleep(10)
let dataAvailable : Bool = UIApplication.sharedApplication().protectedDataAvailable
print("Protected Data Available : " + String(dataAvailable))
}
If I check the value without the delay it's set to true but after adding the delay it's set to false. This is kind of encouraging, however, right after, when I download the container, to show the content, it still has .sqlite file that still shows the content when opened in sqlitebrowser.
Ok, I finally understand this.
Using Xcode 7.3.1
Enabling File Protection
Enable File Protection using the Capabilities tab on your app target
If you do not want the default NSFileProtectionComplete, change this setting in the developer portal under your app id
Make sure Xcode has the new provisioning profile this creates.
For protecting files your app creates, that's it.
To protect Core Data, you need to add the NSPersistentStoreFileProtectionKey: NSFileProtectionComplete option to your persistent store.
Example:
var options: [NSObject : AnyObject] = [NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption: true,
NSPersistentStoreFileProtectionKey: NSFileProtectionComplete,
NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption: true]
do {
try coordinator!.addPersistentStoreWithType(NSSQLiteStoreType, configuration: nil, URL: url, options: options)
Testing File Protection
I am not able to test this using a non-jailbroken device connected to a computer. Every attempt to access the device this way requires that I "trust" the computer and I believe that trusted computers are always able to read the phone's data ("Trusted computers can sync with your iOS device, create backups, and access your device's photos, videos, contacts, and other content" - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202778). I think the other answers on SO referencing this technique are no longer valid with more recent versions of iOS. Indeed, I am always able to download the container using XCode and view the app's data using iPhone Explorer. So how to test...
1 - Create an archive and ensure that it is has the proper entitlements by running the following on the .app file from the command line:
codesign -d --entitlements :- <path_to_app_binary>
You should see a key/value pair that represents your Data Protection level. In this example, NSFileProtectionComplete:
<key>com.apple.developer.default-data-protection</key>
<string>NSFileProtectionComplete</string>
In addition, I used the following two techniques to satisfy myself that the data protection is indeed working. They both require code changes.
2 - Add some code to verify that the proper NSFileProtectionKey is being set on your files and/or core data store:
NSFileManager.defaultManager().attributesOfItemAtPath(dbPath.path!)
If I print this out on one of my files I get:
["NSFileCreationDate": 2016-10-14 02:06:39 +0000, "NSFileGroupOwnerAccountName": mobile, "NSFileType": NSFileTypeRegular, "NSFileSystemNumber": 16777218, "NSFileOwnerAccountName": mobile, "NSFileReferenceCount": 1, "NSFileModificationDate": 2016-10-14 02:06:39 +0000, "NSFileExtensionHidden": 0, "NSFileSize": 81920, "NSFileGroupOwnerAccountID": 501, "NSFileOwnerAccountID": 501, "NSFilePosixPermissions": 420, "NSFileProtectionKey": NSFileProtectionComplete, "NSFileSystemFileNumber": 270902]
Note the "NSFileProtectionKey": "NSFileProtectionComplete" pair.
3 - Modify the following code and hook it up to some button in your app.
#IBAction func settingButtonTouch(sender: AnyObject) {
updateTimer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(0.5, target: self,
selector: #selector(TabbedOverviewViewController.runTest), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
registerBackgroundTask()
}
var backgroundTask: UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid
var updateTimer: NSTimer?
func registerBackgroundTask() {
backgroundTask = UIApplication.sharedApplication().beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler {
[unowned self] in
self.endBackgroundTask()
}
assert(backgroundTask != UIBackgroundTaskInvalid)
}
func endBackgroundTask() {
NSLog("Background task ended.")
UIApplication.sharedApplication().endBackgroundTask(backgroundTask)
backgroundTask = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid
}
func runTest() {
switch UIApplication.sharedApplication().applicationState {
case .Active:
NSLog("App is active.")
checkFiles()
case .Background:
NSLog("App is backgrounded.")
checkFiles()
case .Inactive:
break
}
}
func checkFiles() {
// attempt to access a protected resource, i.e. a core data store or file
}
When you tap the button this code begins executing the checkFiles method every .5 seconds. This should run indefinitely with the app in the foreground or background - until you lock your phone. At that point it should reliably fail after roughly 10 seconds - exactly as described in the description of NSFileProtectionComplete.
We need to understand how Data Protection works.
Actually, you don't even need to enable it. Starting with iOS7, the default protection level is “File Protection Complete until first user authentication.”
This means that the files are not accessible until the user unlocks the device for the first time. After that, the files remain accessible even when the device is locked and until it shuts down or reboots.
The other thing is that you're going to see the app's data on a trusted computer always - regardless of the Data Protection level setting.
However, the data can’t be accessed if somebody tries to read them from the flash drive directly. The purpose of Data Protection is to ensure that sensitive data can’t be extracted from a password-protected device’s storage.
After running this code, I could still access and read the contents written to protectedFileURL, even after locking the device.
do {
try data.write(to: protectedFileURL, options: .completeFileProtectionUnlessOpen)
} catch {
print(error)
}
But that's normal since I ran iExplorer on a trusted computer.
And for the same reason, it's fine if you see your sqlite file.
The situation is different if your device gets lost or stolen. A hacker won't be able to read the sqlite file since it's encrypted. Well, unless he guesses your passcode somehow.
Swift 5.0 & Xcode 11:
Enable "Data Protection" in "Capabilities".
Use the following code to protect a file or folder at a specific path:
// Protects a file or folder + excludes it from backup.
// - parameter path: Path component of the file.
// - parameter fileProtectionType: `FileProtectionType`.
// - returns: True, when protected successful.
static func protectFileOrFolderAtPath(_ path: String, fileProtectionType: FileProtectionType) -> Bool {
guard FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: path) else { return false }
let fileProtectionAttrs = [FileAttributeKey.protectionKey: fileProtectionType]
do {
try FileManager.default.setAttributes(fileProtectionAttrs, ofItemAtPath: path)
return true
} catch {
assertionFailure("Failed protecting path with error: \(error).")
return false
}
}
(Optional) Use the following code to check whether the file or folder at the specific path is protected (note: This only works on physical devices):
/// Returns true, when the file at the provided path is protected.
/// - parameter path: Path of the file to check.
/// - note: Returns true, for simulators. Simulators do not have hardware file encryption. This feature is only available for real devices.
static func isFileProtectedAtPath(_ path: String) -> Bool {
guard !Environment.isSimulator else { return true } // file protection does not work on simulator!
do {
let attributes = try FileManager.default.attributesOfItem(atPath: path)
if attributes.contains(where: { $0.key == .protectionKey }) {
return true
} else {
return false
}
} catch {
assertionFailure(String(describing: error))
return false
}
}
Rather than encrypt a file at the local level I set NSFileProtectionComplete for the app as a whole.
Create the file 'entitlements.plist' in your apps root folder with the following content.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>DataProtectionClass</key>
<string>NSFileProtectionComplete</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Then if you haven't already done so already (this could be the problem with your file level encryption) enable Data Protection in your apps capabilities.
I have a problem with writing to file, the problem is :
If I write the directory ":/Files/Scores.txt" it won't write anything but it reads from same directory.
But if I used this directory "D:/TicTacToe/TicTacToe/Scores.txt" it writes and reads but i will give the game to my instructor and the path won't be same and the file won't open, any ideas ?!
My write code:
void Write ( QString file)
{
QFile sfile(file);
if(!sfile.open(QFile::ReadOnly |QFile::Text))
{
return;
}
QTextStream in(&sfile);
QString lscores =sfile.readAll() ;
sfile.close();
if(!sfile.open(QFile::WriteOnly |QFile::Text))
{
return;
}
lscores=" "+Xscore+"\t"+" "+Oscore+"\n"+lscores;
QTextStream out(&sfile);
out <<lscores;
sfile.close();
}
Resource files (the ones you put in .qrc file) are read only, as MrEricSir mentioned. If you want to have some configuration/score file with your app you can for example use QApplication::applicationDirPath()
QString settingsFile = QApplication::applicationDirPath() % QLatin1Literal("/scores.txt");
This way you will have always absolute path to the file inside your app directory.
You can also use QDesktopServices::storageLocation with QDesktopServices::DataLocation parameter to obtain data location for your application.
Is it possible to save an image from an url in the assets folder?
void DataPacking::createAndSaveImage(QString argSavingFilePath,
QByteArray argDataLoaded) {
m_file = new QFile;
m_file->setFileName(argSavingFilePath);
m_file->open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
m_file->write(argDataLoaded);
m_file->close();
m_file->~QFile();
}
m_savingFilePath = QDir::homePath() + "app/native/assets/images/"
+ QString("multipleActive.png");
createAndSaveImage(m_savingFilePath, m_dataLoaded);
but when I try to use this image, I am getting the error below.
"Unable to get asset in (/apps/com.bluewave.LeasePlan.testDev_e_LeasePlan45b0f435/native/assets/): (/images/multipleActive.png)."
The assets directory (or more properly the app directory) is part of the protected area of the application sandbox that can not be changed. If you want to store data in the sandbox you should use the data directory.
See: https://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/cascades/device_platform/data_access/file_system.html
Actually, this looks like the download feature, allowing a user to determine the local path where the file should be stored.
The whole thing is: the background program will generate a data file in the server, after that, I want to pass the data file from server to client.
I used FileStreamResult and FileContentResult, but it doesn't work.
A *.csv file was generated, then the file needs to transfer to the client. in controller , the code is very simple , like return new FilePathResult(filePath,"text/csv"); and I set the break point , the code execute without any exception , but I didn't see any web diaglog letting the user to select the path to save the csv file.
Try using return File()
public FileResult GetFile()
{
byte[] test = { 0 };
return File(test, "text/csv","TempFile.csv");
}
and calling it with an actionlink.
#Html.ActionLink("Download File","GetFile","Home")
Thank you guys, I changed the designe--place the csv file under the web root directory, (e.g. \File\Date\testing.csv) in the Controller method will return a json which point to the csv location (e.g. /File/Date/testing.csv) , the js should get the url and redirect to the /File/Date/testing.csv .
public FastJsonResult Download()
{
//generate the csv file under root path
//return the url point to the file
return JsonView(path);
}
