"Success doesn’t come to you, you go to it." - Marva Collins ** #50DaysOfDiscovery :- Day 7 ** Hello Linkedin Family, Continuing my journey of #servicemesh, I #learned about #Security : #Authentication and #Authorization in #Istio. Security in Istio involves multiple components: - A Certificate Authority (CA) for key and certificate management - The configuration API server distributes to the proxies: 1. authentication policies 2. authorization policies 3. secure naming information 4. Sidecar and perimeter proxies work as Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs) to secure communication between clients and servers. 5. A set of Envoy proxy extensions to manage telemetry and auditing # Certificate Management Istio securely provisions strong identities to every workload with X.509 certificates. Istio agents, running alongside each Envoy proxy, work together with istiod to automate key and certificate rotation at scale. # Authentication Istio provides two types of authentication: 1. Peer authentication: used for service-to-service authentication to verify the client making the connection. Istio offers mutual TLS as a full-stack solution for transport authentication, which can be enabled without requiring service code changes. This solution: - Provides each service with a strong identity representing its role to enable interoperability across clusters and clouds. - Secures service-to-service communication. - Provides a key management system to automate key and certificate generation, distribution, and rotation. 2. Request authentication: Used for end-user authentication to verify the credentials attached to the request. Istio enables request-level authentication with JSON Web Token (JWT) validation and a streamlined developer experience using a custom authentication provider or any OpenID Connect provider. # Authorization Istio’s authorization features provide mesh-, namespace-, and workload-wide access control for your workloads in the mesh. This level of control provides the following benefits: - Workload-to-workload and end-user-to-workload authorization. - A simple API: it includes a single AuthorizationPolicy CRD, which is easy to use and maintain. - Flexible semantics: operators can define custom conditions on Istio attributes, and use CUSTOM, DENY, and ALLOW actions. - High performance: Istio authorization (ALLOW and DENY) is enforced natively on Envoy. - High compatibility: supports gRPC, HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP/2 natively, as well as any plain TCP protocols. The authorization policy enforces access control to the inbound traffic in the server-side Envoy proxy.
