+<B>OVERVIEW</B>
+ This help section provides details about various precautions taken by gsutil
+ to protect data security, as well as recommendations for how customers should
+ safeguard security.
+
+
+<B>TRANSPORT LAYER SECURITY</B>
+ gsutil performs all operations using transport-layer encryption (HTTPS), to
+ protect against data leakage over shared network links. This is also important
+ because gsutil uses "bearer tokens" for authentication (OAuth2) as well as for
+ resumable upload identifiers, and such tokens must be protected from being
+ eavesdropped and reused.
+
+ gsutil also supports the older HMAC style of authentication via the XML API
+ (see "gsutil help apis"). While HMAC authentication does not use bearer
+ tokens (and thus is not subject to eavesdropping/replay attacks), it's still
+ important to encrypt data traffic.
+
+ Prior to gsutil release 4.0 it was possible to use HTTP instead of HTTPS by
+ setting the "is_secure" configuration parameter in the [Boto] section of the
+ boto configuration file to False. However, starting with gsutil version 4.0
+ setting is_secure to False is disallowed. For more details about different
+ credential options, see "gsutil help creds".
+
+
+<B>LOCAL FILE STORAGE SECURITY</B>
+ gsutil takes a number of precautions to protect against security exploits in
+ the files it stores locally:
+
+ - When the gsutil config command runs it sets file protection mode 600
+ ("-rw-------") on the the .boto configuration file it generates, so only
+ the user (or superuser) can read it. This is important because these files
+ contain security-sensitive information, including credentials and proxy
+ configuration.
+
+ - The gsutil config command also uses file protection mode 600 for the
+ private key file stored locally when you create service account
+ credentials.
+
+ - The default level of logging output from gsutil commands does not include
+ security-sensitive information, such as OAuth2 tokens and proxy
+ configuration information. (See the "RECOMMENDED USER PRECAUTIONS" section
+ below if you increase the level of debug output, using the gsutil -D
+ option.)
+
+ Note that protection modes are not supported on Windows, so if you
+ use gsutil on Windows we recommend using an encrypted file system and strong
+ account passwords.
+
+
+<B>SECURITY-SENSITIVE FILES WRITTEN TEMPORARILY TO DISK BY GSUTIL</B>
+ gsutil buffers data in temporary files in several situations:
+
+ - While compressing data being uploaded via gsutil cp -z, gsutil
+ buffers the data in temporary files with protection 600, which it
+ deletes after the upload is complete (similarly for downloading files
+ that were uploaded with gsutil cp -z or some other process that sets the
+ Content-Encoding to "gzip"). However, if you kill the gsutil process
+ while the upload is under way the partially written file will be left
+ in place. See the "CHANGING TEMP DIRECTORIES" section in
+ "gsutil help cp" for details of where the temporary files are written
+ and how to change the temp directory location.
+
+ - When performing a resumable upload gsutil stores the upload ID (which,
+ as noted above, is a bearer token and thus should be safe-guarded) in a
+ file under ~/.gsutil/tracker-files with protection 600, and deletes this
+ file after the upload is complete. However, if the upload doesn't
+ complete successfully the tracker file is left in place so the resumable
+ upload can be re-attempted later. Over time it's possible to accumulate
+ these tracker files from aborted upload attempts, though resumable
+ upload IDs are only valid for 1 week, so the security risk only exists
+ for files less than that old. If you consider the risk of leaving
+ aborted upload IDs in the tracker directory too high you could modify
+ your upload scripts to delete the tracker files; or you could create a
+ cron job to clear the tracker directory periodically.
+
+ - The gsutil rsync command stores temporary files (with protection 600)
+ containing the names, sizes, and checksums of source and destination
+ directories/buckets, which it deletes after the rsync is complete.
+ However, if you kill the gsutil process while the rsync is under way the
+ listing files will be left in place.
+
+ Note that gsutil deletes temporary files using the standard OS unlink system
+ call, which does not perform `data wiping
+ <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_erasure>`_. Thus, the content of such
+ temporary files can be recovered by a determined adversary.
+
+
+<B>ACCESS CONTROL LISTS</B>
+ Unless you specify a different ACL (e.g., via the gsutil cp -a option), by
+ default objects written to a bucket use the default object ACL on that bucket.
+ Unless you modify that ACL (e.g., via the gsutil defacl command), by default
+ it will allow all project editors write access to the object and read/write
+ access to the object's metadata; and will allow all project viewers read
+ access to the object.
+
+ The GCS access control system includes the ability to specify that objects are
+ publicly readable. Make sure you intend for any objects you write with this
+ permission to be public. Once "published", data on the Internet can be copied
+ to many places, so it's effectively impossible to regain read control over an
+ object written with this permission.
+
+ The GCS access control system includes the ability to specify that buckets are
+ publicly writable. While configuring a bucket this way can be convenient for
+ various purposes, we recommend against using this permission - it can be
+ abused for distributing illegal content, viruses, and other malware, and the
+ bucket owner is legally and financially responsible for the content stored in
+ their buckets. If you need to make content available to customers who don't
+ have Google accounts consider instead using signed URLs (see
+ "gsutil help signurl").
+
+
+<B>SOFTWARE INTEGRITY AND UPDATES</B>
+ gsutil is distributed as a standalone bundle via tar and zip files stored in
+ the gs://pub bucket, as a PyPi module, and as part of the bundled Cloud
+ SDK release. Each of these distribution methods takes a variety of security
+ precautions to protect the integrity of the software. We strongly recommend
+ against getting a copy of gsutil from any other sources (such as mirror
+ sites).
+
+
+<B>PROXY USAGE</B>
+ gsutil supports access via proxies, such as Squid and a number of commercial
+ products. A full description of their capabilities is beyond the scope of this
+ documentation, but proxies can be configured to support many security-related
+ functions, including virus scanning, Data Leakage Prevention, control over
+ which certificates/CA's are trusted, content type filtering, and many more
+ capabilities. Some of these features can slow or block legitimate gsutil
+ behavior. For example, virus scanning depends on decrypting file content,
+ which in turn requires that the proxy terminate the gsutil connection and
+ establish a new connection - and in some cases proxies will rewrite content in
+ ways that result in checksum validation errors and other problems.
+
+ For details on configuring proxies see the proxy help text in your .boto
+ configuration file (generated by the gsutil config command).
+
+
+<B>ENCRYPTION AT REST</B>
+ All GCS data are stored encrypted. For more information see
+ `Server-Side Encryption
+ <https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/concepts-techniques#encryption>`_.
+
+
+<B>DATA PRIVACY FROM GOOGLE EMPLOYEES</B>
+ Google employees will never look at your data unless you first explicitly
+ grant them permission to do so while troubleshooting a specific incident.
+
+ Google will never ask you to share your credentials, password, or other
+ security-sensitive information. Beware of potential phishing scams where
+ someone attempts to impersonate Google and asks for such information.
+
+
+<B>MEASUREMENT DATA</B>
+ The gsutil perfdiag command collects a variety of performance-related
+ measurements and details about your local system and network environment, for
+ use in troubleshooting performance problems. None of this information will be
+ sent to Google unless you choose to send it.
+
+
+<B>RECOMMENDED USER PRECAUTIONS</B>
+ The first and foremost precaution is: Never share your credentials. Each user
+ should have distinct credentials.
+
+ If you run gsutil -D (to generate debugging output) it will include OAuth2
+ refresh and access tokens in the output. Make sure to redact this information
+ before sending this debug output to anyone during troubleshooting/tech support
+ interactions.
+
+ The proxy configuration information in the .boto configuration is
+ security-sensitive, especially if your proxy setup requires user and
+ password information. Even if your proxy setup doesn't require user and
+ password, the host and port number for your proxy is often considered
+ security-sensitive. Protect access to your .boto configuration file.
+
+ If you are using gsutil from a production environment (e.g., via a cron job
+ running on a host in your data center), use service account credentials rather
+ than individual user account credentials. These credentials were designed for
+ such use and, for example, protect you from losing access when an employee
+ leaves your company.
