106 106  
107 -To install a runtime on-premises, you need sufficient rights to execute (batch) programs. This means that the user needs administrator rights on that specific machine to perform the runtime installation correctly.
107 +To run your runtimes on-premises, Docker and the eMagiz deploy agent need to be installed and updated when required. On Windows machines, you will need administrator rights to perform these actions. On Linux machines, you need at least sudo privileges for these actions.

111 -In Windows, a service account is needed to run a Windows Service (in this case, the runtime you have installed). This service account is different compared to the user that does the installing of the runtime.
112 -There are two options on this level:
113 -
114 -* Use the local system account. This account has sufficient rights to run the service and can therefore be used for everything: less work to configure, more impact on data integrity when the account gets compromised.
115 -* Use a specific service account per runtime, limiting the power of users to a particular runtime making you less vulnerable if this account gets compromised.

193 -Apart from configuring the roles, users, and rights within the portal itself, it is also possible to hook the API Gateway up to an (external) IDP.
194 -By communicating with this IDP via the OAuth2.0 protocol, a check is done every time a client calls a specific operation to see whether that client has sufficient rights to access the operation.
195 -If the client has sufficient rights, the process continues. For example, if the client has insufficient rights, the client receives a 401 Unauthorized.

284 -eMagiz stores specific integration scenario data. Within the basic configuration, eMagiz only processes the data and doesn't keep any data from these message streams. All messages are treated the same way, and the platform doesn't distinguish between regular, personal, or sensitive data. Clients are requested to make such assessments and take precautionary measures. Below we have detailed the parts of the eMagiz offering, per integration pattern, in which data is held temporarily. Afterward, we turn our focus to our data management offerings in which we store data for a longer period to support the client's needs.

288 -In the integrations where the Messaging pattern is selected, the entry connectors (runtimes that receive or pull messages) are equipped with a small temporary database to ensure the letters are preserved in this phase. In case of brief downtime of consecutive components where these messages are processed, these messages are held. This is one part of the Guaranteed Delivery mechanism in eMagiz. Messages are encrypted (AES-128) and stored until the message is processed * the database can only be thoroughly cleaned if needed by removing the data file of this database. Only users that have sufficient permissions can restart. Depending on input received and throughput achieved by polling the database, this can range between seconds and minutes that a message is kept in the database.

294 -In the case of event streaming, data is temporarily kept on the topic within the event streaming cluster. As specified above, access to a topic is secured with the help of the ACL. This is a safeguard against a loss of integrity of data. Regarding Event Streaming, data is retained for a more extended period (often days) to ensure that consumers have sufficient time to consume the data before it is deleted. This does mean that unauthorized third parties can not easily access the data on these topics. In addition, authorized users can edit the retention size and retention times on the topic level.

296 -* Service instances and the underlying VMs use full volume encryption using LUKS with a randomly generated ephemeral key per each instance and volume. The key is never re-used and will be trashed at the destruction of the instance, so there's a natural key rotation with roll-forward upgrades. We use the LUKS default mode aes-xts-plain64:sha256 with a 512-bit key.
297 -* Backups are encrypted with a randomly generated key per file. These keys are encrypted with RSA key-encryption key-pair and stored in the header section of each backup segment. The file encryption is performed with AES-256 in CTR mode with HMAC-SHA256 for integrity protection. The RSA key pair is randomly generated for each service. The key lengths are 256-bit for block encryption, 512-bit for integrity protection, and 3072-bits for the RSA key.
298 -* These backup files are stored in the object storage in the same region where the service virtual machines are located.
