 . In the eMagiz integration project, various flows are created that work together to realize the integration. The different types are shown on the top of the picture below.
 . Your customized flows are combined with a base image (which contains framework components to make the flows work) and are deployed into a runtime (java-based application container).
 . These runtimes run on Cloud machines that contain Cloud templates (all required components to make the Cloud machine operational such as OS, Java runtime version, and more).

  * A bitbucket pipeline can access the registry to update the provided base image that is needed to run all your flows. This pipeline cannot access your flows, only the libraries used to build your flows.
  * Connections to the registry are always one-way SSL (encrypted) and all access is secured with a unique username/password combination.
  * As mentioned above, the registry is read-only for agents and client runtimes. This means that even if someone gets their hands on a username/password combination, they do not have sufficient rights to alter anything in the registry. They can only read the data that is kept in the registry.

  ===== 3.3.1.1 Rights for installing =====
--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.
++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.
++===== 3.3.1.2 Rights for running =====
++
++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.
++There are two options on this level:
++
++* 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.
++* 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.
++
++In Linux, the service will be running under the local system account as per default.

--In the eMagiz Cloud, access is restricted to those who have a legitimate reason to access it based on the SLA level agreements between customers and eMagiz. This means support engineers, consignment employees, and your model owner have access to your specific cloud setup.

++===== 3.5.2.2 (External) IDP =====
++
++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.
++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.
++If the client has sufficient rights, the process continues. For example, if the client has insufficient rights, the client receives a 401 Unauthorized.

  ==== 3.8.1 Messaging ====
--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 messages 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. Depending on input received and throughput achieved by the poller, a message is kept between seconds and minutes in the database.
--The database can only be thoroughly cleaned if needed by removing the data file of this database. Only users that have sufficient permissions can execute this action.

  ==== 3.8.2 Event Streaming ====
--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 (between 2 and 7 days, depending on configuration and license) to ensure that consumers have sufficient time to consume the data before it is deleted.

++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.
++* 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.
++* 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.
++* These backup files are stored in the object storage in the same region where the service virtual machines are located.
