Re: [TF-A] Proposal for Measured Boot Implementation

by Alexei Fedorov

Hi Raghu, Thanks for reviewing the proposal. Please find my answers below. 1) The idea was to use the same hash algorithm throughout all TF-A code for consistency and not introduce any new build flags. One of the initial implementations even didn't calculate the hash itself but was reading verified data provided by the Chain of Trust (CoT) for the purpose of optimisation. Existing definition of TF_MBEDTLS_HASH_ALG_ID in 'drivers\auth\mbedtls\mbedtls_common.mk' at line #76: ifeq (${HASH_ALG}, sha384) TF_MBEDTLS_HASH_ALG_ID := TF_MBEDTLS_SHA384 else ifeq (${HASH_ALG}, sha512) TF_MBEDTLS_HASH_ALG_ID := TF_MBEDTLS_SHA512 else TF_MBEDTLS_HASH_ALG_ID := TF_MBEDTLS_SHA256 endif passed to 'include\drivers\auth\mbedtls\mbedtls_config.h', line #72 #define MBEDTLS_SHA256_C #if (TF_MBEDTLS_HASH_ALG_ID != TF_MBEDTLS_SHA256) #define MBEDTLS_SHA512_C #endif and used in Mbed TLS to define MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_SIZE in 'include\mbedtls\md.h': #if defined(MBEDTLS_SHA512_C) #define MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_SIZE 64 /* longest known is SHA512 */ #else #define MBEDTLS_MD_MAX_SIZE 32 /* longest known is SHA256 or less */ #endif makes impossible usage HASH_ALG=sha256 for TF-A and sha512 for Measured Boot calculations, because the following chain of function calls arm_bl1_set_bl2_hash() -> crypto_mod_calc_hash() -> crypto_lib_desc.calc_hash() -> calc_hash() -> mbedtls_md_info_from_type() returns CRYPTO_ERR_HASH error caused by insufficient space in internal Mbed TLS buffers and fixing this issue needs extra modifications in make and header files. Upgrading/changing the hash algorithm will require re-building of TF-A and re-flashing BL1 in ROM, so please explain what you mean by "potentially break measured boot on old devices in case a hash algorithm is broken" The functionality for getting the hash algorithm from the platform (e.g. eFuses) can be added later as a platform build option and requires fixing the issue described above. 2) Yes, Measured Boot requires TF-A built with TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT option enabled, and as BL2 image is a part of CoT it is verified by BL1. 3) Yes. Event Log implementation is based on TCG Specifications. BL2 loads images, calculates their hashes and writes data into Event Log stored in Secure memory. 4) It is planned to add fTPM service implementation to TF-A, see Javier's message: https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/tf-a/2020-March/000339.html Stuart could also comment on the naming convention. 5) N/A 6) Event Log is a complex structure with entries of different lengths, and TFTF test checks the length of each field against the remaining size of the Event Log's data to be processed before accessing and printing the actual data. Thanks. Alexei. ________________________________ From: TF-A <tf-a-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> on behalf of Raghu Krishnamurthy via TF-A <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Sent: 21 March 2020 05:53 To: tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org <tf-a(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> Subject: Re: [TF-A] Proposal for Measured Boot Implementation Hi Alexei, Thanks. This looks good at first glance. However, i do have some questions that aren't obvious to me by reading the description below and looking at code. Questions are numbered based on your original email. Perhaps these can be discussed in the TF-A forum if it is inconvenient over email. 1) Would be good if the hash alg comes from the config file. This will make the implementation "crypto agile" from the very beginning. It is common to want to upgrade/change the hash algorithm and since BL1 is in ROM, you potentially break measured boot on old devices in case a hash algorithm is broken. The other option is to get the hash algorithm from the platform, perhaps a platform gets it from eFuses as opposed to config files. 2) It looks like you are using memory allocated in the loaded DTB as the equivalent of a TPM "PCR". How is this protected from direct modification by BL2? Or is it not protected because BL2 forms a part of the Root-of-Trust for Measurement(RTM)?(since it's signature is verified by BL1?) 3) What does "Event Log" refer to? Is it the same event log proposed by TCG in the platform firmware profile ? As a general question, how close is the measured boot in TF-A/PSA going to be to TCG ? Will BL2 extend measurements for other images ? 4) Would be great not to refer to "TPM" in the measured boot implementation. Here we are implementing measured boot without a TPM, but it could be implemented with a TPM. Maybe it should be tcg event log? 5) OK. 6) What does validate event log mean here? More details ?

Re: [TF-A] [TF-M] Project Maintenance Proposal for tf.org Projects

by Andrej Butok

Hello, >But I am worried that a self-review is rarely as good as a peer review On practice, unfortunately, some TF-M tasks are waiting weeks and even months for review and following approvals. If I were a maintainer & owner of my own TFM area, I do not want to wait & push & remind somebody else. Better to have a post-merge review for these cases, which does not limit and slow down the development.

At a minimum, > all self-patches should be published and a minimum wait time provided > for feedback. Or preferably that another maintainer does the merge (it > does not need to be mandated but should be suggested). Yes, actually this is something that generated some disagreement inside Arm as well and I am glad you're bringing this up here, as I'd like to hear more opinions on this. I too have concerns about allowing self-reviewing. I am not so much concerned about people potentially abusing of this situation to silently merge patches, as I think we should trust our maintainers. But I am worried that a self-review is rarely as good as a peer review, simply because it is so easy to miss things when it's your own work. I believe several pair of eyes is always better, as different people think differently, have different perspectives and backgrounds, and are able to catch different issues. But to pull this off, we need enough people to do all these reviews. The proposal currently allows self-review because some of us feared that mandating 2 reviewers for every patch (especially pure platform patches) would be impractical and too heavyweight, especially for the TF-M project in its current contributors organization, as I understand. It would be great to get more feedback from the TF-M community as to whether they think it could work in the end. It's a difficult balance between having the best possible code review practices, and realistically getting all the review work done in a timely manner, avoiding bottlenecks on specific people and keeping the flow of patches smooth. I like your idea of a minimum wait time provided for feedback. I think it could be a good middle ground solution. Your other suggestion of having a different maintainer doing the merge would work as well IMO but requires more workforce. Again this comes down to whether this can realistically be achieved for each project. This solution was actually suggested within Arm as well (and even called out at the end of the proposal ;) ). Bottom line is, in an ideal world I would like to condemn self-review because I consider this as bad practice, but I do not know whether this will be practical and will work for TF-M as well. > ï¿½2. 'timely manner': This expectation should be more explicit - > when the author can start requesting other maintainers to merge on > assumption that silence == approval (or not). Such timeliness > expectations are probably best set per project however. Yes, "timely manner" is definitely too vague and was actually left that way on purpose at this stage to avoid touching upon what I think is a sensitive subject! I am aware that some patches sometimes spend a long time in review, definitely longer than they should and it understandably generates some frustration. This is something we absolutely need to improve on IMO and hopefully a bigger pool of maintainers will help solve this issue. But I agree that the expected review timeline should be clearly established and it is probably best to let each project decides theirs. > ï¿½3. The proposal does not address branching strategies. i.e. will > there be separate maintainers for dev/master/stable branches? I don't > think it needs to address it yet - keep it simpler for a start. But a > todo saying something like "in the future this project maintenance > proposal might be expanded to address multi-branch maintainership" would be good. Good point. A todo sounds good, I will add one in the last section of the document. > ï¿½4. The platform lifecycle state machine has too many transitions. > "Fully maintained" <-> "orphan" -> "out" seems sufficient to me. Hmm OK. There might be too many transitions but I feel we need something between fully maintained and out, i.e. the limited support one. Julius Werner also pointed out on Thursday that orphan might be misplaced, as all these other stages deal with some degrees of feature support (what's known to work), whereas orphan is an orthogonal topic that is not directly related to the level of supported features. For example, a platform could have recently become orphan but all features and tests still work for some time.

fTPM service implementation to test Measured Boot

by Javier Almansa Sobrino

Hello, Following up with the Proposal for Measured Boot Implementation described in https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/pipermail/tf-a/2020-March/000332.html , I am working on the implementation of a test fTPM service to exercise Measured Boot on TF-A. Some details about the implementation can be found below: 1.- The service will be based on Microsoft's reference implementation of the TPM 2.0 Specification by TCG. It will be implemented as an OP- TEE TA. 2.- During service initialisation, the fTPM service will read the TPM Event Log stored by Measured Boot in Secure Memory and it will extend it into the PCR specified by the log header. 3.- Alongside with the fTPM service, a test framework based on OP-TEE Toolkit is being implemented as well. This test framework will generate and run a Linux/Buildroot environment over a Foundation Model so the fTPM's PCRs can be accessed to verify its content. It is important here to highlight that this fTPM service and the related test framework are meant to be used only for demonstration purposes, it is not meant to be used as a production implementation. Please, let me know any comment or query you might have with regards this. Best regards, Javier

Project Maintenance Proposal for tf.org Projects

by Sandrine Bailleux

Hello all, As the developers community at trustedfirmware.org is growing, there is an increasing need to have work processes that are clearly documented, feel smooth and scale well. We think that there is an opportunity to improve the way the trustedfirmware.org projects are managed today. That's why we are sharing a project maintenance proposal, focusing on the TF-A and TF-M projects initially. The aim of this document is to propose a set of rules, guidelines and processes to try and improve the way we work together as a community today. Note that this is an early draft at this stage. This is put up for further discussion within the trustedfirmware.org community. Nothing is set in stone yet and it is expected to go under change as feedback from the community is incorporated. Please find the initial proposal here: https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/w/collaboration/project-maintenance-p… Please provide any feedback you may have by replying to this email thread, keeping all 4 mailing lists in the recipients list. I will collate comments from the community and try to incorporate them in the document, keeping you updated on changes made between revisions. Regards, Sandrine
