This vendorcode -uses a small encryption library and leave much more space in flash for the -payload. +Verified boot is available in coreboot, but based on ChromeOS. This vendorcode security +solution is intended to be used for system without ChromeOS support. + +This solution allows implementing verified boot support for systems that do not contain a TPM. ## Hashing Library -The library suppports SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512. The required routines of -`3rdparty/vboot/firmware/2lib` are used. +The API functions of `3rdparty/vboot/firmware` are used. ## Measured boot -measured boot support will use TPM2 device if available. The items specified -in `mb_log_list[]` will be measured. +Measured boot support requires a TPM2 device. + +The items specified in `mb_log_list[]` and `*_verify_list[]` will be measured. + +The `mb_log_list[]` should only contain items that are not contained in one of the verify_lists +below (except for the `bootblock_verify_list[]`). + +The list can contain the following items: `config`, `revision`, `cmos_layout.bin`. +`oemmanifest.bin` should be added to the list when Verified boot is enabled. ## Verified boot -verified boot support will use TPM2 device if available. The items specified -in the next table will be verified: -* `bootblock_verify_list[]` -* `verify_item_t romstage_verify_list[]` -* `ram_stage_additional_list[]` -* `ramstage_verify_list[]` -* `payload_verify_list[]` -* `oprom_verify_list[]` +Verified boot support will use the OEM manifest to verify the items. + +The verification process is controlled using the following verify lists: +* `bootblock_verify_list[]` (will not be measured, verified in bootblock) +* `romstage_verify_list[]` (verified in early romstage) +* `postcar_verify_list[]` (verified in just before postcar loading) +* `ramstage_verify_list[]` (verified in just before ramstage loading) +* `payload_verify_list[]` (verified in just before payload loading) +* `oprom_verify_list[]` (verified before option rom execution) + +A verify_list entry contains a `related_items` member. This can point to an additional `verify_list` +which will be verified before the specified item is verified. As an example the `grub` entry in +`payload_verify_list[]` can point to the `grub_additional_list[]` that contains the items used by +the grub payload and the `seabios` entry in `payload_verify_list[]` can point to the +`seabios_additional_list[]` that contains the items used by the seabios payload. By doing this the +entries that are verified (and measured) depend on the payload selected at runtime. + +## Creating private and public keys +Create private key in RSA2048 format: `openssl genrsa -F4 -out <private_key_file> 2048` + +Create public key using private key: +`futility --vb1 create <private_key_file> <public_key_file_without_extension>` + +The public key will be included into coreboot and used for verified boot only. ## Enabling support +To enable measured boot support: +* Enabled *VENDORCODE_ELTAN_MBOOT* +* Create `mb_log_list` table with list of items to measure + +To enable verified boot support: +* Enable *VENDORCODE_ELTAN_VBOOT* +* Create the verify lists `*_verify_list[]` +* *VENDORCODE_ELTAN_VBOOT_KEY_FILE* must point to location of the public key file created with `futility` + +## Creating signed binary + +During build of coreboot binary an empty `oemmanifest.bin` is added to the binary. + +This binary must be replaced by a correct (signed) binary when *VENDORCODE_ELTAN_VBOOT* is enabled + +The `oemmanifest.bin` file contains the SHA-256 (or SHA-512) hashes of all the different parts +contained in verify_lists. + +When *VENDORCODE_ELTAN_VBOOT_SIGNED_MANIFEST* is enabled the manifest should be signed and the +signature should appended to the manifest. + +Please make sure the public key is in the RO part of the coreboot image. The `oemmanifest.bin` file +should be in the RW part of the coreboot image. + +### Hashing + +The `oemmanifest.bin` file contains the hashes of different binaries parts of the binary e.g.: +bootblock, romstage, postcar, ramstage, fsp etc. + +The total number of items must match `VENDORCODE_ELTAN_OEM_MANIFEST_ITEMS`. + +For every part the SHA (SHA-256) must be calculated. First extract the binary from the coreboot +image using: `cbfstool <coreboot_file_name> extract -n <cbfs_name> -f <item_binary_file_name>` +followed by: `openssl dgst -sha256 -binary -out <hash_file_name> <item_binary_file_name>` + +Replace -sha256 with -sha512 when `VENDORCODE_ELTAN_VBOOT_USE_SHA512` is enabled. + +All the hashes must be combined to a hash binary. The hashes need to be placed in the same order as +defined by the `HASH_IDX_XXX` values. + +### Signing + +The oemmanifest needs to be signed when `VENDORCODE_ELTAN_VBOOT_SIGNED_MANIFEST` is enabled. + +This can be done with the following command: +`openssl dgst -sign <private_key_file_name> -sha256 -out <signature_binary> <hash_binary>` + +The signed manifest can be created by adding the signature to the manifest: +`cat <hash_binary> <signature_binary> >hash_table.bin` + +## Create binary +The `oemmanifest.bin` file must be replaced in the coreboot binary by the generated +`hash_table.bin`. -* Measured boot can be enabled using **CONFIG_MBOOT** -* Create mb_log_list table with list of item to measure -* Create tables bootblock_verify_list[], verify_item_t romstage_verify_list[], - ram_stage_additional_list[], ramstage_verify_list[], payload_verify_list[], - oprom_verify_list[] -* Verified boot can be enabled using **CONFIG_VERIFIED_BOOT** -* Added Kconfig values for verbose console output +To replace the binary: Remove using: +`cbfstool <coreboot_file_name> remove -n oemmanifest.bin` +Then add the new image using: +`cbfstool coreboot.bin add -f <hash_table_file_name> -n oemmanifest.bin -t raw \` +`-b <CONFIG_VENDORCODE_ELTAN_OEM_MANIFEST_LOC>` ## Debugging |
