Verified Boot on the Beaglebone Black
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Before reading this, please read verified-boot.txt and signature.txt. These
|
|
instructions are for mainline U-Boot from v2014.07 onwards.
|
|
|
|
There is quite a bit of documentation in this directory describing how
|
|
verified boot works in U-Boot. There is also a test which runs through the
|
|
entire process of signing an image and running U-Boot (sandbox) to check it.
|
|
However, it might be useful to also have an example on a real board.
|
|
|
|
Beaglebone Black is a fairly common board so seems to be a reasonable choice
|
|
for an example of how to enable verified boot using U-Boot.
|
|
|
|
First a note that may to help avoid confusion. U-Boot and Linux both use
|
|
device tree. They may use the same device tree source, but it is seldom useful
|
|
for them to use the exact same binary from the same place. More typically,
|
|
U-Boot has its device tree packaged wtih it, and the kernel's device tree is
|
|
packaged with the kernel. In particular this is important with verified boot,
|
|
since U-Boot's device tree must be immutable. If it can be changed then the
|
|
public keys can be changed and verified boot is useless. An attacker can
|
|
simply generate a new key and put his public key into U-Boot so that
|
|
everything verifies. On the other hand the kernel's device tree typically
|
|
changes when the kernel changes, so it is useful to package an updated device
|
|
tree with the kernel binary. U-Boot supports the latter with its flexible FIT
|
|
format (Flat Image Tree).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The steps are roughly as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. Build U-Boot for the board, with the verified boot options enabled.
|
|
|
|
2. Obtain a suitable Linux kernel
|
|
|
|
3. Create a Image Tree Source file (ITS) file describing how you want the
|
|
kernel to be packaged, compressed and signed.
|
|
|
|
4. Create a key pair
|
|
|
|
5. Sign the kernel
|
|
|
|
6. Put the public key into U-Boot's image
|
|
|
|
7. Put U-Boot and the kernel onto the board
|
|
|
|
8. Try it
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 1: Build U-Boot
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
a. Set up the environment variable to point to your toolchain. You will need
|
|
this for U-Boot and also for the kernel if you build it. For example if you
|
|
installed a Linaro version manually it might be something like:
|
|
|
|
export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/linaro/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.08_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
|
|
|
|
or if you just installed gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi then it might be
|
|
|
|
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
|
|
|
|
b. Configure and build U-Boot with verified boot enabled:
|
|
|
|
export ARCH=arm
|
|
export UBOOT=/path/to/u-boot
|
|
cd $UBOOT
|
|
# You can add -j10 if you have 10 CPUs to make it faster
|
|
make O=b/am335x_boneblack_vboot am335x_boneblack_vboot_config all
|
|
export UOUT=$UBOOT/b/am335x_boneblack_vboot
|
|
|
|
c. You will now have a U-Boot image:
|
|
|
|
file b/am335x_boneblack_vboot/u-boot-dtb.img
|
|
b/am335x_boneblack_vboot/u-boot-dtb.img: u-boot legacy uImage, U-Boot 2014.07-rc2-00065-g2f69f8, Firmware/ARM, Firmware Image (Not compressed), 395375 bytes, Sat May 31 16:19:04 2014, Load Address: 0x80800000, Entry Point: 0x00000000, Header CRC: 0x0ABD6ACA, Data CRC: 0x36DEF7E4
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 2: Build Linux
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
a. Find the kernel image ('Image') and device tree (.dtb) file you plan to
|
|
use. In our case it is am335x-boneblack.dtb and it is built with the kernel.
|
|
At the time of writing an SD Boot image can be obtained from here:
|
|
|
|
http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:Updating_The_Software#Image_For_Booting_From_microSD
|
|
|
|
You can write this to an SD card and then mount it to extract the kernel and
|
|
device tree files.
|
|
|
|
You can also build a kernel. Instructions for this are are here:
|
|
|
|
http://elinux.org/Building_BBB_Kernel
|
|
|
|
or you can use your favourite search engine. Following these instructions
|
|
produces a kernel Image and device tree files. For the record the steps were:
|
|
|
|
export KERNEL=/path/to/kernel
|
|
cd $KERNEL
|
|
git clone git://github.com/beagleboard/kernel.git .
|
|
git checkout v3.14
|
|
./patch.sh
|
|
cp configs/beaglebone kernel/arch/arm/configs/beaglebone_defconfig
|
|
cd kernel
|
|
make beaglebone_defconfig
|
|
make uImage dtbs # -j10 if you have 10 CPUs
|
|
export OKERNEL=$KERNEL/kernel/arch/arm/boot
|
|
|
|
c. You now have the 'Image' and 'am335x-boneblack.dtb' files needed to boot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 3: Create the ITS
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Set up a directory for your work.
|
|
|
|
export WORK=/path/to/dir
|
|
cd $WORK
|
|
|
|
Put this into a file in that directory called sign.its:
|
|
|
|
/dts-v1/;
|
|
|
|
/ {
|
|
description = "Beaglebone black";
|
|
#address-cells = <1>;
|
|
|
|
images {
|
|
kernel@1 {
|
|
data = /incbin/("Image.lzo");
|
|
type = "kernel";
|
|
arch = "arm";
|
|
os = "linux";
|
|
compression = "lzo";
|
|
load = <0x80008000>;
|
|
entry = <0x80008000>;
|
|
hash@1 {
|
|
algo = "sha1";
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
fdt@1 {
|
|
description = "beaglebone-black";
|
|
data = /incbin/("am335x-boneblack.dtb");
|
|
type = "flat_dt";
|
|
arch = "arm";
|
|
compression = "none";
|
|
hash@1 {
|
|
algo = "sha1";
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
configurations {
|
|
default = "conf@1";
|
|
conf@1 {
|
|
kernel = "kernel@1";
|
|
fdt = "fdt@1";
|
|
signature@1 {
|
|
algo = "sha1,rsa2048";
|
|
key-name-hint = "dev";
|
|
sign-images = "fdt", "kernel";
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
The explanation for this is all in the documentation you have already read.
|
|
But briefly it packages a kernel and device tree, and provides a single
|
|
configuration to be signed with a key named 'dev'. The kernel is compressed
|
|
with LZO to make it smaller.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 4: Create a key pair
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
See signature.txt for details on this step.
|
|
|
|
cd $WORK
|
|
mkdir keys
|
|
openssl genrsa -F4 -out keys/dev.key 2048
|
|
openssl req -batch -new -x509 -key keys/dev.key -out keys/dev.crt
|
|
|
|
Note: keys/dev.key contains your private key and is very secret. If anyone
|
|
gets access to that file they can sign kernels with it. Keep it secure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 5: Sign the kernel
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
We need to use mkimage (which was built when you built U-Boot) to package the
|
|
Linux kernel into a FIT (Flat Image Tree, a flexible file format that U-Boot
|
|
can load) using the ITS file you just created.
|
|
|
|
At the same time we must put the public key into U-Boot device tree, with the
|
|
'required' property, which tells U-Boot that this key must be verified for the
|
|
image to be valid. You will make this key available to U-Boot for booting in
|
|
step 6.
|
|
|
|
ln -s $OKERNEL/dts/am335x-boneblack.dtb
|
|
ln -s $OKERNEL/Image
|
|
ln -s $UOUT/u-boot-dtb.img
|
|
cp $UOUT/arch/arm/dts/am335x-boneblack.dtb am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb
|
|
lzop Image
|
|
$UOUT/tools/mkimage -f sign.its -K am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb -k keys -r image.fit
|
|
|
|
You should see something like this:
|
|
|

Now am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb contains the public key and image.fit contains
|
|
the signed kernel. Jump to step 6 if you like, or continue reading to increase
|
|
your understanding.
|
|
|
|
You can also run fit_check_sign to check it:
|
|
|
|
$UOUT/tools/fit_check_sign -f image.fit -k am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb
|
|
|
|

At the top, you see "sha1,rsa2048:dev+". This means that it checked an RSA key
|
|
of size 2048 bits using SHA1 as the hash algorithm. The key name checked was
|
|
'dev' and the '+' means that it verified. If it showed '-' that would be bad.
|
|
|
|
Once the configuration is verified it is then possible to rely on the hashes
|
|
in each image referenced by that configuration. So fit_check_sign goes on to
|
|
load each of the images. We have a kernel and an FDT but no ramkdisk. In each
|
|
case fit_check_sign checks the hash and prints sha1+ meaning that the SHA1
|
|
hash verified. This means that none of the images has been tampered with.
|
|
|
|
There is a test in test/vboot which uses U-Boot's sandbox build to verify that
|
|
the above flow works.
|
|
|
|
But it is fun to do this by hand, so you can load image.fit into a hex editor
|
|
like ghex, and change a byte in the kernel:
|
|
|
|
$UOUT/tools/fit_info -f image.fit -n /images/kernel@1 -p data
|
|
NAME: kernel@1
|
|
LEN: 7790938
|
|
OFF: 168
|
|
|
|
This tells us that the kernel starts at byte offset 168 (decimal) in image.fit
|
|
and extends for about 7MB. Try changing a byte at 0x2000 (say) and run
|
|
fit_check_sign again. You should see something like:
|
|
|
|

It has detected the change in the kernel.
|
|
|
|
You can also be sneaky and try to switch images, using the libfdt utilities
|
|
that come with dtc (package name is device-tree-compiler but you will need a
|
|
recent version like 1.4:
|
|
|
|
dtc -v
|
|
Version: DTC 1.4.0
|
|
|
|
First we can check which nodes are actually hashed by the configuration:
|
|
|
|
fdtget -l image.fit /
|
|
images
|
|
configurations
|
|
|
|
fdtget -l image.fit /configurations
|
|
conf@1
|
|
fdtget -l image.fit /configurations/conf@1
|
|
signature@1
|
|
|
|
fdtget -p image.fit /configurations/conf@1/signature@1
|
|
hashed-strings
|
|
hashed-nodes
|
|
timestamp
|
|
signer-version
|
|
signer-name
|
|
value
|
|
algo
|
|
key-name-hint
|
|
sign-images
|
|
|
|
fdtget image.fit /configurations/conf@1/signature@1 hashed-nodes
|
|
/ /configurations/conf@1 /images/fdt@1 /images/fdt@1/hash@1 /images/kernel@1 /images/kernel@1/hash@1
|
|
|
|
This gives us a bit of a look into the signature that mkimage added. Note you
|
|
can also use fdtdump to list the entire device tree.
|
|
|
|
Say we want to change the kernel that this configuration uses
|
|
(/images/kernel@1). We could just put a new kernel in the image, but we will
|
|
need to change the hash to match. Let's simulate that by changing a byte of
|
|
the hash:
|
|
|
|
fdtget -tx image.fit /images/kernel@1/hash@1 value
|
|
c9436464 6427e10f 423837e5 59898ef0 2c97b988
|
|
fdtput -tx image.fit /images/kernel@1/hash@1 value c9436464 6427e10f 423837e5 59898ef0 2c97b981
|
|
|
|
Now check it again:
|
|
|
|
$UOUT/tools/fit_check_sign -f image.fit -k am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb
|
|
Verifying Hash Integrity ... sha1,rsa2048:devrsa_verify_with_keynode: RSA failed to verify: -13

|

|
|
-
|
|
Failed to verify required signature 'key-dev'
|
|
Signature check Bad (error 1)
|
|
|
|
This time we don't even get as far as checking the images, since the
|
|
configuration signature doesn't match. We can't change any hashes without the
|
|
signature check noticing. The configuration is essentially locked. U-Boot has
|
|
a public key for which it requires a match, and will not permit the use of any
|
|
configuration that does not match that public key. The only way the
|
|
configuration will match is if it was signed by the matching private key.
|
|
|
|
It would also be possible to add a new signature node that does match your new
|
|
configuration. But that won't work since you are not allowed to change the
|
|
configuration in any way. Try it with a fresh (valid) image if you like by
|
|
running the mkimage link again. Then:
|
|
|
|
fdtput -p image.fit /configurations/conf@1/signature@2 value fred
|
|
$UOUT/tools/fit_check_sign -f image.fit -k am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Of course it would be possible to add an entirely new configuration and boot
|
|
with that, but it still needs to be signed, so it won't help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Put the public key into U-Boot's image
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Having confirmed that the signature is doing its job, let's try it out in
|
|
U-Boot on the board. U-Boot needs access to the public key corresponding to
|
|
the private key that you signed with so that it can verify any kernels that
|
|
you sign.
|
|
|
|
cd $UBOOT
|
|
make O=b/am335x_boneblack_vboot EXT_DTB=${WORK}/am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb
|
|
|
|
Here we are overrriding the normal device tree file with our one, which
|
|
contains the public key.
|
|
|
|
Now you have a special U-Boot image with the public key. It can verify can
|
|
kernel that you sign with the private key as in step 5.
|
|
|
|
If you like you can take a look at the public key information that mkimage
|
|
added to U-Boot's device tree:
|
|
|
|
fdtget -p am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb /signature/key-dev
|
|
required
|
|

This has information about the key and some pre-processed values which U-Boot
|
|
can use to verify against it. These values are obtained from the public key
|
|
certificate by mkimage, but require quite a bit of code to generate. To save
|
|
code space in U-Boot, the information is extracted and written in raw form for
|
|
U-Boot to easily use. The same mechanism is used in Google's Chrome OS.
|
|
|
|
Notice the 'required' property. This marks the key as required - U-Boot will
|
|
not boot any image that does not verify against this key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Put U-Boot and the kernel onto the board
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The method here varies depending on how you are booting. For this example we
|
|
are booting from an micro-SD card with two partitions, one for U-Boot and one
|
|
for Linux. Put it into your machine and write U-Boot and the kernel to it.
|
|
Here the card is /dev/sde:
|
|
|
|
cd $WORK
|
|
export UDEV=/dev/sde1 # Change thes two lines to the correct device
|
|
export KDEV=/dev/sde2
|
|
sudo mount $UDEV /mnt/tmp && sudo cp $UOUT/u-boot-dtb.img /mnt/tmp/u-boot.img && sleep 1 && sudo umount $UDEV
|
|
sudo mount $KDEV /mnt/tmp && sudo cp $WORK/image.fit /mnt/tmp/boot/image.fit && sleep 1 && sudo umount $KDEV
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Try it
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Boot the board using the commands below:
|
|
|
|
setenv bootargs console=ttyO0,115200n8 quiet root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootwait
|
|
ext2load mmc 0:2 82000000 /boot/image.fit
|
|
bootm 82000000
|
|
|
|
You should then see something like this:
|
|
|
|
U-Boot# setenv bootargs console=ttyO0,115200n8 quiet root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootwait
|
|
U-Boot# ext2load mmc 0:2 82000000 /boot/image.fit
|
|

At this point your kernel has been verified and you can be sure that it is one
|
|
that you signed. As an exercise, try changing image.fit as in step 5 and see
|
|
what happens.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Further Improvements
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Several of the steps here can be easily automated. In particular it would be
|
|
capital if signing and packaging a kernel were easy, perhaps a simple make
|
|
target in the kernel.
|
|
|
|
Some mention of how to use multiple .dtb files in a FIT might be useful.
|
|
|
|
U-Boot's verified boot mechanism has not had a robust and independent security
|
|
review. Such a review should look at the implementation and its resistance to
|
|
attacks.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps the verified boot feature could could be integrated into the Amstrom
|
|
distribution.
