Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] KEYS: trusted: Introduce support for NXP CAAM-based trusted keys

The first three patches are new and are applicable regardless of this
series, but the rest won't apply cleanly without them. I chose to
include them this time, but I can split them up for v3 if that's
preferred.

v1 -> v2:
- Added new commit to make trusted key Kconfig option independent
of TPM and added new Kconfig file and symbols for trusted keys
- Add new commit for importing existing key material (Jan)
- Allow users to force use of kernel RNG (Jarkko)
- Enforce maximum keymod size (Horia)
- Use append_seq_(in|out)_ptr_intlen instead of append_seq_(in|out)_ptr
(Horia)
- Make blobifier handle private to CAAM glue code file (Horia)
- Extend trusted keys documentation for CAAM
- Rebased on v5.12-rc7 and updated cover letter:

The Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM) is an IP core
built into many newer i.MX and QorIQ SoCs by NXP.

Its blob mechanism can AES encrypt/decrypt user data using a unique
never-disclosed device-specific key.

There has been multiple discussions on how to represent this within the kernel:

Its blob mechanism can AES encrypt/decrypt user data using a unique
never-disclosed device-specific key. There has been multiple
discussions on how to represent this within the kernel:

- [RFC] crypto: caam - add red blobifier
Steffen implemented[1] a PoC sysfs driver to start a discussion on how to
best integrate the blob mechanism.
Mimi suggested that it could be used to implement trusted keys.
Trusted keys back then were a TPM-only feature.

- security/keys/secure_key: Adds the secure key support based on CAAM.
Udit added[2] a new "secure" key type with the CAAM as backend. The key
material stays within the kernel only.
Mimi and James agreed that this needs a generic interface, not specific
to CAAM. Mimi suggested trusted keys. Jan noted that this could serve as
basis for TEE-backed keys.

- [RFC] drivers: crypto: caam: key: Add caam_tk key type
Franck added[3] a new "caam_tk" key type based on Udit's work. This time
it uses CAAM "black blobs" instead of "red blobs", so key material stays
within the CAAM and isn't exposed to kernel in plaintext.
James voiced the opinion that there should be just one user-facing generic
wrap/unwrap key type with multiple possible handlers.
David suggested trusted keys.

- Introduce TEE based Trusted Keys support
Sumit reworked[4] trusted keys to support multiple possible backends with
one chosen at boot time and added a new TEE backend along with TPM.
This now sits in Jarkko's master branch to be sent out for v5.13

This patch series builds on top of Sumit's rework to have the CAAM as yet another
trusted key backend.

The CAAM bits are based on Steffen's initial patch from 2015. His work had been
used in the field for some years now, so I preferred not to deviate too much from it.

This series has been tested with dmcrypt[5] on an i.MX6DL.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Cheers,
Ahmad

Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] KEYS: trusted: Introduce support for NXP CAAM-based trusted keys

The Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM) is an IP core
built into many newer i.MX and QorIQ SoCs by NXP.

The CAAM does crypto acceleration, hardware number generation and
has a blob mechanism for encapsulation/decapsulation of sensitive material.

This blob mechanism depends on a device specific random 256-bit One Time
Programmable Master Key that is fused in each SoC at manufacturing
time. This key is unreadable and can only be used by the CAAM for AES
encryption/decryption of user data.

This makes it a suitable backend (source) for kernel trusted keys.

Previous commits generalized trusted keys to support multiple backends
and added an API to access the CAAM blob mechanism. Based on these,
provide the necessary glue to use the CAAM for trusted keys.

I'm still think that hard coding the key modifier is not wise.
As I said[0], there are folks out there that want to provide their own modifier,
so it is not only about being binary compatible with other CAAM blob patches in the wild.

I'll happily implement that feature after your patches got merged but IMHO we should first agree on an interface.
How about allowing another optional parameter to Opt_new and Opt_load and having a key modifier
per struct trusted_key_payload instance?

Thanks,
//richard

I don't think the characterization as a salt is accurate. AFAIU it's more
of a namespace, so blobs being loaded are "type-checked" against the modifier.

Sound good to me. pcrlock for TPM trusted keys has the same interface.

I'd prefer the new option to accept strings, not hex though.


> and having a key modifier per struct trusted_key_payload instance?

Ye, possibly a void *backend_data, which other trust sources could leverage
as well. But that should be separate discussion.

Well, the CAAM programmer's reference manual states that the blob key is a 128 bit modifier
and has two purposes:
1. It can be used as tag to provide separation between blobs to detect accidental replacement of blobs.
2. But it can also be treated as secret to provide additional protection. Because the blob encryption
key derivation includes the key modifier.

While you have case 1 in mind, I care about case 2. :-)

Both is possible. If the string starts with "0x" it needs to be decoded to a
128 bit key. Otherwise it has to be a up to 16 byte string.

Ah, using the key modifier as a passphrase didn't occur to me.

I'm not sure how to proceed. Should I base my changes on this series
or do you plan to send an updated
version soon?
Maybe it makes also sense to base my DCP patch set on yours.

Trusted Keys maintainers, what do you prefer?

I sent out v3 despite the name (of course forgot that git-send-email -vX is silently
dropped when sending patch files directly..):

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/cover.9fc9298fd9d63553491871d043a18affc2dbc8a8.1626885907.git-series.a.fatoum@pengutronix.de/T/#t

I'd advise you base your changes on the first two patches there as well as the Kconfig fix/enhancement
I sent out separately:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/[email protected]/T/#u

Those are relevant for you as well and I assume they should be good to be merged even if the
CAAM series turns out to need some more love.

Cheers,
Ahmad
