1 | Trusted and Encrypted Keys |
2 | ||
3 | Trusted and Encrypted Keys are two new key types added to the existing kernel | |
40e47125 | 4 | key ring service. Both of these new types are variable length symmetric keys, |
d00a1c72 MZ |
5 | and in both cases all keys are created in the kernel, and user space sees, |
6 | stores, and loads only encrypted blobs. Trusted Keys require the availability | |
7 | of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip for greater security, while Encrypted | |
8 | Keys can be used on any system. All user level blobs, are displayed and loaded | |
9 | in hex ascii for convenience, and are integrity verified. | |
10 | ||
11 | Trusted Keys use a TPM both to generate and to seal the keys. Keys are sealed | |
12 | under a 2048 bit RSA key in the TPM, and optionally sealed to specified PCR | |
13 | (integrity measurement) values, and only unsealed by the TPM, if PCRs and blob | |
14 | integrity verifications match. A loaded Trusted Key can be updated with new | |
15 | (future) PCR values, so keys are easily migrated to new pcr values, such as | |
16 | when the kernel and initramfs are updated. The same key can have many saved | |
17 | blobs under different PCR values, so multiple boots are easily supported. | |
18 | ||
19 | By default, trusted keys are sealed under the SRK, which has the default | |
20 | authorization value (20 zeros). This can be set at takeownership time with the | |
21 | trouser's utility: "tpm_takeownership -u -z". | |
22 | ||
23 | Usage: | |
24 | keyctl add trusted name "new keylen [options]" ring | |
25 | keyctl add trusted name "load hex_blob [pcrlock=pcrnum]" ring | |
26 | keyctl update key "update [options]" | |
27 | keyctl print keyid | |
28 | ||
29 | options: | |
30 | keyhandle= ascii hex value of sealing key default 0x40000000 (SRK) | |
31 | keyauth= ascii hex auth for sealing key default 0x00...i | |
32 | (40 ascii zeros) | |
33 | blobauth= ascii hex auth for sealed data default 0x00... | |
34 | (40 ascii zeros) | |
35 | blobauth= ascii hex auth for sealed data default 0x00... | |
36 | (40 ascii zeros) | |
37 | pcrinfo= ascii hex of PCR_INFO or PCR_INFO_LONG (no default) | |
38 | pcrlock= pcr number to be extended to "lock" blob | |
39 | migratable= 0|1 indicating permission to reseal to new PCR values, | |
40 | default 1 (resealing allowed) | |
41 | ||
42 | "keyctl print" returns an ascii hex copy of the sealed key, which is in standard | |
43 | TPM_STORED_DATA format. The key length for new keys are always in bytes. | |
44 | Trusted Keys can be 32 - 128 bytes (256 - 1024 bits), the upper limit is to fit | |
45 | within the 2048 bit SRK (RSA) keylength, with all necessary structure/padding. | |
46 | ||
47 | Encrypted keys do not depend on a TPM, and are faster, as they use AES for | |
48 | encryption/decryption. New keys are created from kernel generated random | |
49 | numbers, and are encrypted/decrypted using a specified 'master' key. The | |
50 | 'master' key can either be a trusted-key or user-key type. The main | |
51 | disadvantage of encrypted keys is that if they are not rooted in a trusted key, | |
52 | they are only as secure as the user key encrypting them. The master user key | |
53 | should therefore be loaded in as secure a way as possible, preferably early in | |
54 | boot. | |
55 | ||

56 | The decrypted portion of encrypted keys can contain either a simple symmetric |
57 | key or a more complex structure. The format of the more complex structure is | |
58 | application specific, which is identified by 'format'. | |
59 | ||

124 | The initial consumer of trusted keys is EVM, which at boot time needs a high |
125 | quality symmetric key for HMAC protection of file metadata. The use of a | |
126 | trusted key provides strong guarantees that the EVM key has not been | |
127 | compromised by a user level problem, and when sealed to specific boot PCR | |
128 | values, protects against boot and offline attacks. Create and save an | |
129 | encrypted key "evm" using the above trusted key "kmk": | |

4e561d38 | 156 | Other uses for trusted and encrypted keys, such as for disk and file encryption |
