| Trusted Applications |
| #################### |
| This document tells how to implement a Trusted Application for OP-TEE, using |
| OP-TEE's so called `TA-devkit` to both build and sign the Trusted Application |
| binary. In this document, a `Trusted Application` running in the OP-TEE os is |
| referred to as a `TA`. |
| Note that in the default setup a private key generated by Linaro and |
| distributed along with the :ref:`optee_os` source is used for signing Trusted |
| Applications. |
| See TASign_ for more details, including offline signing of TAs. |
| |
| TA Mandatory files |
| ****************** |
| The Makefile for a Trusted Application must be written to rely on OP-TEE |
| TA-devkit resources in order to successfully build the target application. |
| TA-devkit is built when one builds :ref:`optee_os`. |
| |
| .. todo:: |
| |
| Joakim: We need to add CMake instructions also. |
| |
| To build a TA, one must provide: |
| |
| - **Makefile**, a make file that should set some configuration variables and |
| include the TA-devkit make file. |
| |
| - **sub.mk**, a make file that lists the sources to build (local source |
| files, subdirectories to parse, source file specific build directives). |
| |
| - **user_ta_header_defines.h**, a specific ANSI-C header file to define most |
| of the TA properties. |
| |
| - An implementation of at least the TA entry points, as extern functions: |
| ``TA_CreateEntryPoint()``, ``TA_DestroyEntryPoint()``, |
| ``TA_OpenSessionEntryPoint()``, ``TA_CloseSessionEntryPoint()``, |
| ``TA_InvokeCommandEntryPoint()`` |
| |
| TA file layout example |
| ====================== |
| As an example, :ref:`hello_world` looks like this: |
| |
| .. code-block:: none |
| |
| hello_world/ |
| ├── ... |
| └── ta |
| ├── Makefile BINARY=<uuid> |
| ├── Android.mk Android way to invoke the Makefile |
| ├── sub.mk srcs-y += hello_world_ta.c |
| ├── include |
| │ └── hello_world_ta.h Header exported to non-secure: TA commands API |
| ├── hello_world_ta.c Implementation of TA entry points |
| └── user_ta_header_defines.h TA_UUID, TA_FLAGS, TA_DATA/STACK_SIZE, ... |
| |
| TA Makefile Basics |
| ****************** |
| Required variables |
| ================== |
| The main TA-devkit make file is located in :ref:`optee_os` at |
| ``ta/mk/ta_dev_kit.mk``. The make file supports make targets such as ``all`` and |
| ``clean`` to build a TA or a library and clean the built objects. |
| |
| The make file expects a couple of configuration variables: |
| |
| TA_DEV_KIT_DIR |
| Base directory of the TA-devkit. Used by the TA-devkit itself to locate its tools. |
| |
| BINARY and LIBNAME |
| These are exclusive, meaning that you cannot use both at the same time. If |
| building a TA, ``BINARY`` shall provide the TA filename used to load the TA. |
| The built and signed TA binary file will be named ``${BINARY}.ta``. In |
| native OP-TEE, it is the TA UUID, used by tee-supplicant to identify TAs. If |
| one is building a static library (that will be later linked by a TA), then |
| ``LIBNAME`` shall provide the name of the library. The generated library |
| binary file will be named ``lib${LIBNAME}.a`` |
| |
| CROSS_COMPILE and CROSS_COMPILE32 |
| Cross compiler for the TA or the library source files. ``CROSS_COMPILE32`` |
| is optional. It allows to target AArch32 builds on AArch64 capable systems. |
| On AArch32 systems, ``CROSS_COMPILE32`` defaults to ``CROSS_COMPILE``. |
| |
| Optional variables |
| ================== |
| Some optional configuration variables can be supported, for example: |
| |
| O |
| Base directory for build objects filetree. If not set, TA-devkit defaults to |
| **./out** from the TA source tree base directory. |
| |
| Example Makefile |
| ================ |
| A typical Makefile for a TA looks something like this |
| |
| .. code-block:: Makefile |
| |
| # Append specific configuration to the C source build (here log=info) |
| # The UUID for the Trusted Application |
| BINARY=8aaaf200-2450-11e4-abe2-0002a5d5c51b |
| |
| # Source the TA-devkit make file |
| include $(TA_DEV_KIT_DIR)/mk/ta_dev_kit.mk |
| |
| .. _build_trusted_applications_submk: |
| |
| sub.mk directives |
| ================= |
| The make file expects that current directory contains a file ``sub.mk`` that is |
| the entry point for listing the source files to build and other specific build |
| directives. Here are a couple of examples of directives one can implement in a |
| sub.mk make file: |
| |
| .. code-block:: Makefile |
| |
| # Adds /hello_world_ta.c from current directory to the list of the source |
| # file to build and link. |
| srcs-y += hello_world_ta.c |
| |
| # Includes path **./include/** from the current directory to the include |
| # path. |
| global-incdirs-y += include/ |
| |
| # Adds directive -Wno-strict-prototypes only to the file hello_world_ta.c |
| cflags-hello_world_ta.c-y += -Wno-strict-prototypes |
| |
| # Removes directive -Wno-strict-prototypes from the build directives for |
| # hello_world_ta.c only. |
| cflags-remove-hello_world_ta.c-y += -Wno-strict-prototypes |
| |
| # Adds the static library foo to the list of the linker directive -lfoo. |
| libnames += foo |
| |
| # Adds the directory path to the libraries pathes list. Archive file |
| # libfoo.a is expected in this directory. |
| libdirs += path/to/libfoo/install/directory |
| |
| # Adds the static library binary to the TA build dependencies. |
| libdeps += path/to/greatlib/libgreatlib.a |
| |
| Android Build Environment |
| ************************* |
| .. todo:: |
| |
| Joakim: Move this to the AOSP page? |
| |
| OP-TEE's TA-devkit supports building in an Android build environment. One can |
| write an ``Android.mk`` file for the TA (stored side by side with the Makefile). |
| Android's build system will parse the ``Android.mk`` file for the TA which in |
| turn will parse a TA-devkit Android make file to locate TA build resources. Then |
| the Android build will execute a ``make`` command to built the TA through its |
| generic Makefile file. |
| |
| A typical ``Android.mk`` file for a TA looks like this (``Android.mk`` for |
| :ref:`hello_world` is used as an example here). |
| |
| .. code-block:: Makefile |
| |
| # Define base path for the TA sources filetree |
| LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir) |
| |
| # Define the module name as the signed TA binary filename. |
| local_module := 8aaaf200-2450-11e4-abe2-0002a5d5c51b.ta |
| |
| # Include the devkit Android make script |
| include $(OPTEE_OS_DIR)/mk/aosp_optee.mk |
| |
| TA Mandatory Entry Points |
| ************************* |
| A TA must implement a couple of mandatory entry points, these are: |
| |
| .. code-block:: c |
| |
| TEE_Result TA_CreateEntryPoint(void) |
| { |
| /* Allocate some resources, init something, ... */ |
| ... |
| |
| /* Return with a status */ |
| return TEE_SUCCESS; |
| } |
| |
| void TA_DestroyEntryPoint(void) |
| { |
| /* Release resources if required before TA destruction */ |
| ... |
| } |
| |
| TEE_Result TA_OpenSessionEntryPoint(uint32_t ptype, |
| TEE_Param param[4], |
| void **session_id_ptr) |
| { |
| /* Check client identity, and alloc/init some session resources if any */ |
| ... |
| |
| /* Return with a status */ |
| return TEE_SUCCESS; |
| } |
| |
| void TA_CloseSessionEntryPoint(void *sess_ptr) |
| { |
| /* check client and handle session resource release, if any */ |
| ... |
| } |
| |
| TEE_Result TA_InvokeCommandEntryPoint(void *session_id, |
| uint32_t command_id, |
| uint32_t parameters_type, |
| TEE_Param parameters[4]) |
| { |
| /* Decode the command and process execution of the target service */ |
| ... |
| |
| /* Return with a status */ |
| return TEE_SUCCESS; |
| } |
| |
| .. _build_ta_properties: |
| |
| TA Properties |
| ************* |
| Trusted Application properties shall be defined in a header file named |
| ``user_ta_header_defines.h``, which should contain: |
| |
| - ``TA_UUID`` defines the TA uuid value |
| - ``TA_FLAGS`` define some of the TA properties |
| - ``TA_STACK_SIZE`` defines the RAM size to be reserved for TA stack |
| - ``TA_DATA_SIZE`` defines the RAM size to be reserved for TA heap (TEE_Malloc() |
| pool) |
| |
| Refer to :ref:`ta_properties` to understand how to configure these macros. |
| |
| .. hint:: |
| |
| UUIDs can be generated using python |
| |
| .. code-block:: python |
| |
| python -c 'import uuid; print(uuid.uuid4())' |
| |
| or in most Linux systems using either |
| |
| .. code-block:: bash |
| |
| cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid # Linux only |
| uuidgen # available from the util-linux package in most distributions |
| |
| |
| |
| .. _user_ta_header_defines_h: |
| |
| Example of a property header file |
| ================================= |
| |
| .. code-block:: c |
| |
| #ifndef USER_TA_HEADER_DEFINES_H |
| #define USER_TA_HEADER_DEFINES_H |
| |
| #define TA_UUID |
| { 0x8aaaf200, 0x2450, 0x11e4, \ |
| { 0xab, 0xe2, 0x00, 0x02, 0xa5, 0xd5, 0xc5, 0x1b} } |
| |
| #define TA_FLAGS (TA_FLAG_EXEC_DDR | \ |
| TA_FLAG_SINGLE_INSTANCE | \ |
| TA_FLAG_MULTI_SESSION) |
| #define TA_STACK_SIZE (2 * 1024) |
| #define TA_DATA_SIZE (32 * 1024) |
| |
| #define TA_CURRENT_TA_EXT_PROPERTIES \ |
| { "gp.ta.description", USER_TA_PROP_TYPE_STRING, "Foo TA for some purpose." }, \ |
| { "gp.ta.version", USER_TA_PROP_TYPE_U32, &(const uint32_t){ 0x0100 } } |
| |
| #endif /* USER_TA_HEADER_DEFINES_H */ |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| It is recommended to use the ``TA_CURRENT_TA_EXT_PROPERTIES`` as above to |
| define extra properties of the TA. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| Generating a fresh UUID with suitable formatting for the header file can be |
| done using: |
| |
| .. code-block:: python |
| |
| python -c "import uuid; u=uuid.uuid4(); print(u); \ |
| n = [', 0x'] * 11; \ |
| n[::2] = ['{:12x}'.format(u.node)[i:i + 2] for i in range(0, 12, 2)]; \ |
| print('\n' + '#define TA_UUID\n\t{ ' + \ |
| '0x{:08x}'.format(u.time_low) + ', ' + \ |
| '0x{:04x}'.format(u.time_mid) + ', ' + \ |
| '0x{:04x}'.format(u.time_hi_version) + ', \\ \n\n\t\t{ ' + \ |
| '0x{:02x}'.format(u.clock_seq_hi_variant) + ', ' + \ |
| '0x{:02x}'.format(u.clock_seq_low) + ', ' + \ |
| '0x' + ''.join(n) + '} }')" |
| |
| |
| Checking TA parameters |
| ********************** |
| GlobalPlatforms TEE Client APIs ``TEEC_InvokeCommand()`` and |
| ``TEE_OpenSession()`` allow clients to invoke a TA with some invocation |
| parameters: values or references to memory buffers. It is mandatory that TA's |
| verify the parameters types before using the parameters themselves. For this a |
| TA can rely on the macro ``TEE_PARAM_TYPE_GET(param_type, param_index)`` to get |
| the type of a parameter and check its value according to the expected parameter. |
| |
| For example, if a TA expects that command ID 0 comes with ``params[0]`` being a |
| input value, ``params[1]`` being a output value, and ``params[2]`` being a |
| in/out memory reference (buffer), then the TA should implemented the following |
| sequence: |
| |
| .. code-block:: c |
| |
| TEE_Result handle_command_0(void *session, uint32_t cmd_id, |
| uint32_t param_types, TEE_Param params[4]) |
| { |
| if ((TEE_PARAM_TYPE_GET(param_types, 0) != TEE_PARAM_TYPE_VALUE_IN) || |
| (TEE_PARAM_TYPE_GET(param_types, 1) != TEE_PARAM_TYPE_VALUE_OUT) || |
| (TEE_PARAM_TYPE_GET(param_types, 2) != TEE_PARAM_TYPE_MEMREF_INOUT) || |
| (TEE_PARAM_TYPE_GET(param_types, 3) != TEE_PARAM_TYPE_NONE)) { |
| return TEE_ERROR_BAD_PARAMETERS |
| } |
| |
| /* process command */ |
| ... |
| } |
| |
| TEE_Result TA_InvokeCommandEntryPoint(void *session, uint32_t command_id, |
| uint32_t param_types, TEE_Param params[4]) |
| { |
| switch (command_id) { |
| case 0: |
| return handle_command_0(session, param_types, params); |
| |
| default: |
| return TEE_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED; |
| } |
| } |
| |
| .. _TASign: |
| |
| Signing of TAs |
| ************** |
| |
| All :ref:`REE Filesystem Trusted Applications<ree_fs_ta>` need to be signed. The |
| signature is verified by :ref:`optee_os` upon loading of the TA. Within the |
| :ref:`optee_os` source is a directory ``keys``. The public part of |
| ``keys/default_ta.pem`` will be compiled into the :ref:`optee_os` binary and the |
| signature of each TA will be verified against this key upon loading. Currently |
| ``keys/default_ta.pem`` must contain an RSA key. |
| |
| .. warning:: |
| |
| :ref:`optee_os` comes with a default **private** key in its source to |
| facilitate easy development, testing, debugging and QA. Never deploy an |
| :ref:`optee_os` binary with this key in production. Instead replace this key |
| as soon as possible with a public key and keep the private part of the key |
| offline, preferably on an HSM. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| Currently only a single key for signing TAs is supported by :ref:`optee_os`. |
| |
| TAs are signed using the ``sign.py`` script referenced from |
| ``ta/mk/ta_dev_kit.mk`` in :ref:`optee_os`. Its default behaviour is to sign a |
| compiled TA binary and attach the signature to form a complete TA for |
| deployment. For **offline** signing, a three-step process is required: In a |
| first step a digest of the compiled binary has to be generated, in the second |
| step this digest is signed offline using the private key and finally in the |
| third step the binary and its signature are stitched together into the full TA. |
| |
| Offline Signing of TAs |
| ====================== |
| |
| The TA dev kit does sign an application as last step of the linking process. For |
| example, the file ``ta/arch/arm/link.mk`` in the :ref:`optee_os` source tree |
| contains the statement |
| |
| .. code-block:: sh |
| |
| $(q)$(SIGN) --key $(TA_SIGN_KEY) --uuid $(user-ta-uuid) \ |
| --in $$< --out $$@ |
| |
| To avoid build errors when signing offline, this make script needs to be |
| adopted. The signing script can be found at |
| ``$(TA_DEV_KIT_DIR)/../scripts/sign.py`` |
| |
| Overall, offline signing is done with the following sequence of steps: |
| |
| 0. (Preparation) Generate a 2048 bit RSA key for signing in a secure, offline |
| environment. Extract the public key and copy it to the ``keys`` directory in the |
| :ref:`optee_os` source tree. Adjust ``TA_SIGN_KEY`` for different file/path |
| names. (Copy and) modify the ``link.mk`` file for the default linking step to |
| produce a digest of the TA binary instead of the full TA. |
| |
| 1. Manually (or with the modified linking script) generate a digest of the TA |
| binary using |
| |
| .. code-block:: sh |
| |
| sign.py digest --key $(TA_SIGN_KEY) --uuid $(user-ta-uuid) |
| |
| 2. Sign this digest offline, e.g. with OpenSSL |
| |
| .. code-block:: sh |
| |
| base64 --decode digestfile | \ |
| openssl pkeyutl -sign -inkey $TA_SIGN_KEY \ |
| -pkeyopt digest:sha256 -pkeyopt rsa_padding_mode:pkcs1 | \ |
| base64 > sigfile |
| |
| or with pkcs11-tool using a Nitrokey HSM |
| |
| .. code-block:: sh |
| |
| echo "0000: 3031300D 06096086 48016503 04020105 000420" | \ |
| xxd -c 19 -r > /tmp/sighdr |
| cat /tmp/sighdr $(base64 --decode digestfile) > /tmp/hashtosign |
| pkcs11-tool --id $key_id -s --login -m RSA-PKCS \ |
| --input-file /tmp/hashtosign | \ |
| base64 > sigfile |
| |
| 3. Manually (or with an extra make target) stitch the TA together using |
| |
| .. code-block:: sh |
| |
| sign.py stitch --key $(TA_SIGN_KEY) --uuid $(user-ta-uuid) |
| |
| By default the UUID is taken as the base file name for all files. Different file |
| names and paths can be set through additional options to ``sign.py``. Consult |
| ``sign.py --help`` for a full list of options and parameters. |
