h1. Trusted Platform Module 2.0

{{>toc}}

h2. Connect to a TPM 2.0 Device

h3. Install the tpm2-tss Software Stack and the tpm2-tools Command Set

In order to connect to a TPM 2.0 hardware or firmware device a software stack implementing the "TCG TSS 2.0 System Level API":https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/resource/tcg-tss-2-0-system-level-api-sapi-specification/ is needed. An excellent open source "tpm2-tss":https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss library is available from the "tpm2-software":https://github.com/tpm2-software project which also offers a set of "tpm2-tools":https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tools which itself uses the "TCG TSS 2.0 Enhanced System Level API":https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/resource/tcg-tss-2-0-enhanced-system-api-esapi-specification/.

When using the latest *strongswan-5.9.1* version with a *Linux 5.4* kernel or newer, we recommend these latest versions:

* *tpm2-tss* version 3.0.3: https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss/releases/tag/3.0.3

* *tpm2-tools* version 5.0: https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tools/releases/tag/5.0

Support for earlier strongSwan versions and Linux kernels can be found [[TpmPluginOld|here]].

In order to test if we can connect to the TPM 2.0 device we list all persistent keys stored in the Non-Volatile (NV) RAM:

<pre>

tpm2_getcap handles-persistent

- 0x81000001

- 0x81000002

- 0x81010001

</pre>

A manual showing all *tpm2-tools* functions with their arguments can be found "here":https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tools/tree/5.0/man. The access to the */dev/tpmrm0* TPM resource manager device requires *root* rights on most Linux platforms. But e.g. with Ubuntu, adding the user to the *tss* group enables direct access to the TPM device:

<pre>

sudo usermod -a -G tss <username>

</pre>

h3. Enable the strongSwan tpm Plugin

The strongSwan libtpmtss *tpm* plugin and the TSS2 interface are enabled and built with the following options

  ./configure --enable-tss-tss2 --enable-tpm  ...

With the strongSwan *pki* tool we can now list the persistent key stored under the handle *0x81010001*

<pre>

pki --print --type priv --keyid 0x81010001 --debug 2

With debug level 2 some basic information on the TPM device is shown which is a second generation Intel firmware TPM 

h2. Derive a Persistent RSA Endorsement Key

The following tpm2-tools command derives a 2048 bit RSA Endorsement Key (EK) in a deterministic way from the secret _Endorsement Primary Seed_ *unique* to each TPM device and makes the key persistent in the non-volatile memory of the TPM under the object handle 0x81010001

 tpm2_getpubek -H 0x81010001 -g rsa -f ek_rsa.pub

The EK public key stored in the ek_rsa.pub file is encoded in a TPM 2.0 proprietary format but the key can be exported from the TPM in the regular PKCS#1 format using the *pki* tool

 pki --pub --keyid 0x81010001 --outform pem > ek_rsa_pub.pem

The fingerprint of the RSA EK public key can be displayed with the command

 pki --print --type pub --in ek_rsa_pub.pem

  pubkey:    RSA 2048 bits

  keyid:     d1:f1:49:84:36:44:e6:8c:d2:a6:69:ee:fd:b5:7d:56:2f:39:ff:58

  subjkey:   c1:1b:8e:f1:c7:f8:8a:1e:9a:dd:7e:82:2f:7a:a3:f5:c0:e2:4d:7d

h2. Generate a Persistent RSA Attestation Key

A 2048 bit RSA Attestation Key (AK) bound to the EK with handle 0x81010001 can be created and made persistent under the handle 0x81010002 with the following tpm2-tools command

 tpm2_getpubak -E 0x81010001 -g rsa -D sha256 -s rsassa -k 0x81010002 -P 123456 -f ak_rsa2.pub -n ak_rsa2.name

This AK key is protected by the PIN (-P parameter) *123456*. The AK public key can now be exported in PKCS#1 format from the TPM using the *pki* tool

 pki --pub --keyid 0x81010002 --outform pem > ak_rsa_pub.pem

The fingerprint of the RSA AK public key can be displayed with the command

 pki --print --type pub --in ak_rsa_pub.pem

  pubkey:    RSA 2048 bits

  keyid:     71:21:f5:d4:7e:59:4a:88:16:ca:57:85:98:3d:36:a7:b1:d5:75:fa

  subjkey:   f4:9e:85:7d:de:4e:67:f5:fb:87:03:98:67:3f:20:7c:f3:3f:2b:66

h2. Derive a Persistent ECC Endorsement Key

The following tpm2-tools command derives a 256 bit ECC Endorsement Key (EK) in a deterministic way from the secret _Endorsement Primary Seed_ *unique* to each TPM device and makes the key persistent in the non-volatile memory of the TPM under the object handle 0x81010003:

 tpm2_getpubek -H 0x81010003 -g ecc -f ek_ecc.pub

Without exporting the public key first the fingerprint of the ECC EK private key can be directly displayed with the command

 pki --print --type priv --keyid 0x81010003

  pubkey:    ECDSA 256 bits

  keyid:     7f:39:ca:e6:83:9b:a9:06:97:40:27:6a:e1:bf:8f:f5:9f:d3:a5:31

  subjkey:   8b:43:4d:5e:5e:7b:ff:c2:54:4d:ef:88:cb:0c:7c:47:75:28:4d:09

h2. Generate a Persistent ECC Attestation Key

A 256 bit ECC Attestation Key (AK) bound to the EK with handle 0x81010003 can be created and made persistent under the handle 0x81010004 with the following tpm2-tools command

 tpm2_getpubak -E 0x81010003 -g ecc -D sha256 -s ecdsa -k 0x81010004 -f ak_ecc4.pub -n ak_ecc4.name

The AK public key can be exported in PKCS#1 format from the TPM using the *pki* tool

 pki --pub --keyid 0x81010004 > ak_ecc_pub.der

The fingerprint of the ECC AK public key can be displayed with the command

 pki --print --type pub --in ak_ecc_pub.der

  pubkey:    ECDSA 256 bits

  keyid:     71:49:7c:42:41:e7:c6:81:bc:31:73:f0:0f:7e:4a:e1:2d:53:00:38

  subjkey:   c7:0e:63:f8:7f:6f:f6:55:00:e5:05:7f:5a:3e:6b:6c:e7:d2:d5:13

h2. Generate Another ECC Attestation Key

Multiple AK keys bound to a common EK key can be generated

 tpm2_getpubak -E 0x81010003 -g ecc -D sha256 -s ecdsa -k 0x81010005 -f ak_ecc5.pub -n ak_ecc5.name

The fingerprint of the second ECC AK private key can be displayed with the command

 pki --print --type priv --in 0x81010005

  pubkey:    ECDSA 256 bits

  keyid:     c4:b4:9c:95:27:9e:ce:81:2f:98:42:c8:1b:f0:54:ff:d4:d1:24:34

  subjkey:   cf:44:f4:f7:9d:97:09:ad:b1:09:3a:8e:6f:23:eb:9f:2c:35:94:c9

h2. Remove a Persistent Key Object

Since the non-volatile memory of the TPM is limited any persistent key object can be removed to free storage space.

The following tpm2-tools command removes the ECC AK key with persistent handle 0x81010005

 tpm2_evictcontrol -A o -H 0x81010005 -S 0x81010005

h2. List Persistent Objects

The following tpm2-tools command lists all persistent objects stored by the TPM in non-volatile memory

 tpm2_listpersistent

<pre>

6 persistent objects defined.

0. Persistent handle: 0x81000001

{

        Type: 0x23

        Hash algorithm(nameAlg): 0xb

        Attributes: 0x30072

}

1. Persistent handle: 0x81000002

{

        Type: 0x23

        Hash algorithm(nameAlg): 0xb

        Attributes: 0x60072

}

2. Persistent handle: 0x81010001

{

        Type: 0x1

        Hash algorithm(nameAlg): 0xb

        Attributes: 0x300b2

}

3. Persistent handle: 0x81010002

{

        Type: 0x1

        Hash algorithm(nameAlg): 0xb

        Attributes: 0x50072

}

4. Persistent handle: 0x81010003

{

        Type: 0x23

        Hash algorithm(nameAlg): 0xb

        Attributes: 0x300b2

}

5. Persistent handle: 0x81010004

{

        Type: 0x23

        Hash algorithm(nameAlg): 0xb

        Attributes: 0x50072

}

</pre>

h2. Create a Demo Root CA

The following *pki* command creates a 256 bit ECDSA private key for the Demo CA

<pre>

pki --gen --type ecdsa --size 256 --outform pem > demoCaKey.pem

</pre>

Next we create a self-signed Root CA certificate

<pre>

pki --self --ca --type ecdsa --in demoCaKey.pem --dn="C=US, O=TNC Demo, CN=TNC Demo CA" --lifetime 3652 --outform pem > demoCaCert.pem

</pre>

h2. Issue an RSA AIK Certificate

Based on the RSA AK public key exported from the TPM, the following *pki* command generates an Attestation Identity Key (AIK) certificate signed by the Demo CA

<pre>

pki --issue --cacert demoCaCert.pem --cakey demoCaKey.pem --type pub --in ak_rsa_pub.der --dn "C=US, O=TNC Demo, OU=AIK RSA, CN=raspi5.example.com" --san raspi5.example.com --lifetime 3651 > raspi5_ak_rsa_Cert.der

</pre>

h2. Issue an ECC AIK Certificate

Based on the ECC AK public key exported from the TPM, the following *pki* command generates an Attestation Identity Key (AIK) certificate signed by the Demo CA

<pre>

pki --issue --cacert demoCaCert.pem --cakey demoCaKey.pem --type pub --in ak_ecc_pub.der --dn "C=US, O=TNC Demo, OU=AIK ECC, CN=raspi5.example.com" --san raspi5.example.com --lifetime 3651 > raspi5_ak_ecc_Cert.der

</pre>

Many certification authorities issue certificates based on PKCS#10 certificate requests. This approach is also possible. First a certificate request is generated on the host the TPM resides on

<pre>

 pki --req --keyid 0x81010004 --dn "C=US, O=TNC Demo, OU=AIK ECC, CN=raspi5.example.com" --san raspi5.example.com > ak_ecc_req.der

</pre>

When you are prompted for a smartcard PIN just press <enter> since this TPM private key is not protected by a PIN. In a second step the CA issues the AIK certificate based on the PKCS#10 certificate request

<pre>

pki --issue --cacert demoCaCert.pem --cakey demoCaKey.pem --type pkcs10 --in ak_ecc_req.der --lifetime 3651 > raspi5_ak_ecc_Cert.der

</pre>

h2. Store the ECC AIK Certificate in the NV RAM of the TPM

A TPM 2.0 has a certain amount of Non Volatile Random Access Memory (NV RAM) that can be used to store arbitrary data, e.g. the X.509 certificates matching the persistent keys. IF both the certificates and keys are persisted in the TPM then the system disk of the host can be reformatted at any time without loosing the machine or user credentials.As with smartcards the needed amount of memory must be reserved first so we check the size of the X.509 ECC certificate

<pre>

ls -l raspi5_ak_ecc_Cert.der

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 449 Feb 17  2017 raspi5_ak_ecc_Cert.der

</pre>

We then define a memory location with a size of 449 bytes that can be accessed via the handle 0x01800004 which is also called the NV index

<pre>

tpm2_nvdefine -x 0x01800004 -a 0x40000001 -s 449 -t 0x2000A

</pre>

Then we write the certificate file to the NV RAM destination

<pre>

tpm2_nvwrite -x 0x01800004 -a 0x40000001 raspi5_ak_ecc_Cert.der

</pre>

h2. List of NV Indexes

A list of all defined NV indexes can be obtained with

 tpm2_nvlist

<pre>

2 NV indexes defined.

  0. NV Index: 0x1500015

  {

	Hash algorithm(nameAlg):4

 	The Index attributes(attributes):0x44040004

 	The size of the data area(dataSize):4

   }

  1. NV Index: 0x1800004

  {

	Hash algorithm(nameAlg):11

 	The Index attributes(attributes):0x2002000a

 	The size of the data area(dataSize):449

   }

</pre>

h2. Remove NV Index

The memory assigned to a given NV index can be released with the command

<pre>

tpm2_nvrelease -x 0x01800001 -a 0x40000001

</pre>

h2. Configure TPM Private Key Access via VICI Interface

Configuration of TPM private key access as tokens in the secrets section of *swanctl.conf*

 secrets {

    token_ak_rsa {

       handle = 81010002

       pin = 123456

    }

    token_ak_ecc {

       handle = 81010004

    }

}

Since the use of the RSA AK private key is password-protected, the PIN *123456* is added.

h2. Define IPsec Connection with RSA AK Client Key

This connection configuration in *swanctl.conf* uses the RSA AK certificate for client authentication

<pre>

connections {

   rsa {

      local_addrs  = 10.10.0.105

      remote_addrs = 10.10.0.104

      local {

         auth = pubkey 

         certs = raspi5_ak_rsa_Cert.der

      }

      remote {

         auth = pubkey 

         id = raspi4.example.com

      }

      children {

         rsa {

            mode = transport

            esp_proposals = aes128-sha256-curve25519

         }

      }

      version = 2

      proposals = aes128-sha256-curve25519

   }

}

</pre>

h2. Define IPsec Connection with ECC AK Client Key

This connection configuration in *swanctl.conf* references the ECC AK certificate used for client authentication via its handle, i.e. the NV index

<pre>

connections {

   ecc {

      local_addrs  = 10.10.0.105

      remote_addrs = 10.10.0.104

      local {

         auth = pubkey

         cert-tpm {

            handle = 0x01800004

         }

      }

      remote {

         auth = pubkey

         id = raspi4.example.com

      }

      children {

         ecc {

            mode = transport

            esp_proposals = aes128-sha256-curve25519

         }

      }

      version = 2

      proposals = aes128-sha256-curve25519

   }

}

</pre>
