  1. ==========================
  2. Trusted and Encrypted Keys
  3. ==========================
  4. Trusted and Encrypted Keys are two new key types added to the existing kernel
  5. key ring service. Both of these new types are variable length symmetric keys,
  6. and in both cases all keys are created in the kernel, and user space sees,
  7. stores, and loads only encrypted blobs. Trusted Keys require the availability
  8. of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip for greater security, while Encrypted
  9. Keys can be used on any system. All user level blobs, are displayed and loaded
  10. in hex ascii for convenience, and are integrity verified.
  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. By default, trusted keys are sealed under the SRK, which has the default
  19. authorization value (20 zeros). This can be set at takeownership time with the
  20. trouser's utility: "tpm_takeownership -u -z".
  21. Usage::
  22. keyctl add trusted name "new keylen [options]" ring
  23. keyctl add trusted name "load hex_blob [pcrlock=pcrnum]" ring
  24. keyctl update key "update [options]"
  25. keyctl print keyid
  26. options:
  27. keyhandle= ascii hex value of sealing key default 0x40000000 (SRK)
  28. keyauth= ascii hex auth for sealing key default 0x00...i
  29. (40 ascii zeros)
  30. blobauth= ascii hex auth for sealed data default 0x00...
  31. (40 ascii zeros)
  32. pcrinfo= ascii hex of PCR_INFO or PCR_INFO_LONG (no default)
  33. pcrlock= pcr number to be extended to "lock" blob
  34. migratable= 0|1 indicating permission to reseal to new PCR values,
  35. default 1 (resealing allowed)
  36. hash= hash algorithm name as a string. For TPM 1.x the only
  37. allowed value is sha1. For TPM 2.x the allowed values
  38. are sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512 and sm3-256.
  39. policydigest= digest for the authorization policy. must be calculated
  40. with the same hash algorithm as specified by the 'hash='
  41. option.
  42. policyhandle= handle to an authorization policy session that defines the
  43. same policy and with the same hash algorithm as was used to
  44. seal the key.
  45. "keyctl print" returns an ascii hex copy of the sealed key, which is in standard
  46. TPM_STORED_DATA format. The key length for new keys are always in bytes.
  47. Trusted Keys can be 32 - 128 bytes (256 - 1024 bits), the upper limit is to fit
  48. within the 2048 bit SRK (RSA) keylength, with all necessary structure/padding.
  49. Encrypted keys do not depend on a TPM, and are faster, as they use AES for
  50. encryption/decryption. New keys are created from kernel generated random
  51. numbers, and are encrypted/decrypted using a specified 'master' key. The
  52. 'master' key can either be a trusted-key or user-key type. The main
  53. disadvantage of encrypted keys is that if they are not rooted in a trusted key,
  54. they are only as secure as the user key encrypting them. The master user key
  55. should therefore be loaded in as secure a way as possible, preferably early in
  56. boot.
  57. The decrypted portion of encrypted keys can contain either a simple symmetric
  58. key or a more complex structure. The format of the more complex structure is
  59. application specific, which is identified by 'format'.
  60. Usage::
  61. keyctl add encrypted name "new [format] key-type:master-key-name keylen"
  62. ring
  63. keyctl add encrypted name "load hex_blob" ring
  64. keyctl update keyid "update key-type:master-key-name"
  65. Where::
  66. format:= 'default | ecryptfs'
  67. key-type:= 'trusted' | 'user'
  68. Examples of trusted and encrypted key usage:
  69. Create and save a trusted key named "kmk" of length 32 bytes::
  70. $ keyctl add trusted kmk "new 32" @u
  71. 440502848

  111. The initial consumer of trusted keys is EVM, which at boot time needs a high
  112. quality symmetric key for HMAC protection of file metadata. The use of a
  113. trusted key provides strong guarantees that the EVM key has not been
  114. compromised by a user level problem, and when sealed to specific boot PCR
  115. values, protects against boot and offline attacks. Create and save an
  116. encrypted key "evm" using the above trusted key "kmk":
  117. option 1: omitting 'format'::
  118. $ keyctl add encrypted evm "new trusted:kmk 32" @u
  119. 159771175
  120. option 2: explicitly defining 'format' as 'default'::
  121. $ keyctl add encrypted evm "new default trusted:kmk 32" @u
  122. 159771175
  123. $ keyctl print 159771175
  124. default trusted:kmk 32 2375725ad57798846a9bbd240de8906f006e66c03af53b1b3

  135. Other uses for trusted and encrypted keys, such as for disk and file encryption
  136. are anticipated. In particular the new format 'ecryptfs' has been defined in
  137. in order to use encrypted keys to mount an eCryptfs filesystem. More details
  138. about the usage can be found in the file
  139. ``Documentation/security/keys/ecryptfs.rst``.
