New Project! PoC: Zepher TPM2 Software Stack

Hello and welcome,

I've got a link from a good friend of mine, and I want to share this with you:

https://github.com/drandreas/zephyr-tpm2-poc

Proof of Concept: Zepher TPM2 Software Stack
Overview

This repo tests the requirements (Code size and Memory size) for running tpm2-tss on Zephyr. The PoC is implemented on top of the Enhanced System API (ESAPI), since the Feature API (FAPI) adds additional dependencies to JSON-C and OpenSSL. Moreover, the tpm2-tools are also implemented on top of ESAPI, therefore the ESAPI should be sufficient.

And I'm really proud to see the first public-project that used the "new" Arduino2LetsTrust-Header. (I'll introduce the ArduinoAdapter in the next few days).

tpm.dev

Hello and welcome back!

Today I'm really happy and proud to introduce a new community around TPMs:

https://tpm.dev/

Tpm.dev was founded by Dimitar Tomov is a smart guy and he wants the same thing as I: Secure the world, a little more.

tpm.dev wants to be a platform:
To discuss security toppings. (mostly TPM related)
For help if you stuck on your project. (offside an old school mailing list)
Collect more useful stuff around TPMs and OpenSourceSoftware for that.

And between Lockdown there is a funny little meetup every wednesday over MS-Teams. Really interesting people are there (some of them are customers of LetsTrust-TPMs ^__^)


So feel free to join the community!

Bye for now!

New fun fact!

Welcome back!

A few weeks ago Mr. M.P. write me an email with the question: May it possible to drive two TPMs on one Pi (4)?

Mr. M., want to drive one native TPM for the Pi and a second TPM as a remote vTPM for a client application.

So i've tested the Hardware Setting for Mr. M., after a few Minutes and combine this two posts:
1) https://letstrust.de/archives/23-Move-LetsTrust-TPMs-to-CS0.html
2) https://letstrust.de/archives/20-Mainline.html

Here the results:

Electrical- and mechanical-setting:


Hardware configuration of the two TPMs:

and you'll need 2 TPMs, with one 0Ohm Resistor on position CS0. [1]


Linux log



I hope this will be helpful for you, too.


Bye for now!

A new project is online!

Hello and welcome back!

Today I'll introduce you to a new TPM project.

Pierre Fontaine combines a Raspberry Pi, Yocto and a TPM.
He invested a lot of time on his project and I'll appreciate his work with a blogpost here, here is a qoute from his website:

The Raspberry, Yocto Project and The TPM!

Overview
In the cybersecurity field we need to play with crypto primitives. It allows us to authenticate for services (ssh, vpn ...), encrypt files for confidentiality, sign mail for proving your identity to the recipient, and even securing the boot of a complex device ...

So you do need to store keys and use crypto algorithms such as RSA, ECDH, AES compliant with some criteria (industry, military, medical ...).
[1]

Thank you Pierre to share you knowledge!

Here is the Link:
Raspberry Pi, Yocto and a TPM


By for now!

Move LetsTrust-TPMs to CS0

Welcome!

The last time i get some questions about the chipselect configs for the module.

How you could move the default config from the LT-TPM CS1 to CS0.

If you want to use the TPM with CS0 you must change (resolder) the position of the 0Ohm Resistor to the open pads.

You'll see the difference if you open both pdfs:
letstrust-v2.2.placement.cs1.pdf
letstrust-v2.2.placement.cs0.pdf

If you don’t want to compile your device-tree-overlay by yourself, copy the tpm-slb9670-cs0.dtbo [1] to /boot/overlays/ and load the dtbo in the /boot/config.txt
over the setting dtoverlay=tpm-slb9670-cs0


If you want to decompile change and recompile the devicetree for the slb9670 for yourself:

1) sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler
2) dtc -I dtb -O dts -o /mnt/boot/overlays/tpm-slb9670.dts /mnt/boot/overlays/tpm-slb9670.dtbo
3) cp mnt/boot/overlays/tpm-slb9670.dts /mnt/boot/overlays/tpm-slb9670-cs0.dts
4) dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /mnt/boot/overlays/tpm-slb9670-cs0.dtbo /mnt/boot/overlays/tpm-slb9670-cs0.dts

Hardware update!

Hello!

I've updated the pcb-design,[1]

Now we have the revision 2.2!

Changes from rev 2.0 to rev 2.2 [2]
Add 100nF capacitor on the RESET line of the TPM for a better POR (Power On Reset) behavior..
Change pad 1 from octagon to square, for better identify pin 1.
Add tiny labels on every pin on the bottom side (without MISO/MOSI/CLK, no place for the labels on these pins)

I added a legend in the schematics, for better reference if you want to use the TPM on your own Hardware design.

Placement and the schematic you will find in the right column.


Bye for now

Project presentation - Keylime.dev

Hello again,

in September this year I get mail from Luke Hinds, with some questions about the compatibility from LetsTrust-TPMs and RaspberryPis to check if will work for his project.

Now I proudly happy to link to this hilarious Project: keylime.dev

Quote from Keylime.dev:
“Keylime is about making TPM technology accessible for developers and users. It handles the complexity, you drive the use case!”

Thanks to Luke and all contributors of Keylime!

vulnerability TPM-fail - LetsTrust-TPMs are not affected!

Welcome back!

no I´m not dead, \o/ ,
but the vulnerability ---TPM-fail--- need my highest attention today.

The good news: LetsTrust-TPMs are not affected!

But I'm not a friend of “hiding” information:

The SLB9670 that we used on our PCBs has the same certification levels on Common Criteria EAL4+ and FIPS 140-2 as the fTPM from Intel and the ST33 from STM.

If I get new information of the Chip on our LetsTrust-TPMs, I'll post an update here.

UPDATE: Quote from http://tpm.fail/tpmfail.pdf

Our analysis reveals that Intel fTPM and the dedicated TPM
manufactured by STMicroelectronics leak information about
the secret nonce in elliptic curve signature schemes, which
can lead to efficient recovery of the private key. As discussed
in Section 6, we also observe non-constant-time behavior by
the TPM manufactured by Infineon which does not appear
to expose an exploitable vulnerability.




Bye for now

Paul

UPDATE: Reference: tpm.fail

Reference: zdnet.com

CVE-2019-11090 and impacts Intel's Platform Trust Technology (PTT).
CVE-2019-16863 and impacts the ST33 TPM chip made by STMicroelectronics.

Mainline

Hello TPM friends,

after more than 18 months of work, compiling, testing, tears, blood...

MAINLINE! \o/
(On the RPi repository)
Now you find the dto in the newest raspbian image, per default.

To activate the TPM on your Raspberry Pi you need only these simple commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt // for new RaspberryPi OS

// and activate SPI with uncomment
"dtparam=spi=on"

// and load the TPM device tree overlay with
"dtoverlay=tpm-slb9670"

// save the config.txt

sudo reboot now

// after the reboot

ls /dev/tpm*

// if you own a LetsTrust-TPM and plug it in the right way, you will get /dev/tpm0 and /dev/tpmrm0 in yellow letters


Thanks to all supportes :-)

Bye for now!

Paul

Success!

Hello and welcome!

I´m really proud to introduce the new way to get your LetsTrust-TPM working with your Raspberry Pi!

Till the next Stretch update from the RasPi Foundation the way will be:

Step one:
Open a (whatever) term on your Pi.

Step two:
Run a "sudo rpi-update"

Step three:
Open the /boot/config.txt with "sudo nano /boot/config.txt"
and activate SPI with uncomment
"dtparam=spi=on"
and load the TPM device tree overlay with
"dtoverlay=tpm-slb9670"

Step four:
Plug your LetsTrust-TPM onto the right pins and reboot your Raspberry Pi

Step five:
Open a (whatever) term on your Pi and type "ls /dev/tpm0" and
/dev/tpm0 will appear in yellow letters!

Step six:
Be happy about your success!

Huge thanks to a friend of mine an ex colleague: Peter Hüwe.
He found this smart solution [1] for the Pull Request issues [2].

Thank you Phil Elwell for evaluation, identifying problems and finally merging the PR [3]


Bye for now!

Hello everybody,

months without new blog posts, please apoligize, I had so much to do the last months.

Now i´ved patched the last Raspbian-Image "Stretch" with the TPM-SPI-driver, you´ll find the Image on this LINK.
In this Image the eltt2 tool ist NOT pre compiled.

please use:

git clone https://github.com/Infineon/eltt2.git
cd eltt2
make
sudo ./eltt2 -g
sudo ./eltt2 -h


Have fun!

Bye for now!

Paul


// Deutsche Version

Hallo zusammen,

Monate ohne neue Blog-Postings, bitte entschuldigt, ich hatte einfach zu viel zu tun./

So, jetzt habe ich das letzte Raspbian-Image "Stretch" mit dem TPM-SPI-Treiber gepatcht, dieses findest du auf diesem LINK..

In diesem Image ist das eltt2-Tool NICHT vorkompiliert.

Um dies zu ändern:

git clone https://github.com/Infineon/eltt2.git
cd eltt2
make
sudo ./eltt2 -g
sudo ./eltt2 -h


Das wars für heute!

Updates!

//Germanversion below

Hello everybody,

currently there is a problem in the firmware of the TPM chip from Infineon which was installed on the LetsTrust TPM modules.

Information about the problem can be found at the following links:
https://www.infineon.com/TPM-update
https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-us/security-guidance/advisory/ADV170012
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/tpm_firmware_update

Not affected are firmware versions >= 7.62.3126 for TPM 2.0.
You can check this under Linux with the eltt2 and the command "sudo ./eltt2 -g".

Unfortunately, there is currently no update tool which I could link here.


Max of pi3g has assured that he will take care of the rapid exchange of the modules.

Please note that when exchanging your module, all keys generated in the TPM and, of course, the stored keys will also be lost. Please take appropriate measures, for example, endcrypt your backups ^ __ ^.

Bye for now!

was lange währt wird endlich gut.

Neues Plug&Play Image und diesmal: Eines für alle RaspberryPi´s!

Es handelt sich hierbei um ein frisches "Jessie" Image vom 21.06.2017 mit dem Kernel 4.9.33.
Der Pinguin hat freundlicherweise ein ungestartetes Jessie wie in diesem Post beschrieben modifiziert.

Lade dir das Image herunter.
Entpacke es und spiele das Image auf eine SD-Karte.
(Hierbei wird alles auf der SD-Karte vernichtet!)

Einfacher gehts nun fast nicht mehr.

Ist das LetsTrust-TPM an der richtigen Stelle und vor dem Booten gesteckt solltest du mit:
ls /dev/tpm0
dich vergewissern, dass das TPM erkannt wurde.

Nun zum ersten Kommando zum TPM
Im home Verzeichnis findet ihr im Ordner "TPM-Tools" das eltt2.

Öffnet ein Terminal:
cd /TPM-Tools/eltt2/
make
sudo ./eltt2 -G 20

Ihr habt nun 20 Byte Zufallszahlen vom LetsTrust-TPM erhalten!

Bis bald!

LetsTrust TPM und los gehts!

So, ich habe nun das Modul, und jetzt?
UPDATE:

Es gibt nun ein neues Plug&Play Image: Eines für alle Pi´s.

Hier findest du den Eintrag dazu: Link

Veraltet:

Du hast nun drei Möglichkeiten:
1.: Lade das Image für den Raspberry Pi herunter und kopiere dieses via dd auf eine SD-Karte >=4GB.
