It is recommended to enable both Flash Encryption and Secure Boot V2 for a production use case.
When enabling the Flash Encryption and Secure Boot V2 externally we need to enable them in the following order:
When enabling the Flash Encryption and Secure Boot V2 together we need to enable them in the following order:
#. Enable the Flash Encryption feature by following the steps listed in :ref:`enable-flash-encryption-externally`.
#. Enable the Secure Boot V2 feature by following the steps listed in :ref:`enable-secure-boot-v2-externally`.
The reason for this order is as follows:
To enable the Secure Boot (SB) V2, it is necessary to keep the SB V2 key readable. To protect the key's readability, the write protection for ``RD_DIS`` (``ESP_EFUSE_WR_DIS_RD_DIS``) is applied. However, this action poses a challenge when attempting to enable Flash Encryption, as the Flash Encryption (FE) key needs to remain unreadable. This conflict arises because the ``RD_DIS`` is already write-protected, making it impossible to read protect the FE key.

Please note that the security-related eFuses have not been burned at this point. It is recommended that they should be burned in production use cases as explained in step 6.
5. Encrypt and flash the binaries.
The bootloader and the application binaries for the project must be built with Flash Encryption Release mode with default configurations.
Flash encryption Release mode can be set in the menuconfig as follows:
.. list::
- :ref:`Enable flash encryption on boot <CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENC_ENABLED>`
:esp32: - :ref:`Select Release mode <CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE>` (Note that once Release mode is selected, the ``DISABLE_DL_ENCRYPT`` and ``DISABLE_DL_DECRYPT`` eFuse bits will be burned to disable flash encryption hardware in ROM Download Mode.)

The default choice is to keep UART ROM download mode enabled, however it is recommended to permanently disable this mode to reduce the options available to an attacker.
:not esp32: - :ref:`Select Release mode <CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE>` (Note that once Release mode is selected, the ``EFUSE_DIS_DOWNLOAD_MANUAL_ENCRYPT`` eFuse bit will be burned to disable flash encryption hardware in ROM Download Mode.)
:not esp32: - :ref:`Select UART ROM download mode (Permanently switch to Secure mode (recommended)) <CONFIG_SECURE_UART_ROM_DL_MODE>`. This is the default option and is recommended. It is also possible to change this configuration setting to permanently disable UART ROM download mode, if this mode is not needed.
- :ref:`Select the appropriate bootloader log verbosity <CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_LOG_LEVEL>`
- Save the configuration and exit.
The binaries can be encrypted on the host machine by running:
.. only:: esp32
.. code-block:: bash
espsecure.py encrypt_flash_data --keyfile my_flash_encryption_key.bin --address 0x1000 --output bootloader-enc.bin build/bootloader/bootloader.bin

espsecure.py encrypt_flash_data --aes_xts --keyfile my_flash_encryption_key.bin --address 0x10000 --output my-app-enc.bin build/my-app.bin
The above files can then be flashed to their respective offset using ``esptool.py``. To see all of the command line options recommended for ``esptool.py``, see the output printed when ``idf.py build`` succeeds. In the above command the offsets are used for a sample firmware, the actual offset for your firmware can be obtained by checking the partition table entry or by running `idf.py partition-table`. When the application contains the following partition: ``otadata``, ``nvs_encryption_keys`` they need to be encrypted as well. Please refer to :ref:`encrypted-partitions` for more details about encrypted partitions.
.. note::
If the flashed ciphertext file is not recognized by the {IDF_TARGET_NAME} when it boots, check that the keys match and that the command line arguments match exactly, including the correct offset. It is important to provide the correct offset as the ciphertext changes when the offset changes.
.. only:: esp32
If your ESP32 uses non-default :ref:`FLASH_CRYPT_CONFIG value in eFuse <setting-flash-crypt-config>` then you will need to pass the ``--flash_crypt_conf`` argument to ``espsecure.py`` to set the matching value. This will not happen if the device configured flash encryption by itself but may happen when burning eFuses manually to enable flash encryption.
The command ``espsecure.py decrypt_flash_data`` can be used with the same options (and different input/output files), to decrypt ciphertext flash contents or a previously encrypted file.

5. Burn relevant eFuses
.. note::
At this stage the secure boot V2 has been enabled for the {IDF_TARGET_NAME}. The ROM bootloader shall now verify the authenticity of the :ref:`second-stage-bootloader` on every bootup. You may test the secure boot process by executing Steps 5 & 6. Please note that security-related eFuses have not been burned at this point. For production use cases, all security-related eFuses must be burned as given in step 7.
5. Build the binaries.
By default, the ROM bootloader would only verify the :ref:`second-stage-bootloader` (firmware bootloader). The firmware bootloader would verify the app partition only when the :ref:`CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT` option is enabled (and :ref:`CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_VERSION` is set to ``SECURE_BOOT_V2_ENABLED``) while building the bootloader.
a) Open the :ref:`project-configuration-menu`, in "Security features" set "Enable hardware Secure Boot in bootloader" to enable Secure Boot.
.. only:: esp32
For ESP32, Secure Boot V2 is available only for ESP32 ECO3 onwards. To view the "Secure Boot V2" option the chip revision should be changed to revision v3.0 (ECO3). To change the chip revision, set "Minimum Supported ESP32 Revision" to "Rev 3.0 (ECO3)" in "Component Config" -> "Hardware Settings" -> "Chip Revision".
.. only:: SOC_SECURE_BOOT_V2_RSA or SOC_SECURE_BOOT_V2_ECC
The "Secure Boot V2" option will be selected and the "App Signing Scheme" will be set to {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_DEFAULT_SCHEME} by default.
b) Disable the option :ref:`CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES` for the project in the :ref:`project-configuration-menu`. This shall make sure that all the generated binaries are secure padded and unsigned. This step is done to avoid generating signed binaries as we are going to manually sign the binaries using ``espsecure`` tool.
After the above configurations, the bootloader and application binaries can be built with ``idf.py build`` command.
6. Sign and Flash the binaries.
The Secure Boot V2 workflow only verifies the ``bootloader`` and ``application`` binaries, hence only those binaries need to be signed. The other binaries (e.g., ``partition-table.bin``) can be flashed as they are generated in the build stage.
The ``bootloader.bin`` and ``app.bin`` binaries can be signed by running:
.. code:: bash
espsecure.py sign_data --version 2 --keyfile secure_boot_signing_key.pem --output bootloader-signed.bin build/bootloader/bootloader.bin
espsecure.py sign_data --version 2 --keyfile secure_boot_signing_key.pem --output my-app-signed.bin build/my-app.bin
.. only:: SOC_EFUSE_REVOKE_BOOT_KEY_DIGESTS
If multiple keys secure boot keys are to be used then the same signed binary can be appended with a signature block signed with the new key as follows:
.. code:: bash
espsecure.py sign_data --keyfile secure_boot_signing_key2.pem --version 2 --append_signatures -o bootloader-signed2.bin bootloader-signed.bin
espsecure.py sign_data --keyfile secure_boot_signing_key2.pem --version 2 --append_signatures -o my-app-signed2.bin my-app-signed.bin
The same process can be repeated for the third key. Note that the names of the input and output files must not be the same.
The signatures attached to a binary can be checked by running:
.. code:: bash
espsecure.py signature_info_v2 bootloader-signed.bin
The above files along with other binaries (e.g., partition table) can then be flashed to their respective offset using ``esptool.py``. To see all of the command line options recommended for ``esptool.py``, see the output printed when ``idf.py build`` succeeds. The flash offset for your firmware can be obtained by checking the partition table entry or by running ``idf.py partition-table``.

6. Configure the project
By default, the ROM bootloader would only verify the :ref:`second-stage-bootloader` (firmware bootloader). The firmware bootloader would verify the app partition only when the :ref:`CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT` option is enabled (and :ref:`CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_VERSION` is set to ``SECURE_BOOT_V2_ENABLED``) while building the bootloader.
a) Open the :ref:`project-configuration-menu`, in "Security features" set "Enable hardware Secure Boot in bootloader" to enable Secure Boot.

C) Disable UART ROM DL mode:
For ESP32, Secure Boot V2 is available only for ESP32 ECO3 onwards. To view the "Secure Boot V2" option the chip revision should be changed to revision v3.0 (ECO3). To change the chip revision, set "Minimum Supported ESP32 Revision" to "Rev 3.0 (ECO3)" in "Component Config" -> "Hardware Settings" -> "Chip Revision".

b) Disable the option :ref:`CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES` for the project in the :ref:`project-configuration-menu`. This shall make sure that all the generated binaries are secure padded and unsigned. This step is done to avoid generating signed binaries as we are going to manually sign the binaries using ``espsecure`` tool.
- ``UART_DOWNLOAD_DIS`` : Disable the UART ROM Download mode.
7. Build, Sign and Flash the binaries
The eFuse can be burned by running:
After the above configurations, the bootloader and application binaries can be built with ``idf.py build`` command.
.. code:: bash
The Secure Boot V2 workflow only verifies the ``bootloader`` and ``application`` binaries, hence only those binaries need to be signed. The other binaries (e.g., ``partition-table.bin``) can be flashed as they are generated in the build stage.
The ``bootloader.bin`` and ``app.bin`` binaries can be signed by running:
.. code:: bash
espsecure.py sign_data --version 2 --keyfile secure_boot_signing_key.pem --output bootloader-signed.bin build/bootloader/bootloader.bin
espsecure.py sign_data --version 2 --keyfile secure_boot_signing_key.pem --output my-app-signed.bin build/my-app.bin
.. only:: SOC_EFUSE_REVOKE_BOOT_KEY_DIGESTS
If multiple keys Secure Boot keys are to be used then the same signed binary can be appended with a signature block signed with the new key as follows:
.. code:: bash
espsecure.py sign_data --keyfile secure_boot_signing_key2.pem --version 2 --append_signatures -o bootloader-signed2.bin bootloader-signed.bin
espsecure.py sign_data --keyfile secure_boot_signing_key2.pem --version 2 --append_signatures -o my-app-signed2.bin my-app-signed.bin
The same process can be repeated for the third key. Note that the names of the input and output files must not be the same.
The signatures attached to a binary can be checked by running:
.. code:: bash
espsecure.py signature_info_v2 bootloader-signed.bin
The above files along with other binaries (e.g., partition table) can then be flashed to their respective offset using ``esptool.py``. To see all of the command line options recommended for ``esptool.py``, see the output printed when ``idf.py build`` succeeds. The flash offset for your firmware can be obtained by checking the partition table entry or by running ``idf.py partition-table``.

Secure Boot V2 Guidelines
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* It is recommended to store the secure boot key in a highly secure place. A physical or a cloud HSM may be used for secure storage of the secure boot private key. Please take a look at :ref:`remote-sign-v2-image` for more details.

.. _enable-nvs-encryption-externally:
Enable NVS Encryption Externally
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The details about NVS Encryption and related schemes can be found at :doc:`NVS Encryption </api-reference/storage/nvs_encryption>`.
.. only:: SOC_HMAC_SUPPORTED
.. _enable-nvs-encryption-based-on-hmac:
Enable NVS Encryption based on HMAC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Generate the HMAC key and NVS Encryption key
In the HMAC based NVS scheme, there are two keys:
* HMAC key - this is a 256 bit HMAC key that shall be stored in the eFuse
* NVS Encryption key - This is the NVS Encryption key that is used to encrypt the NVS partition. This key is derived at run-time using the HMAC key.
The above keys can be generated with the :component_file:`nvs_flash/nvs_partition_generator/nvs_partition_gen.py` script with help of the following command:
.. code:: bash
python3 nvs_partition_gen.py generate-key --key_protect_hmac --kp_hmac_keygen --kp_hmac_keyfile hmac_key.bin --keyfile nvs_encr_key.bin
This shall generate the respective keys in the ``keys`` folder.
2. Burn the HMAC key in the eFuse
The NVS key can be burned in the eFuse of {IDF_TARGET_NAME} with help of following command:
.. code:: bash
espefuse.py --port PORT burn_key BLOCK hmac_key.bin HMAC_UP
where ``BLOCK`` is a free keyblock between ``BLOCK_KEY0`` and ``BLOCK_KEY5``.
3. Generate the encrypted NVS partition
We shall generate the actual encrypted NVS partition on host. More details about generating the encryption NVS partition can be found at :ref:`generate-encrypted-nvs-partition`.
For this purpose, the contents of the NVS file shall be available in a CSV file. Please check out :ref:`nvs-csv-file-format` for more details.
The encrypted NVS partition can be generated with following command:
.. code:: bash
python3 nvs_partition_gen.py encrypt sample_singlepage_blob.csv nvs_encr_partition.bin 0x3000 --inputkey keys/nvs_encr_key.bin
Some command arguments are explained below:
* CSV file name - In this case `sample_singlepage_blob.csv` is the CSV file which contains the NVS data, Replace this with the file you wish to choose.
* NVS partition offset - This is the offset at which that NVS partition shall be stored in the flash of {IDF_TARGET_NAME}. The offset of your nvs-partition can be found be executing `idf.py partition-table` in the projtect directory. Please update the sample value of `0x3000` in the above-provided command to the correct offset.
4. Configure the project
* Enable `NVS Encryption` by enabling :ref:`CONFIG_NVS_ENCRYPTION`.
* Enable the HMAC based NVS Encryption by setting :ref:`CONFIG_NVS_SEC_KEY_PROTECTION_SCHEME` to ``CONFIG_NVS_SEC_KEY_PROTECT_USING_HMAC``
* Set the HMAC efuse key id at :ref:`CONFIG_NVS_SEC_HMAC_EFUSE_KEY_ID` to the one in which the eFuse key was burned in Step 2.
5. Flash NVS partition
The NVS partition (``nvs_encr_partition.bin``) generated in Step 3 can then be flashed to its respective offset using ``esptool.py``. To see all of the command line options recommended for ``esptool.py``, check the output printed when ``idf.py build`` succeeds.
If Flash encryption is enabled for the chip then please encrypt the partition first before flashing. You may refer the flashing related steps of `Flash Encryption workflow <enable-flash-encryption-externally_>`_.
.. _enable-flash-enc-based-nvs-encryption:
Enable NVS Encryption based on Flash Encryption
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this case we generate NVS Encryption keys on a host. This key is then flashed on the chip and protected with help of the :doc:`Flash Encryption </security/flash-encryption>` feature.
1. Generate the NVS Encryption key
For generation of respective keys, we shall use :doc:`NVS partition generator utility </api-reference/storage/nvs_partition_gen>`. We shall generate the encryption key on host and this key key shall be stored on the flash of {IDF_TARGET_NAME} in encrypted state.
The key can be generated with the :component_file:`nvs_flash/nvs_partition_generator/nvs_partition_gen.py` script with help of the following command:
.. code:: bash
python3 nvs_partition_gen.py generate-key --keyfile nvs_encr_key.bin
This shall generate the respective key in the ``keys`` folder.
2. Generate the encrypted NVS partition
We shall generate the actual encrypted NVS partition on host. More details about generating the encryption NVS partition can be found at :ref:`generate-encrypted-nvs-partition`.
For this, the contents of the NVS file shall be available in a CSV file. Please refer :ref:`nvs-csv-file-format` for more details.
The encrypted NVS partition can be generated with following command:
.. code:: bash
python3 nvs_partition_gen.py encrypt sample_singlepage_blob.csv nvs_encr_partition.bin 0x3000 --inputkey keys/nvs_encr_key.bin
Some command arguments are explained below:
* CSV file name - In this case `sample_singlepage_blob.csv` is the CSV file which contains the NVS data, Replace this with the file you wish to choose.
* NVS partition offset - This is the offset at which that NVS partition shall be stored in the flash of {IDF_TARGET_NAME}. The offset of your nvs-partition can be found be executing `idf.py partition-table` in the projtect directory. Please update the sample value of `0x3000` in the above-provided command to the correct offset.
3. Configure the project
* Enable `NVS Encryption` by enabling :ref:`CONFIG_NVS_ENCRYPTION`.
* Set NVS to use Flash Encryption based scheme by setting :ref:`CONFIG_NVS_SEC_KEY_PROTECTION_SCHEME` to ``CONFIG_NVS_SEC_KEY_PROTECT_USING_FLASH_ENC``.
4. Flash NVS partition and NVS Encryption keys
The NVS partition (``nvs_encr_partition.bin``) and NVS Encryption key (``nvs_encr_key.bin``) can then be flashed to their respective offset using ``esptool.py``. To see all of the command line options recommended for ``esptool.py``, check the output printed when ``idf.py build`` succeeds.
If Flash encryption is enabled for the chip then please encrypt the partition first before flashing. You may refer the flashing related steps of `Flash Encryption workflow <enable-flash-encryption-externally_>`_.
