Assuming that the eFuse values are in their default states and the firmware bootloader is compiled to support flash encryption, the flash encryption process executes as shown below:

|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. On the first power-on reset, all data in flash is un-encrypted (plaintext). The ROM bootloader loads the firmware bootloader.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Firmware bootloader reads the ``FLASH_CRYPT_CNT`` eFuse value (``0b00000000``). Since the value is ``0`` (even number of bits set), it configures and enables the flash encryption block. It also sets the ``FLASH_CRYPT_CONFIG`` eFuse to 0xF. For more information on the flash encryption block, see *{IDF_TARGET_NAME} Technical Reference Manual* > *eFuse Controller (eFuse)* > *Flash Encryption Block* [`PDF <{IDF_TARGET_TRM_EN_URL}#efuse>`__].

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

3. Flash encryption block generates an AES-256 bit key and writes it into the BLOCK1 eFuse. This operation is done entirely by hardware, and the key cannot be accessed via software.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Firmware bootloader uses RNG (random) module to generate an AES-256 bit key and then writes it into the ``flash_encryption`` eFuse. The key cannot be accessed via software as the write and read protection bits for the ``flash_encryption`` eFuse are set. The flash encryption operations happen entirely by hardware, and the key cannot be accessed via software.

6. For :ref:`flash-enc-development-mode`, the firmware bootloader sets only the eFuse bits ``download_dis_decrypt`` and ``download_dis_cache`` to allow the UART bootloader to re-flash encrypted binaries. Also, the ``FLASH_CRYPT_CNT`` eFuse bits are NOT write-protected.

|
|

|

7. For :ref:`flash-enc-release-mode`, the firmware bootloader sets the eFuse bits ``download_dis_encrypt``, ``download_dis_decrypt``, and ``download_dis_cache`` to 1 to prevent the UART bootloader from decrypting the flash contents. It also write-protects the ``FLASH_CRYPT_CNT`` eFuse bits. To modify this behavior, see :ref:`uart-bootloader-encryption`.

- Not all data is stored encrypted. If storing data on flash, check if the method you are using (library, API, etc.) supports flash encryption.
|
|
|
|
|
- Flash encryption does not prevent an attacker from understanding the high-level layout of the flash. This is because the same AES key is used for every pair of adjacent 16 byte AES blocks. When these adjacent 16 byte blocks contain identical content (such as empty or padding areas), these blocks will encrypt to produce matching pairs of encrypted blocks. This may allow an attacker to make high-level comparisons between encrypted devices (i.e. to tell if two devices are probably running the same firmware version).
|
|
|
|
|
:esp32: - For the same reason, an attacker can always tell when a pair of adjacent 16 byte blocks (32 byte aligned) contain two identical 16 byte sequences. Keep this in mind if storing sensitive data on the flash, design your flash storage so this doesn't happen (using a counter byte or some other non-identical value every 16 bytes is sufficient). :ref:`NVS Encryption <nvs_encryption>` deals with this and is suitable for many uses.

- AES-256 key size is 256 bits (32 bytes) read from the ``BLOCK1`` eFuse. The hardware AES engine uses the key in reversed byte order as compared to the storage order in ``BLOCK1``.

- AES-256 key size is 256 bits (32 bytes) read from the ``flash_encryption`` eFuse. The hardware AES engine uses the key in reversed byte order as compared to the storage order in ``flash_encryption``.

- If the ``CODING_SCHEME`` eFuse is set to ``0`` (default, "None" Coding Scheme) then the eFuse key block is 256 bits and the key is stored as-is (in reversed byte order).
|
|
|
|
|
- If the ``CODING_SCHEME`` eFuse is set to ``1`` (3/4 Encoding) then the eFuse key block is 192 bits (in reversed byte order), so overall entropy is reduced. The hardware flash encryption still operates on a 256-bit key, after being read (and un-reversed), the key is extended as ``key = key[0:255] + key[64:127]``.

- AES algorithm is used inverted in flash encryption, so the flash encryption "encrypt" operation is AES decrypt and the "decrypt" operation is AES encrypt. This is for performance reasons and does not alter the effeciency of the algorithm.

- Each 32-byte block (two adjacent 16-byte AES blocks) is encrypted with a unique key. The key is derived from the main flash encryption key in ``BLOCK1``, XORed with the offset of this block in the flash (a "key tweak").

- The specific tweak depends on the ``FLASH_CRYPT_CONFIG`` eFuse setting. This is a 4-bit eFuse where each bit enables XORing of a particular range of the key bits:
