Flash corruption of this kind is unlikely but can happen if there is a serious firmware bug or physical damage. Following other reset types, the bootloader will still validate the app image. This increases the chances that flash corruption resulting in a crash can be detected following soft reset, and the bootloader will fall back to a valid app image. To increase the chances of successfully recovering from a flash corruption event, keep the option BOOTLOADER_WDT_ENABLE enabled and consider also enabling BOOTLOADER_WDT_DISABLE_IN_USER_CODE - then manually disable the RTC Watchdog once the app is running.

If this option is enabled make sure that even the bootloader is signed using the correct secure boot key, otherwise the bootloader signature verification would fail, as hash of the public key which is present in the bootloader signature would not match with the digest stored into the efuses and thus the device will not be able to boot up. choice SECURE_BOOTLOADER_KEY_ENCODING bool "Hardware Key Encoding" depends on SECURE_BOOTLOADER_REFLASHABLE default SECURE_BOOTLOADER_KEY_ENCODING_256BIT help In reflashable secure bootloader mode, a hardware key is derived from the signing key (with SHA-256) and can be written to eFuse with espefuse.py. Normally this is a 256-bit key, but if 3/4 Coding Scheme is used on the device then the eFuse key is truncated to 192 bits. This configuration item doesn't change any firmware code, it only changes the size of key binary which is generated at build time. config SECURE_BOOTLOADER_KEY_ENCODING_256BIT bool "No encoding (256 bit key)" config SECURE_BOOTLOADER_KEY_ENCODING_192BIT bool "3/4 encoding (192 bit key)" endchoice config SECURE_BOOT_INSECURE bool "Allow potentially insecure options" depends on SECURE_BOOT default N help You can disable some of the default protections offered by secure boot, in order to enable testing or a custom combination of security features. Only enable these options if you are very sure. Refer to the Secure Boot section of the ESP-IDF Programmer's Guide for this version before enabling. config SECURE_FLASH_ENC_ENABLED bool "Enable flash encryption on boot (READ DOCS FIRST)" default N select SPI_FLASH_ENABLE_ENCRYPTED_READ_WRITE help If this option is set, flash contents will be encrypted by the bootloader on first boot. Note: After first boot, the system will be permanently encrypted. Re-flashing an encrypted system is complicated and not always possible.

Internally, it calculates SHA256(128 bits) - AES-128 uses a 256-bit key (32 bytes) which occupies one Efuse key block. - AES-256 uses a 512-bit key (64 bytes) which occupies two Efuse key blocks. This setting is ignored if either type of key is already burned to Efuse before the first boot. In this case, the pre-burned key is used and no new key is generated. config SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_AES128_DERIVED bool "AES-128 key derived from 128 bits (SHA256(128 bits))" depends on SOC_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_XTS_AES_128_DERIVED config SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_AES128 bool "AES-128 (256-bit key)" depends on SOC_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_XTS_AES_128 && !(IDF_TARGET_ESP32C2 && SECURE_BOOT) config SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_AES256 bool "AES-256 (512-bit key)" depends on SOC_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_XTS_AES_256 endchoice choice SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE bool "Enable usage mode" depends on SECURE_FLASH_ENC_ENABLED default SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE_DEVELOPMENT help By default Development mode is enabled which allows ROM download mode to perform flash encryption operations (plaintext is sent to the device, and it encrypts it internally and writes ciphertext to flash.) This mode is not secure, it's possible for an attacker to write their own chosen plaintext to flash. Release mode should always be selected for production or manufacturing. Once enabled it's no longer possible for the device in ROM Download Mode to use the flash encryption hardware. When EFUSE_VIRTUAL is enabled, SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE_RELEASE is not available. For CI tests we use IDF_CI_BUILD to bypass it ("export IDF_CI_BUILD=1"). We do not recommend bypassing it for other purposes.

When either flash encryption or secure boot are enabled, the default is to disable this BASIC fallback mode permanently via eFuse. If this option is set, this eFuse is not burned and the BASIC ROM Console may remain accessible.

Setting this option leaves JTAG on for debugging, which negates all protections of flash encryption and some of the protections of secure boot. Only set this option in testing environments. config SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_SHORT_APP_PARTITION bool "Allow app partition length not 64KB aligned" depends on SECURE_BOOT_INSECURE || SECURE_SIGNED_ON_UPDATE_NO_SECURE_BOOT help If not set (default), app partition size must be a multiple of 64KB. App images are padded to 64KB length, and the bootloader checks any trailing bytes after the signature (before the next 64KB boundary) have not been written. This is because flash cache maps entire 64KB pages into the address space. This prevents an attacker from appending unverified data after the app image in the flash, causing it to be mapped into the address space. Setting this option allows the app partition length to be unaligned, and disables padding of the app image to this length. It is generally not recommended to set this option, unless you have a legacy partitioning scheme which doesn't support 64KB aligned partition lengths. config SECURE_BOOT_V2_ALLOW_EFUSE_RD_DIS bool "Allow additional read protecting of efuses" depends on SECURE_BOOT_INSECURE && SECURE_BOOT_V2_ENABLED help If not set (default, recommended), on first boot the bootloader will burn the WR_DIS_RD_DIS efuse when Secure Boot is enabled. This prevents any more efuses from being read protected. If this option is set, it will remain possible to write the EFUSE_RD_DIS efuse field after Secure Boot is enabled. This may allow an attacker to read-protect the BLK2 efuse (for ESP32) and BLOCK4-BLOCK10 (i.e. BLOCK_KEY0-BLOCK_KEY5)(for other chips) holding the public key digest, causing an immediate denial of service and possibly allowing an additional fault injection attack to bypass the signature protection. NOTE: Once a BLOCK is read-protected, the application will read all zeros from that block NOTE: If "UART ROM download mode (Permanently disabled (recommended))" or "UART ROM download mode (Permanently switch to Secure mode (recommended))" is set, then it is __NOT__ possible to read/write efuses using espefuse.py utility. However, efuse can be read/written from the application config SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_UNUSED_DIGEST_SLOTS bool "Leave unused digest slots available (not revoke)" depends on SECURE_BOOT_INSECURE && SOC_EFUSE_REVOKE_BOOT_KEY_DIGESTS default N help If not set (default), during startup in the app all unused digest slots will be revoked. To revoke unused slot will be called esp_efuse_set_digest_revoke(num_digest) for each digest. Revoking unused digest slots makes ensures that no trusted keys can be added later by an attacker. If set, it means that you have a plan to use unused digests slots later. config SECURE_FLASH_UART_BOOTLOADER_ALLOW_ENC bool "Leave UART bootloader encryption enabled" depends on SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE_DEVELOPMENT select SECURE_FLASH_SKIP_WRITE_PROTECTION_CACHE if SECURE_FLASH_HAS_WRITE_PROTECTION_CACHE default N help If not set (default), the bootloader will permanently disable UART bootloader encryption access on first boot.

Only set this option in testing environments. config SECURE_FLASH_REQUIRE_ALREADY_ENABLED bool "Require flash encryption to be already enabled" depends on SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE_DEVELOPMENT default N help If not set (default), and flash encryption is not yet enabled in eFuses, the 2nd stage bootloader will enable flash encryption: generate the flash encryption key and program eFuses. If this option is set, and flash encryption is not yet enabled, the bootloader will error out and reboot. If flash encryption is enabled in eFuses, this option does not change the bootloader behavior. Only use this option in testing environments, to avoid accidentally enabling flash encryption on the wrong device. The device needs to have flash encryption already enabled using espefuse.py. config SECURE_FLASH_SKIP_WRITE_PROTECTION_CACHE bool "Skip write-protection of DIS_CACHE (DIS_ICACHE, DIS_DCACHE)" default n depends on SECURE_FLASH_HAS_WRITE_PROTECTION_CACHE help If not set (default, recommended), on the first boot the bootloader will burn the write-protection of DIS_CACHE(for ESP32) or DIS_ICACHE/DIS_DCACHE(for other chips) eFuse when Flash Encryption is enabled. Write protection for cache disable efuse prevents the chip from being blocked if it is set by accident. App and bootloader use cache so disabling it makes the chip useless for IDF.

This option can only work if Download Mode is not already disabled by eFuse. Secure Download mode limits the use of Download Mode functions to update SPI config, changing baud rate, basic flash write and a command to return a summary of currently enabled security features (`get_security_info`). Secure Download mode is not compatible with the esptool.py flasher stub feature, espefuse.py, read/writing memory or registers, encrypted download, or any other features that interact with unsupported Download Mode commands. Secure Download mode should be enabled in any application where Flash Encryption and/or Secure Boot is enabled. Disabling this option does not immediately cancel the benefits of the security features, but it increases the potential "attack surface" for an attacker to try and bypass them with a successful physical attack.
