Secure Boot V2
==============
{IDF_TARGET_SBV2_SCHEME:default="RSA-PSS", esp32c2="ECDSA"}
{IDF_TARGET_SBV2_KEY:default="RSA-3072", esp32c2="ECDSA-256 or ECDSA-192"}
.. important::
This document is about Secure Boot V2, supported on the following chips: ESP32 (ECO3 onwards), ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3, ESP32-C3 (ECO3 onwards), and ESP32-C2. Except for ESP32, it is the only supported Secure Boot scheme.
.. only:: esp32
For ESP32 before ECO3, refer to :doc:`Secure Boot <secure-boot-v1>`. It is recommended that users use Secure Boot V2 if they have a chip version that supports it. Secure Boot V2 is safer and more flexible than Secure Boot V1.
Secure Boot V2 uses {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_SCHEME} based app and bootloader verification. This document can also be used as a reference for signing apps using the {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_SCHEME} scheme without signing the bootloader.
.. only:: esp32
``Secure Boot V2`` and RSA scheme (``App Signing Scheme``) options are available for ESP32 from ECO3 onwards. To use these options in menuconfig, set :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32_REV_MIN` greater than or equal to `Rev 3`.
.. only:: esp32c3
``Secure Boot V2`` is available for ESP32-C3 from ECO3 onwards. To use these options in menuconfig, set :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32C3_REV_MIN` greater than or equal to `Rev 3`.
Background
----------
Secure Boot protects a device from running any unauthorized (i.e., unsigned) code by checking that each piece of software that is being booted is signed. On an {IDF_TARGET_NAME}, these pieces of software include the second stage bootloader and each application binary. Note that the first stage bootloader does not require signing as it is ROM code thus cannot be changed.
.. only:: SOC_SECURE_BOOT_V2_RSA
A new RSA based Secure Boot verification scheme (Secure Boot V2) has been introduced on the ESP32 (ECO3 onwards), ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3 and ESP32-C3 (ECO3 onwards).
.. only:: SOC_SECURE_BOOT_V2_ECC
A new ECC based Secure Boot verification scheme (Secure Boot V2) has been introduced on the ESP32-C2.
The Secure Boot process on the {IDF_TARGET_NAME} involves the following steps:
1. When the first stage bootloader loads the second stage bootloader, the second stage bootloader's {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_SCHEME} signature is verified. If the verification is successful, the second stage bootloader is executed.
2. When the second stage bootloader loads a particular application image, the application's {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_SCHEME} signature is verified. If the verification is successful, the application image is executed.
Advantages
----------
- The {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_SCHEME} public key is stored on the device. The corresponding {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_SCHEME} private key is kept at a secret place and is never accessed by the device.
.. only:: esp32 or esp32c2
- Only one public key can be generated and stored in the chip during manufacturing.
.. only:: esp32s2 or esp32c3 or esp32s3
- Up to three public keys can be generated and stored in the chip during manufacturing.
- {IDF_TARGET_NAME} provides the facility to permanently revoke individual public keys. This can be configured conservatively or aggressively.
- Conservatively - The old key is revoked after the bootloader and application have successfully migrated to a new key. Aggressively - The key is revoked as soon as verification with this key fails.
- Same image format and signature verification method is applied for applications and software bootloader.
- No secrets are stored on the device. Therefore, it is immune to passive side-channel attacks (timing or power analysis, etc.)
Secure Boot V2 Process
----------------------
This is an overview of the Secure Boot V2 Process. Instructions how to enable Secure Boot are supplied in section :ref:`secure-boot-v2-howto`.
Secure Boot V2 verifies the bootloader image and application binary images using a dedicated *signature block*. Each image has a separately generated signature block which is appended to the end of the image.
.. only:: esp32
Only one signature block can be appended to the bootloader or application image in ESP32 ECO3.
.. only:: esp32c2
Only one signature block can be appended to the bootloader or application image in {IDF_TARGET_NAME}
.. only:: esp32s2 or esp32c3 or esp32s3
Up to 3 signature blocks can be appended to the bootloader or application image in {IDF_TARGET_NAME}.
Each signature block contains a signature of the preceding image as well as the corresponding {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_KEY} public key. For more details about the format, refer to :ref:`signature-block-format`. A digest of the {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_KEY} public key is stored in the eFuse.
The application image is not only verified on every boot but also on each over the air (OTA) update. If the currently selected OTA app image cannot be verified, the bootloader will fall back and look for another correctly signed application image.
The Secure Boot V2 process follows these steps:
1. On startup, the ROM code checks the Secure Boot V2 bit in the eFuse. If Secure Boot is disabled, a normal boot will be executed. If Secure Boot is enabled, the boot will proceed according to the following steps.
2. The ROM code verifies the bootloader's signature block (:ref:`verify_signature-block`). If this fails, the boot process will be aborted.
3. The ROM code verifies the bootloader image using the raw image data, its corresponding signature block(s), and the eFuse (:ref:`verify_image`). If this fails, the boot process will be aborted.
4. The ROM code executes the bootloader.
5. The bootloader verifies the application image's signature block (:ref:`verify_signature-block`). If this fails, the boot process will be aborted.
6. The bootloader verifies the application image using the raw image data, its corresponding signature blocks and the eFuse (:ref:`verify_image`). If this fails, the boot process will be aborted. If the verification fails but another application image is found, the bootloader will then try to verify that other image using steps 5 to 7. This repeats until a valid image is found or no other images are found.
7. The bootloader executes the verified application image.
.. _signature-block-format:
Signature Block Format
----------------------
The bootloader and application images are padded to the next 4096 byte boundary, thus the signature has a flash sector of its own. The signature is calculated over all bytes in the image including the padding bytes.
The content of each signature block is shown in the following table:

.. _verify_signature-block:
Verifying a Signature Block
-----------------------------
A signature block is “valid” if the first byte is 0xe7 and a valid CRC32 is stored at offset 1196. Otherwise it's invalid.
.. _verify_image:
Verifying an Image
-----------------------------
An image is “verified” if the public key stored in any signature block is valid for this device, and if the stored signature is valid for the image data read from flash.
1. Compare the SHA-256 hash digest of the public key embedded in the bootloader's signature block with the digest(s) saved in the eFuses. If public key's hash doesn't match any of the hashes from the eFuses, the verification fails.
2. Generate the application image digest and match it with the image digest in the signature block. If the digests don't match, the verification fails.
.. only:: not esp32c2
3. Use the public key to verify the signature of the bootloader image, using RSA-PSS (section 8.1.2 of RFC8017) with the image digest calculated in step (2) for comparison.
.. only:: esp32c2
3. Use the public key to verify the signature of the bootloader image, using ECDSA signature verification (section 5.3.3 of RFC6090) with the image digest calculated in step (2) for comparison.
Bootloader Size
---------------
Enabling Secure boot and/or flash encryption will increase the size of bootloader, which might require updating partition table offset. See :ref:`bootloader-size`.
.. _efuse-usage:
eFuse usage
-----------
.. only:: esp32
ESP32-ECO3:
- ABS_DONE_1 - Enables Secure Boot protection on boot.
- BLK2 - Stores the SHA-256 digest of the public key. SHA-256 hash of public key modulus, exponent, pre-calculated R & M values (represented as 776 bytes offsets 36 to 812 - as per the :ref:`signature-block-format`) is written to an eFuse key block. The write-protection bit must be set, but the read-protection bit must not.
.. only:: esp32s2 or esp32c3 or esp32s3
- SECURE_BOOT_EN - Enables Secure Boot protection on boot.
- KEY_PURPOSE_X - Set the purpose of the key block on {IDF_TARGET_NAME} by programming SECURE_BOOT_DIGESTX (X = 0, 1, 2) into KEY_PURPOSE_X (X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Example: If KEY_PURPOSE_2 is set to SECURE_BOOT_DIGEST1, then BLOCK_KEY2 will have the Secure Boot V2 public key digest. The write-protection bit must be set (this field does not have a read-protection bit).
- BLOCK_KEYX - The block contains the data corresponding to its purpose programmed in KEY_PURPOSE_X. Stores the SHA-256 digest of the public key. SHA-256 hash of public key modulus, exponent, pre-calculated R & M values (represented as 776 bytes offsets 36 to 812 - as per the :ref:`signature-block-format`) is written to an eFuse key block. The write-protection bit must be set, but the read-protection bit must not.
- KEY_REVOKEX - The revocation bits corresponding to each of the 3 key block. Ex. Setting KEY_REVOKE2 revokes the key block whose key purpose is SECURE_BOOT_DIGEST2.
- SECURE_BOOT_AGGRESSIVE_REVOKE - Enables aggressive revocation of keys. The key is revoked as soon as verification with this key fails.
To ensure no trusted keys can be added later by an attacker, each unused key digest slot should be revoked (KEY_REVOKEX). It will be checked during app startup in :cpp:func:`esp_secure_boot_init_checks` and fixed unless :ref:`CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_UNUSED_DIGEST_SLOTS` is enabled.
The key(s) must be readable in order to give software access to it. If the key(s) is read-protected then the software reads the key(s) as all zeros and the signature verification process will fail, and the boot process will be aborted.
.. _secure-boot-v2-howto:
How To Enable Secure Boot V2
----------------------------
1. Open the :ref:`project-configuration-menu`, in "Security features" set "Enable hardware Secure Boot in bootloader" to enable Secure Boot.
.. only:: esp32
2. For ESP32, Secure Boot V2 is available only ESP32 ECO3 onwards. To view the "Secure Boot V2" option the chip revision should be changed to revision 3 (ESP32- ECO3). To change the chip revision, set "Minimum Supported ESP32 Revision" to Rev 3 in "Component Config" -> "ESP32- Specific".
3. Specify the path to Secure Boot signing key, relative to the project directory.
4. Select the desired UART ROM download mode in "UART ROM download mode". By default the UART ROM download mode has been kept enabled in order to prevent permanently disabling it in the development phase, this option is a potentially insecure option. It is recommended to disable the UART download mode for better security.
.. only:: esp32s2 or esp32c3 or esp32s3
2. The "Secure Boot V2" option will be selected and the "App Signing Scheme" would be set to RSA by default.
3. Specify the path to Secure Boot signing key, relative to the project directory.
4. Select the desired UART ROM download mode in "UART ROM download mode". By default, it is set to "Permanently switch to Secure mode" which is generally recommended. For production devices, the most secure option is to set it to "Permanently disabled".
5. Set other menuconfig options (as desired). Then exit menuconfig and save your configuration.
6. The first time you run ``idf.py build``, if the signing key is not found then an error message will be printed with a command to generate a signing key via ``espsecure.py generate_signing_key``.
.. important::
A signing key generated this way will use the best random number source available to the OS and its Python installation (`/dev/urandom` on OSX/Linux and `CryptGenRandom()` on Windows). If this random number source is weak, then the private key will be weak.
.. important::
For production environments, we recommend generating the key pair using openssl or another industry standard encryption program. See :ref:`secure-boot-v2-generate-key` for more details.
7. Run ``idf.py bootloader`` to build a Secure Boot enabled bootloader. The build output will include a prompt for a flashing command, using ``esptool.py write_flash``.
8. When you're ready to flash the bootloader, run the specified command (you have to enter it yourself, this step is not performed by the build system) and then wait for flashing to complete.
9. Run ``idf.py flash`` to build and flash the partition table and the just-built app image. The app image will be signed using the signing key you generated in step 6.
.. note:: ``idf.py flash`` doesn't flash the bootloader if Secure Boot is enabled.
10. Reset the {IDF_TARGET_NAME} and it will boot the software bootloader you flashed. The software bootloader will enable Secure Boot on the chip, and then it verifies the app image signature and boots the app. You should watch the serial console output from the {IDF_TARGET_NAME} to verify that Secure Boot is enabled and no errors have occurred due to the build configuration.
.. note:: Secure boot won't be enabled until after a valid partition table and app image have been flashed. This is to prevent accidents before the system is fully configured.
.. note:: If the {IDF_TARGET_NAME} is reset or powered down during the first boot, it will start the process again on the next boot.
11. On subsequent boots, the Secure Boot hardware will verify the software bootloader has not changed and the software bootloader will verify the signed app image (using the validated public key portion of its appended signature block).
Restrictions after Secure Boot is enabled
-----------------------------------------
- Any updated bootloader or app will need to be signed with a key matching the digest already stored in eFuse.
- After Secure Boot is enabled, no further eFuses can be read protected. (If :doc:`/security/flash-encryption` is enabled then the bootloader will ensure that any flash encryption key generated on first boot will already be read protected.) If :ref:`CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_INSECURE` is enabled then this behavior can be disabled, but this is not recommended.
.. _secure-boot-v2-generate-key:
Generating Secure Boot Signing Key
----------------------------------
The build system will prompt you with a command to generate a new signing key via ``espsecure.py generate_signing_key``.
.. only:: not esp32c2
The ``--version 2`` parameter will generate the RSA 3072 private key for Secure Boot V2.
.. only:: esp32c2
Select the ECDSA scheme by passing ``--version 2 --scheme ecdsa256`` or ``--version 2 --scheme ecdsa192`` to generate corresponding ECDSA private key
The strength of the signing key is proportional to (a) the random number source of the system, and (b) the correctness of the algorithm used. For production devices, we recommend generating signing keys from a system with a quality entropy source, and using the best available {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_SCHEME} key generation utilities.
For example, to generate a signing key using the openssl command line:
.. only:: not esp32c2
```
openssl genrsa -out my_secure_boot_signing_key.pem 3072
```
.. only:: esp32c2
For NIST192p curve
```
openssl ecparam -name prime192v1 -genkey -noout -out my_secure_boot_signing_key.pem
```
For NIST256p curve
```
openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out my_secure_boot_signing_key.pem
```
Remember that the strength of the Secure Boot system depends on keeping the signing key private.
.. _remote-sign-v2-image:
Remote Signing of Images
------------------------
For production builds, it can be good practice to use a remote signing server rather than have the signing key on the build machine (which is the default esp-idf Secure Boot configuration). The espsecure.py command line program can be used to sign app images & partition table data for Secure Boot, on a remote system.
To use remote signing, disable the option "Sign binaries during build". The private signing key does not need to be present on the build system.
After the app image and partition table are built, the build system will print signing steps using espsecure.py::
espsecure.py sign_data --version 2 --keyfile PRIVATE_SIGNING_KEY BINARY_FILE
The above command appends the image signature to the existing binary. You can use the `--output` argument to write the signed binary to a separate file::
espsecure.py sign_data --version 2 --keyfile PRIVATE_SIGNING_KEY --output SIGNED_BINARY_FILE BINARY_FILE
Secure Boot Best Practices
--------------------------
* Generate the signing key on a system with a quality source of entropy.
* Keep the signing key private at all times. A leak of this key will compromise the Secure Boot system.
* Do not allow any third party to observe any aspects of the key generation or signing process using espsecure.py. Both processes are vulnerable to timing or other side-channel attacks.
* Enable all Secure Boot options in the Secure Boot Configuration. These include flash encryption, disabling of JTAG, disabling BASIC ROM interpreter, and disabling the UART bootloader encrypted flash access.
* Use Secure Boot in combination with :doc:`flash encryption<flash-encryption>` to prevent local readout of the flash contents.
.. only:: esp32s2 or esp32c3 or esp32s3
Key Management
--------------
* Between 1 and 3 RSA-3072 public key pairs (Keys #0, #1, #2) should be computed independently and stored separately.
* The KEY_DIGEST eFuses should be write protected after being programmed.
* The unused KEY_DIGEST slots must have their corresponding KEY_REVOKE eFuse burned to permanently disable them. This must happen before the device leaves the factory.
* The eFuses can either be written by the software bootloader during during first boot after enabling "Secure Boot V2" from menuconfig or can be done using `espefuse.py` which communicates with the serial bootloader program in ROM.
* The KEY_DIGESTs should be numbered sequentially beginning at key digest #0. (i.e., if key digest #1 is used, key digest #0 should be used. If key digest #2 is used, key digest #0 & #1 must be used.)
* The software bootloader (non OTA upgradeable) is signed using at least one, possibly all three, private keys and flashed in the factory.
* Apps should only be signed with a single private key (the others being stored securely elsewhere), however they may be signed with multiple private keys if some are being revoked (see Key Revocation, below).
Multiple Keys
-------------
* The bootloader should be signed with all the private key(s) that are needed for the life of the device, before it is flashed.
* The build system can sign with at most one private key, user has to run manual commands to append more signatures if necessary.
* You can use the append functionality of ``espsecure.py``, this command would also printed at the end of the Secure Boot V2 enabled bootloader compilation.
espsecure.py sign_data -k secure_boot_signing_key2.pem -v 2 --append_signatures -o signed_bootloader.bin build/bootloader/bootloader.bin
* While signing with multiple private keys, it is recommended that the private keys be signed independently, if possible on different servers and stored separately.
* You can check the signatures attached to a binary using -
espsecure.py signature_info_v2 datafile.bin
Key Revocation
--------------
* Keys are processed in a linear order. (key #0, key #1, key #2).
* Applications should be signed with only one key at a time, to minimize the exposure of unused private keys.
* The bootloader can be signed with multiple keys from the factory.
Conservative approach:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Assuming a trusted private key (N-1) has been compromised, to update to new key pair (N).
1. Server sends an OTA update with an application signed with the new private key (#N).
2. The new OTA update is written to an unused OTA app partition.
3. The new application's signature block is validated. The public keys are checked against the digests programmed in the eFuse & the application is verified using the verified public key.
4. The active partition is set to the new OTA application's partition.
5. Device resets, loads the bootloader (verified with key #N-1) which then boots new app (verified with key #N).
6. The new app verifies bootloader with key #N (as a final check) and then runs code to revoke key #N-1 (sets KEY_REVOKE eFuse bit).
7. The API `esp_ota_revoke_secure_boot_public_key()` can be used to revoke the key #N-1.
* A similar approach can also be used to physically re-flash with a new key. For physical re-flashing, the bootloader content can also be changed at the same time.
Aggressive approach:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROM code has an additional feature of revoking a public key digest if the signature verification fails.
To enable this feature, you need to burn SECURE_BOOT_AGGRESSIVE_REVOKE efuse or enable :ref:`CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE_AGGRESSIVE_KEY_REVOKE`
Key revocation is not applicable unless secure boot is successfully enabled. Also, a key is not revoked in case of invalid signature block or invalid image digest, it is only revoked in case the signature verification fails, i.e. revoke key only if failure in step 3 of :ref:`verify_image`
Once a key is revoked, it can never be used for verfying a signature of an image. This feature provides strong resistance against physical attacks on the device. However, this could also brick the device permanently if all the keys are revoked because of signature verification failure.
.. _secure-boot-v2-technical-details:
Technical Details
-----------------
The following sections contain low-level reference descriptions of various Secure Boot elements:
Manual Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Secure boot is integrated into the esp-idf build system, so ``idf.py build`` will sign an app image and ``idf.py bootloader`` will produce a signed bootloader if secure signed binaries on build is enabled.
However, it is possible to use the ``espsecure.py`` tool to make standalone signatures and digests.
To sign a binary image::
espsecure.py sign_data --version 2 --keyfile ./my_signing_key.pem --output ./image_signed.bin image-unsigned.bin
Keyfile is the PEM file containing an {IDF_TARGET_SBV2_KEY} private signing key.
.. _secure-boot-v2-and-flash-encr:
Secure Boot & Flash Encryption
------------------------------
If Secure Boot is used without :doc:`Flash Encryption <flash-encryption>`, it is possible to launch "time-of-check to time-of-use" attack, where flash contents are swapped after the image is verified and running. Therefore, it is recommended to use both the features together.
.. only:: esp32c2
.. important::
{IDF_TARGET_NAME} has only one eFuse key block, which is used for both keys: Secure Boot and Flash Encryption. The eFuse key block can only be burned once. Therefore these keys should be burned together at the same time. Please note that "Secure Boot" and "Flash Encryption" can not be enabled separately as subsequent writes to eFuse key block shall return an error.
.. _signed-app-verify-v2:
Signed App Verification Without Hardware Secure Boot
----------------------------------------------------
The Secure Boot V2 signature of apps can be checked on OTA update, without enabling the hardware Secure Boot option. This option uses the same app signature scheme as Secure Boot V2, but unlike hardware Secure Boot it does not prevent an attacker who can write to flash from bypassing the signature protection.
This may be desirable in cases where the delay of Secure Boot verification on startup is unacceptable, and/or where the threat model does not include physical access or attackers writing to bootloader or app partitions in flash.
In this mode, the public key which is present in the signature block of the currently running app will be used to verify the signature of a newly updated app. (The signature on the running app isn't verified during the update process, it's assumed to be valid.) In this way the system creates a chain of trust from the running app to the newly updated app.
For this reason, it's essential that the initial app flashed to the device is also signed. A check is run on app startup and the app will abort if no signatures are found. This is to try and prevent a situation where no update is possible. The app should have only one valid signature block in the first position. Note again that, unlike hardware Secure Boot V2, the signature of the running app isn't verified on boot. The system only verifies a signature block in the first position and ignores any other appended signatures.
.. only:: not esp32
Although multiple trusted keys are supported when using hardware Secure Boot, only the first public key in the signature block is used to verify updates if signature checking without Secure Boot is configured. If multiple trusted public keys are required, it's necessary to enable the full Secure Boot feature instead.
.. note::
In general, it's recommended to use full hardware Secure Boot unless certain that this option is sufficient for application security needs.
.. _signed-app-verify-v2-howto:
How To Enable Signed App Verification
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Open :ref:`project-configuration-menu` -> Security features
.. only:: esp32
2. Ensure `App Signing Scheme` is `RSA`. For ESP32 ECO3 chip, select :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32_REV_MIN` to `Rev 3` to get `RSA` option available
.. only:: not esp32 and not esp32c2
2. Ensure `App Signing Scheme` is `RSA`
.. only:: esp32c2
2. Ensure `App Signing Scheme` is `ECDSA (V2)`
3. Enable :ref:`CONFIG_SECURE_SIGNED_APPS_NO_SECURE_BOOT`
4. By default, "Sign binaries during build" will be enabled on selecting "Require signed app images" option, which will sign binary files as a part of build process. The file named in "Secure boot private signing key" will be used to sign the image.
5. If you disable "Sign binaries during build" option then all app binaries must be manually signed by following instructions in :ref:`remote-sign-v2-image`.
.. warning::
It is very important that all apps flashed have been signed, either during the build or after the build.
Advanced Features
-----------------
JTAG Debugging
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By default, when Secure Boot is enabled then JTAG debugging is disabled via eFuse. The bootloader does this on first boot, at the same time it enables Secure Boot.
See :ref:`jtag-debugging-security-features` for more information about using JTAG Debugging with either Secure Boot or signed app verification enabled.
