Implementation + +## Introduction +The aim of the Cryptech project is to develop an open, free, and +auditable HSM. The Cryptech HSM includes both SW and HW parts. In at +least the first iteration of the Cryptech HSM, the HW parts are +implemented using FPGA devices. However, the ability to implement the +HW parts in a Cryptech ASIC device in a future iteration is anticipated +in the design. This text provides a short description of what the HW +part of the Cryptech HSM contains, the design style used, and what would +have to change in order to implement the HW part in an ASIC. + + +## General digital functions and internal memories +The Cryptech digital functionality cores, such as the SHA-256 core, are +written in generic RTL (Register Transfer Level) Verilog code. The code +is written in a fairly conservative coding style and use language +features from IEEE 1364-2001 (aka Verilog 2001). + +All RTL code is divided into modules that contain one process for register updates and reset (*reg_update*), one or more combinational processes for datapath and support logic such as counters. Finally if needed, each module has a separate process that implements the logic for the final state machine that controls the behaviour of the module. + +All cores are divided into a core, for example *sha256_core.v* and a number of submodules the core instantiates. The core provides raw, wide ports (256 bit wide key for AES for example) that is not suitable to use in a stand alone system. Instead each core comes with a top level wrapper, for example *sha256.v*. This top level wrapper contains all registers and logic needed to provide all functionality of the core via a simple 32-bit memory like interface. If the core is going to be used as a tightly integrated submodule, the wrapper can be discarded. Similarly, if the core is going to be used in a bus system that use a specific bus standard such as AMBA AHB, CoreConnect or WISHBONE, only the top level wrapper will be needed to be replaced or modified to match the desired bus standard. + +The RTL code does not explicitly instantiate any hard macros such as +memories, multipliers, etc. Instead all such functions are left to the +synthesis tool to infer based on the code. All memories are placed in separate modules to allow easy modification of the design. In an ASIC setting any memories not automatically mapped will be replaced by instantiation of specific macros. + +Some of the memories in the designs have combinational read (i.e the read +data is not locked by an output register, which infers a one cycle read +latency). For some FPGA technologies these memories are not compatible with the available physical memories. The synthesis tools therefor implement these memories +using separate registers rather than selecting a memory instance. In an ASIC +implementation these memories would likely become real memory macros to allow for a faster and more compact implementation. + + +## Interfaces +External interfaces such as GPIO, Ethernet GMII, UART, etc., will always +require some modification for the Cryptech design to be implemented in a +given technology, whether it is a specific FPGA type or an ASIC. The +important thing is that the Cryptech design does not use technology +specific macros to implement the interfaces. But pin assignments, +timing, and electrical requirements will always require adjustment and +work. + + +## Clocking and reset +The design style used in the Cryptech Verilog code currently follows the +guidelines from the FPGA vendors Altera and Xilinx. This means that we +use synchronous reset. For an ASIC implementation this will also work, +even though asynchronous reset is far more common in ASIC designs. Changing +to asynchronous reset is not a very big undertaking however, as the +register reset and update clocking are separated into easily +identifiable processes (*reg_update*) in the modules. + +Most if not all registers in the Cryptech Verilog code have a defined +reset state. Most registers also have a write enable signal that +controls the update. This corresponds well with the registers available +in FPGA technologies from Altera and Xilinx and their recommended design strategy from the vendors. This is also in line with common +and good design styles for ASICs, which allows for compact code and low +power implementations. The design is currently not use any clock gating. In future revisions this might be added if power consumption needs to be reduced and does not add side channel issues. + + +## External memories +The Cryptech hardware design will use external persistent memories for +protected key storage as well as external SRAM for protected master key +storage. In an ASIC implementation the master key memory would probably +be integrated to further enhance security. + +Just like other external interfaces (see above), the interfaces for the +external memories do not use any explicitly instantiated hard macros in +the FPGAs. + + +## Entropy sources +The current Cryptech design contains two separate physical entropy +sources. + +1: An avalanche noise based entropy source placed outside the FPGA. The +entropy source signal is sampled by the FPGA using a flank detection +mechanism. + +An ASIC implementation would be able to use the external entropy source just like the FPGA. Furthermore, depending on the process options, it might be +possible to have an internal avalanche diode based on ESD structures commonly used in I/O pin implementations. In a power management capable process, functionality available in step-up converters might also be possible to use as internal avalanche noise source. + +Note that integrating the avalanche noise source does not mean that an off-chip noise source is excluded. The Cryptech RNG is modular and having both an internal and an external avalanche noise source is quite possible. + +2: A ring oscillator based entropy source placed inside the FPGA. The ring oscillator used in the FPGA is based on carry chain feedback through adders. An ASIC implementation of this ring oscillator should work and produce noise with similar characteristics. However the specific circuit will have to be characterized with explicit layout and qualified for the given process. + + +## Toolchain +Crypech currently use Verilog simulators for functional verification and commercial FPGA tools for implementation including time analysis. + +An ASIC implementation will require several new tools including tools for synthesis, place & route and static time analysis that is acceptable as sign-off tool by the chip process vendor. + + +## Conclusions +The HW designed for the first iteration of Cryptech is not specifically +designed for FPGA implementation, but is in fact designed in a generic +way to allow for easy implementation using different technologies such +as ASICs. + +There are however parts of the design that will have to be updated or +modified in order to create a good ASIC implementation. The Cryptech +project is confident that we know what those parts are and what they +would entail. + +Developing an ASIC will however require new tools which will incur costs. diff --git a/pelican/content/AlphaBoard.md b/pelican/content/AlphaBoard.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9dd7fee --- /dev/null +++ b/pelican/content/AlphaBoard.md @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +# Alpha Board + +## Rev 02 + +### Components + + +- ARM Processor: [STM32F429](http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/microcontrollers/stm32-32-bit-arm-cortex-mcus/stm32f4-series/stm32f429-439.html) +- FPGA: [Xilinx Artix-7 XC7A200T-1](http://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/fpga/artix-7.html) +- Tamper Circuit: [ATtiny828](http://www.atmel.com/devices/ATTINY828.aspx) + + + + +### Status LEDs + +| ID | Color | Meaning | +|---|---|---| +| 01 | Green | ARM LED 2 | +| 02 | Red | ARM LED 4 | +| 03 | Blue | ARM LED 1 | +| 04 | Yellow | ARM LED 3 | +| 05 | Yellow | Application Access USB UART Rx | +| 06 | Green | Application Access USB UART Tx | +| 07 | Yellow | Management Access USB UART Rx | +| 08 | Green | Management Access USB UART Tx | +| 09 | Green | AVR LED 2 | +| 10 | Red | AVR LED 4 | +| 11 | Blue | AVR LED 1 | +| 12 | Yellow | AVR LED 3 | +| 13 | Red | FPGA Config NOT DONE | +| 14 | Red | FPGA LED 3 | +| 15 | Green | FPGA LED 1 | +| 16 | Yellow | FPGA LED 2 | +| 17 | Blue | FPGA LED 0.

Overall, there are two methods, one of which +our developers use while writing this stuff, the other of which we use +for the automated reproducible builds which go into our binary +distributions. Both methods eventually boil down to "get the source +code then run make", but the details differ. + +## What developers do + +We check out copies of all the several dozen separate repositories and +carefully arrange them in a tree structure which matches the official +naming scheme. Yes, really. It's tedious, but we have +[export:/user/sra/build-tools/https-sync-repos.py a script to automate this]. +Be warned that this script is a kludge which relies on parsing +XML from this Wiki; this is nasty, but reasonably stable, because the +XML itself is generated by another script. + +Once you have this tree, you can hop around within it, building +whichever bits are of interest to you. So if you want to rebuild just +the HSM firmware (the C code that runs on the ARM), you would go to +`sw/stm32` and run `make` there. + +## What we do for reproducible builds + +Reproducible builds use the same tree structure (as they must for the +various Makefiles to work properly), but the entire tree is embedded +in a git "superrepository" which also contains the release engineering +goo necessary to make the whole thing work. Do `git help submodule` +for an introduction to git's submodule mechanism. + +With this model, one just checks out a copy of +[source:/releng/alpha the superrepository], +runs `make` in its top directory, and eventually +the complete package pops out the other side. + +``` +git clone https://git.cryptech.is/releng/alpha.git +cd alpha +make +``` + +That's the good news. The bad news is that this process has higher +demands on its build environment: it expects to find the a complete +tool set, including the XiLinx synthesis tools, the several different +cross compilers for the firmware, and the `pbuilder` system for +building clean room packages for Ubuntu and Debian. + +As a compromise, one can use this source tree as if it were the +development source tree described above: just use the supermodule to +pull down everything else, but then ignore the supermodule and build +individual pieces as if you'd checked out all the repositories by +hand. + +## Skip all this git mess and just download a tarball + +There's another alternative, which is simpler than any of the above: +just download the source tarball. Since the only build environments +we support at the moment are Debian Jessie and Ubuntu Xenial, which +also happen to be environments for which we build binary packages, you +can just use APT: + +``` +apt-get source cryptech-alpha +``` + +Which will give you the same tree structure, but without all the git fun. + +## Build environment + +Our software and firmware developers use the Debian and Ubuntu Linux +distributions. Our current build box for binary packages runs Debian +Jessie. + +Our Verilog developers use various environments and have been known to +use graphical tools, but synthesis of the bitstreams that go in our +binary packages is done via the XiLinx command line tools on the same +Debian Jessie machine as the software and firmware builds. + +Which tools you need will of course depend on exactly what you're +trying to do. + +Most of the tools work on either 32-bit or 64-bit machines, but if you +intend to run the full binary package build script, you'll need a +64-bit machine (or VM) because the tools won't build 64-bit binaries +on a 32-bit machine. + +Basic tool set (not all required for every purpose, but they're all +supported Debian packages so it's usually easier just to install them +all and not worry about it): + +``` + apt-get install git pbuilder ubuntu-dev-tools rsync sudo + apt-get install python-yaml python-serial python-crypto python-ecdsa + apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi gdb-arm-none-eabi + apt-get install gcc-avr binutils-avr avr-libc + apt-get -t jessie-backports install debootstrap distro-info-data + apt-get install reprepro ubuntu-archive-keyring +``` + +This is not an exhaustive list, because some of the other packages we +use are pulled in by these as dependencies. + +You will also need a copy of the XiLinx tools, which is tedious enough +that it's described in a separate section, below. + +Once you have all the tools installed, you'll need a copy of the +source tree, as explained in the preceeding sections. + +pbuilder requires a bit of setup (you can skip this if you're not +trying to do the full binary package build): + +``` +for code in jessie xenial; do for arch in i386 amd64; do pbuilder-dist $code $arch create; done; done +ln -s jessie_result ~/pbuilder/jessie-amd64_result +ln -s xenial_result ~/pbuilder/xenial-amd64_result +``` + +## Installing the XiLinx tools + +XiLinx tools setup is a bit involved. You can skip this section if +you don't intend to build FPGA bitstreams. + +We use the command line versions of the XiLinx tools, but installing +them requires a graphical environment, because the XiLinx installer +and license manager are GUI tools. If you're running this on a server +and don't already have a graphical environment installed, you can get +away with something fairly minimal. For example, if you have a VNC +viewer such as "Chicken of the VNC" on your laptop, you can get away +with a fairly minimal X11 toolset: + +``` +apt-get install tightvncserver xterm icewm +``` + +If you're already running X11 on your laptop and are comfortable with +extruding that to the build machine, eg, via `ssh -Y`, you can just +use that (not recommended for long-haul use, eg, if the laptop is in +Boston and the server is in Reykjavik). + +You'll need to start by using a web browser to download the +[Xilinx ​ISE Design Suite](http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/design-tools.html). + +XiLinx only supports specific versions of Red Hat and Suse Linux, but +their tools do run on Debian and Ubuntu. A few caveats: + + +* Debian and Ubuntu symlink `/bin/sh` to `/bin/dash`, which can't handle + + some of the syntax used in XiLinx's shell scripts, so you'll need to + change that symlink to point to `/bin/bash`. + + +* Although the XiLinx software can be installed as user or root, by + + default it wants to install into /opt/Xilinx, so you need to install + as root if you want to do that. + + +* The XiLinx tools are disk hogs, so if you're building a VM for this, + + you'll probably want to give it at least 30-40 GB of disk space. + +Step-by-step installation: + +1. Unpack `Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.7_1015_1.tar` (or whatever version you have). +2. In an X11 environment, cd to `Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.7_1015_1`, and run `sudo ./xsetup` +3. Click through two screens of license agreements. +4. Select `ISE WebPACK`. +5. Unselect (or leave unselected) Install Cable Drivers. +6. Go! + +Well, not quite. You'll need to convince the ISE tools that you have +a valid license to use the ISE tools. Go to +http://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/ise-design-suite/ise-webpack.htm, +click the `Licensing Solutions` link. On the page to which that takes +you, expand the section `Obtain a license for Free or Evaluation +product`. To download the ISE Webpack, you should have created an +account, so now you can go to the Licensing Site and use that account +to create a Certificate Based License. + +You do not need to go through the HostID dance, just say Do It. You +will then receive a certificate in email (not an X.509 certificate) +which you will be able to use. Then start the ISE Webpack by issuing +the command `ise`.

The system is connected to a host computer via a serial interface.* + +## SW and system requirements +You need to download and install the Altera Quartus II Web Edition +software [2]. There are versions of Quartus II Web Edition for Windows and Linux. I'm using the Windows version, but Linux **should** work too. + +You will probably also install drivers for the Altera USB-blaster in order to program the FPGA on the development board. For instructions on how to install the driver, please see the Altera page for USB-blaster [7]. + +For communication with the coretest_hashes in the FPGA we will be using the USB-serial device on the development board. The USB-serial chip on the +board is a FTDI FT232R [3]. If your host OS does not have support for this device you will need to install drivers. For Windows the correct file to download seems to be a VCP file [7]. + +Finally, in order to talk to coretest_hashes from the host there is application SW. This SW is written in Python and uses the Pyserial[5] library. If you don't have Python and/or Pyserial installed you will need to install that too. + +**NOTE: Python and Pyserial does not have to be installed in the same OS as Quartus II but can be run from a separate system and OS.** + +(I'm using Quartus II 13.1 64-bit version running in Win8.1 in a VM in Parallels Desktop in OX 10.9.2 during this writeup. And I use Python and Pyserial in an iTerm in OSX for the serial communication.) + +With all this SW installed you should be ready to proceed to create the +coretest_hashes project. + +**I also recommend that you download the TerasIC C5G User Manual [4]. It is a really good document that describes the boards with all functions, pins etc.** + + +## Downloading the cores +Create a project directory. I'm using test_coretest_hashes.

To save time there is +also a pin list available in the coretest_hashes directory. + + +- Navigate to test_coretest_hashes/cores/coretest_hashes/toolruns/quartus/terasic_c5g + + + +- The file coretest_hashes.qsf contains assignments for a project like + + the one we are setting up.

There is also a +debug port that in the coretest_hashes design is connected to the debug +port in the uart. This allows us to see byte values received by the +uart. This debug port is connected to pins that control the green LEDs +just above the row of buttons that includes 'KEY0'. + +In order to enter the pin assignments select 'Assignments' in the +Quartus top level menue bar. The select 'Assignment Editor'. Then either +manually enter each of the assignments above. This will require two rows +for each pin. For example for the clock ('clk') we would enter: + + +- Row 1: 'To': clk, 'Assignment name': Location, 'Value': PIN_R20 +- Row 2: 'To': clk, 'Assignment name': I/O Standard, 'Value': 3.3-V LVTTL + + +An easier way is to open up the file coretest_hashes.qsf in test_coretest_hashes/cores/coretest_hashes/toolruns/quartus/terasic_c5g and add the pin assignment from that file to your qsf file in test_coretest_hashes/toolruns. If you then open up the Assignments Editor the same definitions should be shown. + +We now need to define the clock. Under 'Assignments' in the top level +menue select 'TimeQuest Timing Analyzer Wizard'. Press 'Next' to get +from the 'Intro' page. + +Under 'Specify base clock settings' enter 'clk' as 'Clock Name' and +'Input Pin'. Enter '20' in 'Period' and note that 'ns' is selected as +time scale. In the 'Equivalent SDC Commands' you should see: + +``` + create_clock -name "clk" -period 20.000ns [get_ports {clk}] +``` + +Now press 'Next' four times to get to the final page and then press +'Finish' to complete the clock setup. If we now look in the +test_coretest_hashes/toolruns directory there should be a file called +coretest_hashes.sdc that contains the SDC command above. + +Now we are ready to build the real FPGA configuration. Press the purple +'Start Compilation' button again. After build we should now have an FPGA +configuration that requires 2852 ALMs, 3666 registers, 12 pins and meets +timing. The max clock frequency for the design should be about 72 MHz. + +Time to load the design onto the board. + + +## Configuring the FPGA on the C5G board +If you haven't turned on the C5G board and connected the board to the +computer Quartus is installed on, do so now. You should see the +7-segment displays and LEDs start flashing in a simple sequence. This +shows that the default configuration in the FPGA has been loaded and the +board works. + +In Quartus now locate the 'Programmer' menue button (it looks like a +chip with waves). Alternatively Select 'Tools' in the top level Menue +and then 'Programmer'. + +In the Programmer window if everything is working magically we should +see a list view with toolruns/output_files/coretest_hashes.sof +selected.

If the USB-blaster is +present make sure it is selected and then press 'Close'. + +If the file is not showing, in the main Programmer window, select 'Add +File' and navigate and to toolruns/output_files in the project +directory. Select 'coretest_hashes.sof' and press 'Open'. + +In the main Programmer window now press 'Start' to start +programming. When this has been completed (See 'Progress' in the upper +right hand corner in the Programmer board) the LEDs etc should have +stopped blinking. We should now have coretest_hashes alive on the +development board. Time for host communication and testing! + + +## Talking to coretest_hashes and test of SHA-1 and SHA-256 +There is a (currently rather ugly) test program for +coretest_hashes. Navigate to test_coretest_hashes/cores/coretest_hashes/src/sw + +``` +#> ls +hash_tester.py +``` + +This is a Python2.x program that uses Pyserial [5] to open up a serial +port and talk to coretest via the uart. The command and response format +used is a very simple byte oriented format. For more info, see the +README.md in [browser:/core/coretest "the top of coretest"]. + +The program hash_tester.py needs to know which serial interface to +use. This is defined in the main() function (yes, VERY ugly). You will +need to edit the program source to point to the serial interface +connected to the USB-serial chip on the C5G board. For me that device +is: + +``` + ser.port='/dev/cu.usbserial-A801SA6T' +``` + +If everthing is working properly you should now just have to do: +``` + python hash_tester.py +``` + +If the communication has been set up properly you should now see: +``` + TC1-1: Reading name, type and version words from SHA-1 core. + READ_OK. address 0x1000 = 0x73686131. + READ_OK. address 0x1001 = 0x20202020. + READ_OK. address 0x1002 = 0x302e3530. + ... +``` + +That is the first test case that reads from specific registers in the +SHA-1 core. If we look in sha1/src/rtl/sha1.v there are some defines: +``` + parameter CORE_NAME0 = 32'h73686131; // "sha1" + parameter CORE_NAME1 = 32'h20202020; // " " + parameter CORE_VERSION = 32'h302e3530; // "0.50" +``` + +As we can see those hex values matches what is being read from the FPGA +and is the name and version strings in the core. + +Moving on, hash_tester.py also performs single block message hash tests +of both the SHA-1 and SHA-256 core. The message is "abc" padded to the +correct block size for SHA-1 and SHA-256. These tests are defined by +NIST including the expected result in [6]. The block is written as a +sequence of 32-bit words to addresses mapped to the block registers in +the sha1 core. + +Finally we set the init_flag in the control register in +sha1 to one which should make the sha1 core initialize and then process +the first (of possible several) message block. This takes in total 82 +cycles for the core. This means that by the time the host gets the +'WRITE_OK. address 0x1008.' message, the core is done since many cycles +ago. We therefore check status and try to extract the digest. + +Looking at the output from hash_tester.py we see: +``` + TC1-3: Reading SHA-1 status and digest. + READ_OK. address 0x1009 = 0x00000003. + READ_OK. address 0x1020 = 0xa9993e36. + READ_OK. address 0x1021 = 0x4706816a. + READ_OK. address 0x1022 = 0xba3e2571. + READ_OK. address 0x1023 = 0x7850c26c. + READ_OK. address 0x1024 = 0x9cd0d89d. +``` + +Address 0x1009 corresponds to address 0x09 in the SHA-1 core. This +address contains the status of the core. 0x03 means that the data in the +digest is valid and that the core is ready to accept now commnands. + +The digest generated by the sha1 core is in MSB format which means that +the digest generated is: +``` + 0xa9993e36 0x4706816a 0xba3e2571 0x7850c26c 0x9cd0d89d +``` + +If we compare that to the expected result in [6] we can see that this is +correct. Similarly, for SHA-256 we get: +``` + TC2-3: Reading SHA-256 status and digest. + READ_OK. address 0x2009 = 0x00000003. + READ_OK. address 0x2020 = 0xba7816bf. + READ_OK. address 0x2021 = 0x8f01cfea. + READ_OK. address 0x2022 = 0x414140de. + READ_OK. address 0x2023 = 0x5dae2223. + READ_OK. address 0x2024 = 0xb00361a3. + READ_OK. address 0x2025 = 0x96177a9c. + READ_OK. address 0x2026 = 0xb410ff61. + READ_OK. address 0x2027 = 0xf20015ad. +``` + +The digest generated is thus: +``` + 0xba7816bf 0x8f01cfea 0x414140de 0x5dae2223 + 0xb00361a3 0x96177a9c 0xb410ff61 0xf20015ad +``` + +Which again matches what is specified in [6] + + +## Summary +We have now set up a complete development and verification environment +for Cryptech. We have setup and built the coretest_hashes subsystem for +the TerasIC C5G board. Finally we have connected to coretest_hashes from +SW in the host and verified that we can write to and receive response +needed to perform SHA-1 and SHA-256 hash operations and get correct +digest back. + +If you have not been able to complete this, please contact me (Joachim Strömbergson). + +Happy Hashing! + + +## References + +- [1]: http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&No=830 +- [2]: http://www.altera.com/products/software/quartus-ii/web-edition/qts-we-index.html +- [3]: http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/ICs/FT232R.htm +- [4]: http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=165&No=830&PartNo=4 +- [5]: http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/ +- [6]: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/toolkit/documents/Examples/SHA_All.pdf +- [7]: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm +- [8]: http://www.altera.com/download/drivers/usb-blaster/dri-usb-blaster-vista.html diff --git a/pelican/content/CoretestHashesNovena.md b/pelican/content/CoretestHashesNovena.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3dfc8cd --- /dev/null +++ b/pelican/content/CoretestHashesNovena.md @@ -0,0 +1,260 @@ +# How to start using coretest_hashes on the Novena PVT1 + +This is a writeup on how to setup, build and testrun the coretest_hashes +Cryptech subsystem on a Novena PVT1 development board. + +## Getting started with Novena + +[Novena](http://www.kosagi.com/w/index.php?title=Novena_Main_Page) is an open hardware and F/OSS-friendly computing platform. + + + +It is a small single-board Linux PC, which happens to include a Xilinx [Spartan-6 FPGA].

The standards are described and compared based on license and +availability, technical specifications and general usage. + +The purpose of the document is to provide a basis for selecting the +primary bus standard for the Cryptech Open HSM project. + + +## Overview +System on Chip (SoC) designs require some sort of connectivity between +the different components (called cores or IP-cores, as in Intellectual +Property) that are placed onto the same die. + +There are several standards for on-chip interconnect, standards that +provide technical diversity that might be required by the +system. Typical differences are: + + + - Performance. The capacity as well as latency. + + + + - Intelligence. Simple master-slave read/write access or DMA-transfers, + + coherence support etc. + + + - point to point or point to multipoint. Basically bus based or switch + + fabric. + + +There are also non-technical differences: + + + - Licensing and pricing. Does using a standard add monetary cost and + + does using the standard infer restrictions in sharing, disclosure of + source code? + + + - Market share. The market share is primarily interesting as basis for + + the availability of other cores that could be integrated. + + +## Description of Standards + +### AMBA +AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) [#fn1 (1)], [#fn2 (2)] is a family of +interconnect standards from ARM Ltd. AMBA is widely used in systems +implemented in ASICs (for example mobile phone platforms), but are also +used in FPGAs. AMBA is for example used by the LEON [#fn3 (3)] processor +cores and subsystem GRLIB. + +AMBA currently contains four main interconnect types: + + + - APB. A simple register read/write bus used to connect simpler + + devices such as timers, IRQ handlers, slow serial I/O such as UARTS + and GPIO interfaces. The peripherals are connected to a common bus + with a single master. + + + - AHB. A more advanced bus based interconnect. Supports more complex + + data transfers of up to 1 kByte data. Supports multiple masters. + + + - AXI. A switch fabric based interconnect that supports multiple + + parallel transfers, multiple masters etc. + + + - ACE. A low latency interconnect that supports cache coherency to + + allow the design of multicore, multiprocessor systems on-chip. + +(There are also additional protocols in the AMBA specification for +things like tracing etc.) + +The license model for AMBA is _Open_ according to ARM. This seems to +mean that one can use AMBA to build a system. But at the same time, ARM +has intellectual properties to parts of the technology as well as +trademarks. For more information on ARM licensing, see [#fn4 (4)]. + +The OpenCores project [#fn7 (7)] lists several cores as well as tools for +different AMBA interconnect types. + +Pros: + + - Technically advanced and covers a wide range of system + + requirements. + + + - A huge user base. + + + + - A huge selection of third party support in terms of tools as well as + + cores. Most of these cores and tools are commercial and proprietary, + closed source. + +Cons: + + - Licensing. Would Cryptech need to get a license? + + + + - Availability of open cores + + + + +### Avalon +Avalon [#fn5 (5)] is a proprietary switch fabric interconnect from Altera +corporation. It is used in systems developed using the Altera Nios-II +[#fn6 (6)] family of soft processor cores and related peripherals. + +According to Altera, the license for Avalon is open: "Avalon interfaces +are an open standard. No license or royalty is required to develop and +sell products that use, or are based on Avalon interfaces." + +As far as we can discern, Avalon is not generally used outside of Altera +based designs and not supported by a large group of third party +vendors. The OpenCores project lists only a few cores that uses Avalon +as interface standard. + += +Pros: + + - Good technical features. + + + + - Easy integration in Nios-II based systems. + + +Cons: + + - Limited to Altera based FPGA designs. + + + + - Low support from open and proprietary third party suppliers of tools + + and cores. + + + +### CoreConnect +CoreConnect [#fn8 (8)] is an interconnect standard initially developed by +IBM. The standard is now used by several vendors, for example the +FPGA-vendor Xilinx[#fn9 (9)]. + +Similarly to AMBA, CoreConnect contains several types of buses providing +simple peripheral access (DCR), high speed access for processor based +systems (OPB), as well as multicore solutions (PLB). + +The license for CoreConnect is granted by IBM [#fn10 (10)]. The license seems to be +an AS IS-license, but contains a lot of other regulations. IBM holds a +number of patents related to CoreConnect (see the license agreement). + +Pros: + + - Good support on for systems implemented on Xilinx FPGAs. + + +Cons: + + - Low support by open cores and tools. + - License agreement. + + + +### OCP +The Open Core Protocol [#fn11 (11)] is a vendor neutral open interconnect standard +being developed by the EDA standards organisation Accellera [#fn12 (12)]. The +standards was previously developed by the vendor organisation OCP-IP [#fn13 (13)], +but were transferred to Accellera in October 2013. + +Like AMBA, OCP contains a wide range of interconnect types from simple +register read/write access over a common bus to point to +point-interconnect and coherency support. + +There are quite a few commercial cores using OCP, but there seem to be +very few open cores using OCP. OpenCores only lists a few cores and +they are all bridges used to connect OCP to AMBA or Wishbone. + +The license for accessing the specification itself is an amended AS +IS-type license[#fn14 (14)]. The license for the interconnect seems to be rather +open. + +Pros: + + - Good technical features. + + +Cons: + + - Not very common in use by open cores. + + + +### Wishbone +Wishbone [#fn15 (15)][#fn16 (16)] (often written WISHBONE) is an open interconnect +standard developed by members of the OpenCore project as an alternative +to commercial solutions - primarily AMBA. + +Wishbone supports bus based as well as switch fabric interconnect +solutions of Wishbone cores. There are cores and tools to create CPU +based systems with buses and fabrics. Technically Wishbone is simpler +that AMBA and CoreConnect, but provides multimasters, point to point +switch fabrics, etc. + +There are tools available to generate Wishbone interfaces for a core as +well as creating a Wishbone connected system with different types of +interconnect solutions. + +The main use is related to the OpenRISC CPU core platform +[#fn17 (17)][#fn18 (18)]. OpenCores lists a huge selection of cores with Wishbone +support. The majority of these cores have LGPL and GPL licenses. There +are also third party commercial vendors that support Wishbone cores and +systems. + +The license for the Wishbone standard is public domain and dos not +impose any restrictions on usage in cores and systems. The +specification document itself is close to Creative Commons CC-BY. + +Pros: + + - Fairly good technical support. + - Good support from open tools and cores. + - Public domain license. + + +Cons: + + - Not as advanced. No good coherency support for example. + + + +## Conclusions +OF the different standards, only two standards are really interesting +for Cryptech - AMBA and Wishbone. + +From a technical point of view, selecting AMBA would be the proper +choice. AMBA provides all types of interconnect that a Cryptech +implementation might need. Also, building a Cryptech implementation +using third party cores (CPU cores for example) would be easier with +AMBA than the other standards. Wher AMBA falls short is the questions +related to licensing as well as the a bit less common support from open +cores and tools. + +Based on ease of licensing, openness and availability of open cores, +Wishbone is an easy choice. Wishbone would quite probably meet all +performance and functionality requirements a Cryptech implementation +might have. Integration with and support from commercial cores, tools +and vendors will however not be as good. Choosing Wishbone will quite +probably mean more work for the Cryptech project to deliver cores and +tools.

Mathematically speaking, all the possible partitionings are equally relevant and as such any stream is equally "random" or "non-random", so choosing any partitioning definition is somewhat arbitrary. + +The usual *blackbox* tests are effectively based on tests used for non-crypto pseudo random number generators; as such, they are generally useful for quick, preliminary testing and for establishing confidence in the source by outsiders. But to test the health of a source, eventually whitebox tests tailored to the failure modes of the given source are needed. + + +## The `dieharder` Test Suite +Dieharder is by far the most extensive blackbox test suite. However, it is originally aimed at testing the output of non-crypto pseudo random number generators; aside from the limitations of using it for an entirely different purpose, it is rather notorious with regard to its need for extensive amounts of input. Additionally, it runs all tests sequentially, rather than making use of today's multi-core multi-threaded CPU architectures; this leads to unnecessary I/O while reading an input file that doesn't fit the disk cache, and runtimes of about an hour or so depending on the sort of computer used. + +### Usage +Generally the best approach to use `dieharder` is to first generate an output file, e.g. `random.out` to run the tests on, so `dieharder` can apply all its individual tests to the same data. For a standard test, at least about 14 GB worth of data are needed; more if one of the tests needing large amounts of data returns a suspect result and `dieharder` re-tries the same test with more data. + +The command line options I (bs) personally use are `dieharder -g 201 -f random.out -s 1 -Y 1 -k 2 -a`: + -g 201 -f random.out:: Don't use a compiled-in pseudo RNG but the file `random.out` as input. + -s 1:: Rewind the input after every test. Without this, successive tests use successive parts of the input file. + -Y 1:: Keep testing until a definite (in probabilistic terms:-) test result is obtained. + -k 2:: Use some high precision numerics for the KS test; recommended by the man page. + -a:: Run all tests. + +Additionally, these may be useful for more targeted testing: + -m :: Multiply the `psamples` value by `n`; good for getting even more reliable results, at the expense of the additional data needed. + -d :: Perform a specific test. + -l:: List all available tests by name and number. + -p :: Set the `psamples` value. See below why you may need this. + +### Interpretation of Results +The way `dieharder` works, it simply returns a clear assessment of the test results; interpretation should be immediately obvious. + +### Caveats +There are a number of things to keep in mind when using `dieharder`, especially so when running it on a reduced amount of test data. + + * If `dieharder` reaches the end of the input file, it rewinds and uses the same test data again. This has rather drastic effects on several tests which assume that some sort of repetition in the input is a sign for a seriously flawed generator. + * The `-Y 1` option works by adding 100 to the value of `psamples` until a conclusive result is found. This works reasonably well with tests that start with a value of 100 to `psamples`, but there are tests starting with 1000, and others starting with 1. + * The `-m ` option also just affects the initial value of `psamples`. + * Some of the tests themselves are marked as "suspect" or "do not use" if you run `dieharder -l`. Still, `-a` runs them, for whatever reason. + * Expect about one test in a `-a` run to return a "weak" result that needs to be resolved. According to the man page, about 1 in 1000 tests (not `-a` runs!) may fail despite the fact that the input is good. In that case I suggest doubling the input size, either by using `-m ` (which only works in conjunction with `-a`) or by adjusting `psamples` and/or `tsamples` manually. + + +### Installation +The ["Dieharder home page"](http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder.php) provides the source code as well as documentation. Dieharder is also available via package systems in Linux (apt-get install dieharder) and by brew for OSX. + + +## The FIPS140-2 Test Suite `rngtest` from `rng-tools` +While somewhat questionable in the way it has been defined in the FIPS140-2 document (and silently been removed in the -3 draft...), these tests are generally considered useful for a quick preliminary test on small amounts of test data. +They generally work on blocks of 20000 bits. + +### Usage +The `rngtest` program reads data from its standard input and by default returns a statistics overview when it reaches EOF. This can be changed with these two options (among others): + -c :: Stop running after `n` blocks. + -b :: Give intermediate results every `n` blocks. +Use at least one of these when running on a pipe or device... + +### Interpretation of Results +Since `rngtest` works on rather small sample sizes it causes a significant number of false alarms: +| Test | Expected failure rate | +|---|---| +| Total | 800ppm | +| Monobit | 100ppm | +| Poker | 100ppm | +| Runs | 300ppm | +| Long run | 300ppm | +| Continuous run | Extremely rare | + +These failure rates were however measured experimentally rather than derived from the algorithms themselves, so caveat utilitor. + +Seriously flawed inputs often show excessive failures from very small input; it is generally a good idea to keep testing until at least about 100 failures in total have occurred before seriously comparing the measured results to the expected failure rates from the table. + + + + + + diff --git a/pelican/content/RelatedWork.md b/pelican/content/RelatedWork.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..221f614 --- /dev/null +++ b/pelican/content/RelatedWork.md @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +# Related Work + +## Richard Lamb / ICANN +[Presentation at ICANN](http://ccnso.icann.org/file/32383/download/37379) + +[Presentation at ICANN](http://ccnso.icann.org/file/40211/download/52359) + +"I wrote pkcs11 libraries and also have modified BIND that offloads full +RRSIG calculation (including time) to board.

Software can still be built for direct connection to HSM but it is no longer the default. +* New trivial script `cryptech_console` to talk to the HSM's management port via the multiplexer daemon; `cryptech_upload` now supports both direct connection and connection via the multiplexer daemon. +* Python client implementations of libhal RPC mechanism and PKCS !#11 now installed as `cryptech.libhal` and `cryptech.py11`, respectively. +* Python PKCS !#11 client hacked to play nicely with `pkcs11-spy` debugging tool. +* RTOS replaced by simple non-preemptive (voluntary yield) tasking system, eliminating a huge morass of potential race conditions, debugging nightmares, priority inversions, and similar horrors. Lack of preemption means that console acess may have to wait for something else to yield the ARM CPU, but it's more than worth it to get rid of all the stability problems the RTOS was causing. +* [source:/user/sra/openssl-engine Sample code for using the HSM as an OpenSSL engine] is available.

This is tricky, since it requires either configuration (of + the other party's authenticator) or leap-of-faith. Leap-of-faith is + probably good enough for most of what we really care about (insuring + that we're talking to the same dog now as we were earlier). + + Not 100% certain we need this at all, but if we're going to leave + ourselves wide open to monkey-in-the-middle attacks, there's not + much point in having a secure channel at all. + + +* Use boring simple crypto that we already have (or almost have) and + + which runs fast. + + +* Continue to support multiplexer. Taken together with end-to-end + + message confidentiality, this may mean two layers of headers: an + outer set which the multiplexer is allowed to mutate, then an inner + set which is protected. Better, though, would be if the multiplexer + can work just by reading the outer headers without modifying + anything. + + +* Simple enough that we can implement it easily in HSM, PKCS #11 + + library, and Python library. + +## Why not TLS? + +We could, of course, Just Use TLS. Might end up doing that, if it +turns out to be easier, but TLS is a complicated beast, with far more +options than we need, and doesn't provide all of what we want, so a +fair amount of the effort would be, not wasted exactly, but a giant +step sideways. Absent sane alternatives, I'd just suck it up and do +this, with a greatly restricted ciphersuite, but I think we have a +better option. + +## Design + +Basic design lifted from "Cryptography Engineering: Design Principles +and Practical Applications" (ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2, +http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470474246.html), +tweaked in places to fit tools we have readily available. + +Toolkit: + + +* AES +* SHA-2 +* ECDH +* ECDSA +* XDR + + +As in the book, there are two layers here: the basic secure channel, +moving encrypted-and-authenticated frames back and forth, and a higher +level which handles setup, key agreement, and endpoint authentication. + +Chapter 7 outlines a simple lower layer using AES-CTR and +HMAC-SHA-256. I don't see any particular reason to change any of +this, AES-CTR is easy enough. I suppose it might be worth looking +into AES-CCM and AES-GCM, but they're somewhat more complicated; +section 7.5 ("Alternatives") discusses these briefly, we also know +some of the authors. + +For key agreement we probably want to use ECDH. We don't quite have +that yet, but in theory it's relatively minor work to generalize our +existing ECDSA code to cover that too, and, again in theory, it should +be possible to generalize our existing ECDSA fast base point multiplier +Verilog cores into fast point multiplier cores (sic: limitation of the +current cores is that they only compute scalar times the base point, +not scalar times an arbitrary point, which is fine for ECDSA but +doesn't work for ECDH). + +For signature (mutual authentication) we probably want to use ECDSA, +again because we have it and it's fast. The more interesting question +is the configuration vs leap-of-faith discussion, figuring out under +which circumstances we really care about the peer's identity, and +figuring out how to store state. + +Chapter 14 (key negotiation) of the same book covers the rest of the +protocol, substituting ECDH and ECDSA for DH and RSA, respectively. +As noted in the text, we could use a shared secret key and a MAC +function instead of public key based authentication. + +Alternatively, the Station-to-Station protocol described in 4.6.1 of +"Guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography" (ISBN 978-0-387-95273-4, +https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/b97644) appears to do what +we want, straight out of the box. + +Interaction with multiplexer is slightly interesting. The multiplexer +really only cares about one thing: being able to match responses from +the HSM to queries sent into the HSM, so that the multiplexer can send +the responses back to the right client. At the moment, it does this +by seizing control of the client_handle field in the RPC frame, which +it can get away with doing because there's no end-to-end integrity +check at all (yuck). We could add an outer layer of headers for the +multiplexer, but would rather not. + +The obvious "real" identity for clients to use would be the public +keys (ECDSA in the above discussion) they use to authenticate to the +HSM, or a hash (perhaps truncated) thereof. That's good as far as it +goes, and may suffice if we can assume that clients always have unique +keys, but if client keys are something over which the client has any +control (which includes selecting where they're stored, which we may +not be able to avoid), we have to consider the possibility of multiple +clients using the same key (yuck). So a candidate replacement for the +client_handle for multiplexer purposes would be some combination of a +public key hash and a process ID, both things the client could provide +without the multiplexer needing to do anything. + +The one argument in favor of leaving control of this to the +multiplexer (rather than the endpoints) is that it would (sort of) +protect against one client trying to masquerade as another -- but +that's really just another reason why clients should have their own +keys to the extent possible. + +As a precaution, perhaps the multiplexer should check for duplicate +identifiers, then do, um, something? if it finds duplicates. This +kind of violates Steinbach's Guideline for Systems Programming ("Never +test for an error condition you don't know how to handle"). Obvious +answer is to break all connections old and new using the duplicate +identity, minor questions about how to reset from that, whether worth +doing at all, etc. Maybe clients just shouldn't do that. + +## Open issues + + +* Does the resulting design pass examination by clueful people? + + + +* Does this end up still being significantly simpler than TLS? + + + +* The Cryptography Engineering protocols include a hack to work around + + a length extension weakness in SHA-2 (see section 5.4.2).
