Is it possible to start valid “clean” environment on previously compromised machine? 2. Is it possible to prevent tampering of apps against an attacker with physical access? 3. How to prove what apps are running on local machine to a remote party? | PV204: Trusted boot7 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI Classical boot chain | PV204: Trusted boot http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/02/linux-boot-process/ http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11341.the-windows-7-boot-process-sbsl.aspx Linux Windows How to detect that BIOS or OS Loader was modified? (evil maid, bootkit…) 8 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI How to arrive at the expected chain of apps? 1. Just trust the whole boot process 2. Make all applications in protected read-only memory – If read-only => cannot be (maliciously) modified. But is it really what is running? 3. Signature-based approach: Verified boot – Before next app is executed, its signature is verified – Requires valid (unforged) public key (integrity) – Requires trust to owner of private key (signs only valid applications) – (but which particular apps were executed is not known, only that they were signed) 4. Create un-spoofable log what executed: Measured boot – Before next app is executed, its hash (“measurement”) is added to un-spoofable log (TPM’s PCR) – Will NOT prevent run of unwanted app, but environment cannot lie about what was executed – Requires (protected) log storage (Trusted Platform Module) – May require authentication of log (Remote attestation) | PV204: Trusted boot9 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI “Verified” boot (signatures) | PV204: Trusted boot “Measured” boot (cumulative hash) Trusted boot 10 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI “Verified” boot | PV204: Trusted boot BIOS MBR GRUB Kernel User app … VERIFY (RSA) VERIFY (RSA) VERIFY (RSA) VERIFY (RSA) MEASURE: PCR = H(PCR | H(MBR)) MEASURE: PCR = H(PCR | H(GRUB)) MEASURE: PCR = H(PCR | H(Kernel)) MEASURE: PCR = H(PCR | H(User app)) Nothing => BIOS is Root of Trust What verifies or measures BIOS?

Maliciously written by BIOS vendor (backdoor) 2. Replacement of genuine BIOS by malicious one – By physical flash (SPI programmer) of BIOS code – By lack of flashing protection mechanism by original BIOS – By code logic flaws in BIOS locking mechanisms 3. Modification of other code/data used by BIOS – Bug in parsing unsigned data… • Currently used protections: – Chipset-enforced protection of flash memory with BIOS – BIOS signature verification before new version is written – Hardware-aided check of executed code (TPM, TXT, SGX) – Check of BIOS signature before execution by CPU (IBG) | PV204: Trusted boot15 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI BIOS write locking – “locks” • Prevent unauthorized BIOS flash (from host OS) • Allow for authorized BIOS changes – BIOS upgrade, signing keys update – Change of persistent configurations (boot device…) • Locking mechanism (locks) for BIOS memory write 1. Locks are unlocked after reboot 2. Signature on new BIOS version is verified by old BIOS, and new is flashed eventually (before locking locks) 3. BIOS configuration (boot device priority) is written before locking locks 4. Locks locked before handling execution to other code | PV204: Trusted boot16 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI Attacks against BIOS locks 1. Attacks typically via BIOS code vulnerability – BIOS usually does not takes (much) user input, but may parse BIOS update blob with some parts unsigned (logo) – Buffer overflow in logo parsing => Locks are not locked yet => write own BIOS – http://invisiblethingslab.com/resources/bh09usa/Attacking%20Intel%20BIOS.pdf 2. Write into flash memory by SPI programmer | PV204: Trusted boot Which one is more serious? Different attacker models 1. Is remote, but patchable 2. Is local attacker, but requires design changes to prevent 17 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI Impact: Attack against Tails live-CD distro • Tails is live-CD Linux distribution • Designed to provide security even on previously compromised computer – Boot complete fresh OS from live-CD + security tools • Attack 1: Physical BIOS modification – Modified BIOS inserts malicious code into Tails during boot time – Known thread, physical access to computer assumed • Attack 2: SMM rootkit (LightEater) – Bug in BIOS exploited by remote party to modify SMM routines • Main issue: Tails tries to start with clean erased computer, but some elements still persist erase (BIOS modifications) | PV204: Trusted boot18 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI INTEL BOOT GUARD (IBG) | PV204: Trusted boot19 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI Intel Boot Guard (IBG) • Feature to protect BIOS – Piece of trusted processor-provided, ROM-based code – Runs first after reset, verifies Initial Boot Block (IBB) 1. “Measured” boot mode (TPM-based) – Passively extends TPM’s PCRs by hash of IBB 2. “Verified” boot mode (digital signature) – OEM vendor hardcodes public key via fuses into CPU – Intel Boot Guard checks signature of IBB by OEM’s key – Only vendor-approved IBB=>BIOS=>OS is executed 3. Combination of measured and verified mode | PV204: Trusted boot20 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI BIOS Intel Boot Guard – new root of trust | PV204: Trusted boot BIOS MBR GRUB Kernel User app … Intel Boot Guard (CPU) VERIFY (RSA) VERIFY (RSA) VERIFY (RSA) VERIFY (RSA) VERIFY (RSA) MEASURE: PCR = H(BIOS-IBB) MEASURE: PCR = H(PCR | H(MBR)) MEASURE: PCR = H(PCR | H(GRUB)) MEASURE: PCR = H(PCR | H(Kernel)) MEASURE: PCR = H(PCR | H(User app)) IBG: Measured modeIBG: Verified mode 21 AMD Platform Security Processor (PSP) provides same functionality as IBG https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI Intel Boot Guard – security improvements • What attacks are mitigated by Intel Boot Guard? • Direct BIOS flash by SPI programmer – Mitigated, signature/measurement mismatch • Remote change of BIOS / BIOS data – Mitigated, signature/measurement mismatch • Other bug(s) in BIOS code – Not mitigated, signed code still contains bug • Any new attacks opened by IBG? | PV204: Trusted boot22 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI How hard is to incorporate backdoor? • OEM vendor can sign backdoored BIOS – But multiple OEM vendors exist, open-source bootloaders (coreboot) • Intel Boot Guard is written by Intel only – But OEM fuses own verification public key, right? – But it is the IBG code that actually verifies a signature! • Trivial (potential) backdoor (inside IBG code inside CPU) – if (IBB[SOME_OFFSET] == BACKDOOR_MAGIC) then always load provided BIOS (no signature check) – Or possibly verify by some other public key (secure even when BACKDOOR_MAGIC is leaked) | PV204: Trusted boot23 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI Short summary • Signature-based “verified” boot approach – Whitelisting approach – run only what is signed – Robust signature process needed (trust in private key owner) – Integrity of verification public key is critical – Key management is necessary (multiple keys, key updates) • “Measured” boot approach – Un-spoofable log of hashes of executed code – Can be remotely verified (remote attestation, explained later) • Root of trust needs to be protected – Historically was BIOS (+ update signatures + write locks) – Intel Boot Guard/AMD Platform Security Processor inside CPU (signature of BIOS) | PV204: Trusted boot24 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE | PV204: Trusted boot25 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI TPM hardware • Cryptographic smart card connected/inside to device – Secure storage, cryptographic operations… – (But not programmable JavaCard ☺) • Physical placement 1.

How to prove your state to remote party? • Idea: 1. Take current PCR values (stored inside TPM) 2. Sign it by TPM’s attestation private key (AIK), (all inside TPM) 3. Send signed PCR values + TPMLog from computer to remote party 4. Remote party holds public key and can verify signature => trust in authenticity of PCR values | PV204: Trusted boot39 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI Remote attestation of platform state • Apps running on your computer measured in PCRs • Your TPM contains unique Endorsement key • You can generate Attestation key inside TPM (AIK) – And sign AIK by Endorsement key (inside TPM) • You can sign your PCRs by AIK (inside TPM) • Remote party can verify signature on AIK key – Using public key of Endorsement key • Remote party can verify signature on PCRs – Using public key of AIK key • Remote party now knows “what” you are running | PV204: Trusted boot40 https://crocs.fi.muni.cz @CRoCS_MUNI Remote attestation • Multiple PCRs to support finer grained reporting – not just single cumulative value • Multiple PCRs available – BIOS, ROM, Memory Block Register [index 0-4] – OS loaders [5-7], Operating System [8-15] – Debug [16], Localities, Trusted OS [17-22] – Application specific [23] • What is PCR measurement good for?
