Re: [TF-M] [Request For Comments] Expose the NV counters under platform service.

by Adrian Shaw

Hi Minos, What are the use cases for Application Root of Trust services that need NV counters? The NV counters are used by the PSA Root of Trust for rollback protection of images and secure storage. There are usually very few available. Hence the question above.

Hi, The Non-Volatile (NV) counters are a part of the PSA Root of Trust. In order to enable Applications residing in the Root of Trust partition to use the counters, an appropriate interface is needed. This proposal is to enhance the existing platform service, in order to expose a generic API aimed at providing access to Non-Volatile counters to applications residing in the Application Root of Trust. This implementation will not modify or affect the existing tfm_plat_nv_counters API or its’ platform specific implementation and will instead introduce a shim layer between a psa_call and the existing logic.

Re: [TF-M] TF-M Technical Forum call - January 23

by Jamie Fox

Hi Anton, I would like to share some details about secure storage in TF-M. I can give an overview of what we have, how to use it and recent/in progress changes, and take questions on more in-depth topics. Kind regards, Jamie From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Anton Komlev via TF-M Sent: 13 January 2020 11:02 To: TF-M(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: Re: [TF-M] TF-M Technical Forum call - January 23 Hello, Just noted (thanks to David) that January 23 is a day ahead of Lunar New Year so we may expect less interest to the forum from Asia. This is an opportunity to make the forum time US friendly on the next session. Preliminary suggest to have it Thursday, January 23rd at 17:00-18:00 UTC. Which a morning time in US. Again, please send your topics in respond to this mail. Experts and developers could be invited to answer specific questions asked in advance.

Re: [TF-M] [Request For Comments] apply "-fno-builtin" as default compiler flags

Hi, As mentioned, we have created the patch here to apply "-fno-builtin": https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/trusted-firmware-m/+/3217 Will keep it there for a while for validation purpose.

Re: [TF-M] Code Protection between secure services

by Andrew Thoelke

> I was referring to the Code Protection between "PSA Root of Trust" and the "Secure Services". "Secure Services" is not a defined concept in the PSA-FF description of isolation. A "RoT Service" might run in the Application RoT or in the PSA RoT. In the response below I guess that you are referring to a Service that is running in a Secure Partition in the Application RoT? > From my understanding, in isolation level 2 code of the PSA Root of Trust should be not accessible by Secure Services. > This creates the practical problem that library code cannot be shared. > > Table 5 in PSA-FF describes "Optional Isolation Rules". Is my understanding correct that PSA-FF does not require code execution protection between "PSA Root of Trust" and the "Secure Services". At level 2 "Application Root of Trust _needs protection from_ PSA Root of Trust" (section 3.1.3) However, your reading of 3.14 and 3.1.5 is correct: - Protection of code is not mandatory in an implementation. - The only mandatory rule when implementing "needs protect from" is in table 4, which in this case requires that PSA RoT "private data" is not accessible to firmware executing in the Application RoT. So an implementation is permitted to share code (and its RO data) between PSA RoT, Application RoT and even NSPE; or to prevent sharing of code across one or more of those boundaries. - Andrew IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.

Code Protection between secure services

by Reinhard Keil

Sorry Andrew I was not precise enough. Maybe you can clarify again. I was referring to the Code Protection between "PSA Root of Trust" and the "Secure Services". >From my understanding, in isolation level 2 code of the PSA Root of Trust should be not accessible by Secure Services. This creates the practical problem that library code cannot be shared. Table 5 in PSA-FF describes "Optional Isolation Rules". Is my understanding correct that PSA-FF does not require code execution protection between "PSA Root of Trust" and the "Secure Services". Reinhard
