Hi, I noticed that trusted-firmware-m\interface\src\tfm_crypto_api.c defines two API_DISPATCH macros for psa_call(). It is used most of the time in the file, but I still see ~10 instances where psa_call() is used. Can it be changed to consistently use the API_DISPATCH macros. Regards, Brian Quach SimpleLink MCU Texas Instruments Inc.

PSA Cryptoprocessor Driver Interface

by Zhang, Hao

Hi TF-M community, TF-M allows Semiconductor vendors to plug in their HW accelerator using PSA cryptoprocessor driver interface. I have a couple of questions in terms of the driver interface. 1. To port customized HW accelerator to TF-M's Crypto service for TF-M v2.1.0 LTS using driver interface, for the multipart operation, https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/mbedtls/blob/zephyr/docs/proposed/psa… states that "A driver that implements a multi-part operation must define all of the entry points in this family as well as a type that represents the operation context." Take aead encrypt as an example, if the underlying hardware does not support aead_abort, could it implements aead_abort by simply return PSA_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED? 2. The driver interface depends heavily on psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h to dispatch operations to customized HW accelerator, where the psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h file is automatically generated by scripts/data_files/driver_templates/psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h.jinja. To port customized HW accelerator to TF-M's Crypto service for TF-M v2.1.0 LTS, would the approach be creating a customized psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h.jinja file, the driver description file in JSON, and entry point functions. If so and we are considering upstreaming TF-M in the future, all these files would go inside platform/ext/accelerator/<vendor name>. Efforts need to be made so files such as psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h.jinja should point to mbedtls, right? Additionally, as .jinja is retiring (mentioned in another email exchange), how would semi vendors update psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h in the future? [https://opengraph.githubassets.com/c87e79773a7fb0841ea038f7cf3dfdf4170debb8…]<https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/mbedtls/blob/zephyr/docs/proposed/psa…> mbedtls/docs/proposed/psa-driver-interface.md at zephyr · zephyrproject-rtos/mbedtls<https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/mbedtls/blob/zephyr/docs/proposed/psa…> mbedtls module for Zephyr, this is not a mirror of the official mbedtls repository. - zephyrproject-rtos/mbedtls github.com Thank you very much!

Firmware Update: Storage Failure While Rejecting a Staged Image

by cedric.klikpo＠scalinx.com

Hi, I encounter a storage failure when trying to reject a staged image. I get this error by executing `tfm_fwu_test_common_001` in `fwu_tests_common.c`. The error occurs when the `erase_boot_magic` function attempts to erase the magic number in the image trailer by writing erase into it. The reason I am writing this post is to ask: 1. If the `erase_boot_magic` failure is a known bug in the firmware update, is a fix planned or existing? 2. Why doesn't the `erase_boot_magic` function erase the sector where the magic number is located in the image trailer, considering we erasing in a flash? Thanks! Best regards, Cedric

Remove 'tfm_api_ns_tz' and 'tfm_api_ns_mailbox' targets

by Anton Komlev

Hello, I want to bring community attention to a bug fix in build script for NS application: In the original design we shall have a single CMake target 'tfm_api_ns' prepared and exported by SPE for building NSPE with consistent configuration. At some moment 2 extra targets 'tfm_api_ns_tz' and 'tfm_api_ns_mailbox' were introduced for different S-NS communication methods to be linked to tfm_api_ns on NS side. This created unnecessary NS dependency on SPE configuration and disallows creating NS application working with all platforms. This patch is fixing the issue: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/29005 Ideally, we should remove these redundant targets but that will break projects already adjusted and using them. There are 2 approaches to address the issue: 1. Preferred. Remove the targets and ask dependent projects for adjustment. (effectively, is 1 line change to stop linking to them). 2. Keep those targets as empty dummies for compatibility, polluting the code. Please comment and object the removal (approach 1) if it's critical for your project. I would appreciate your feedback within 2 weeks to make the right decision. Thanks, Anton

help - error in regression.sh using STM Nucleo-L552ZE-Q

by Miguel Costa

Hello, I followed this tutorial to add an example secure partition in TF-M ( https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/integration_guide/services/tfm_… ) and then followed these instructions to flash the application to my Nucleo-L552ZE-Q board ( https://tf-m-user-guide.trustedfirmware.org/platform/stm/common/stm32l5xx/r… ). However, the script regression.sh returned the error: Error: Cannot connect to access port 0! If you are trying to connect to a device with TrustZone enabled please try to connect with HotPlug mode. If you are trying to connect to a device which supports Debug Authentication with certificate or password, please open your device using it. After this, I am unable to connect my board STM32Cube Programmer or to flash any application using Keil MDK ARM, CubeIDE, etc. The same error is returned every time. Before I runned the regression.sh script, the board was working as expected and I was able to flash simple applications (non using TF-M) to the board. I've already tried to connect the board to the STM32Cube Programmer using the Hot Plug mode - (i) pulled BOOT0 pin to HIGH, (ii) connected the board to the PC, (iii) selected Hot Plug mode in STM32Cube Programmer and Hit Connect - but did not work. I get this log: [cid:20937ade-7ed2-4beb-bced-d577c3e58dd3]

psa_interface_thread_fn_call section

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi all, Why does TFM assigns function to psa_interface_thread_fn_call section and then never places them anywhere specific? This way functions assigned to this section are placed outside of the code region which may result in unpredictable behavior.

TF-M release v2.1.0 announcement

by Anton Komlev

Hello, I am happy to announce the new release of TF-M v2.1.0. New major features are: * TF-M aligns the Crypto service to the same PSA Crypto headers used by the Mbed TLS 3.6.0 reference implementation. * Initial support for on-core and off-core clients on Hybrid platforms (A-profile + M-profile or M-profile + M-profile) using solution 1. The functionality is still under active development. * P256-M component is enabled on the BL2 stage for image signature verification based on ECDSA. * MCUboot upgrade to v2.1.0. * Mbed TLS upgrade to v3.6.0. * BL2 now provides a thin PSA Crypto core layer when MCUBOOT_USE_PSA_CRYPTO=ON and can use builtin keys when ECDSA based signature verification is selected with MCUBOOT_SIGNATURE_TYPE="EC-P256". This version is the first, intended for Long Term Support (LTS) after PSA certification and tagging TF-Mv2.1.0-LTS as described in the updated Release Process. Please check the release notes for more information. The release branch changes will be ported to the main branch shortly. Many thanks to everyone for contributing, reviewing and supporting this milestone. Anton and TF-M team.

Wrong Life Cycle values in iatverifier

by Bohdan.Hunko＠infineon.com

Hi I am trying to use iatverifier tool from tf-m-tools repo to verify token and it seems like the values for Security Lificycle in the tool are wrong, because: this spec https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-tschofenig-rats-psa-token-21.html defines them as psa-lifecycle-unknown-type = 0x0000..0x00ff psa-lifecycle-assembly-and-test-type = 0x1000..0x10ff psa-lifecycle-psa-rot-provisioning-type = 0x2000..0x20ff psa-lifecycle-secured-type = 0x3000..0x30ff psa-lifecycle-non-psa-rot-debug-type = 0x4000..0x40ff psa-lifecycle-recoverable-psa-rot-debug-type = 0x5000..0x50ff psa-lifecycle-decommissioned-type = 0x6000..0x60ff Which is consistent with values of tfm_security_lifecycle_t enum in TFM enum tfm_security_lifecycle_t { TFM_SLC_UNKNOWN = 0x0000u, TFM_SLC_ASSEMBLY_AND_TEST = 0x1000u, TFM_SLC_PSA_ROT_PROVISIONING = 0x2000u, TFM_SLC_SECURED = 0x3000u, TFM_SLC_NON_PSA_ROT_DEBUG = 0x4000u, TFM_SLC_RECOVERABLE_PSA_ROT_DEBUG = 0x5000u, TFM_SLC_DECOMMISSIONED = 0x6000u, TFM_SLC_MAX_VALUE = UINT32_MAX, }; But in the tf-m-tools/iat-verifier/iatverifier/psa_iot_profile1_token_claims.py these values are defined differently # Security Lifecycle claims SL_UNKNOWN = 0x1000 SL_PSA_ROT_PROVISIONING = 0x2000 SL_SECURED = 0x3000 SL_NON_PSA_ROT_DEBUG = 0x4000 SL_RECOVERABLE_PSA_ROT_DEBUG = 0x5000 SL_PSA_LIFECYCLE_DECOMMISSIONED = 0x6000 Thus I am getting SL_UNKNOWN instead of TFM_SLC_ASSEMBLY_AND_TEST Is this a known issue? Can this be fixed? Regards, Bohdan Hunko Cypress Semiconductor Ukraine Engineer CSUKR CSS ICW SW FW Mobile: +38099 50 19 714 Bohdan.Hunko(a)infineon.com<mailto:Bohdan.Hunko@infineon.com>

Isolation Level 2/3 IO vector access

by Quach, Brian

Hi, For Isolation Level 2, ARoT cannot access PRoT data. If PRoT partition makes a call to ARoT partition, how are the input/output buffers made accessible to the ARoT partition so a transient copy of the data can be made? I looked at the AN521 implementation of tfm_hal_activate_boundary() and it does add any MPU regions to allow unprivileged access under Isolation Level 2. For Isolation Level 3, I assume the input/output buffers would need to added to a runtime memory asset to allow unprivileged access. Is my understanding correct?

psa_unmap_invec

by Quach, Brian

Hi, I see that tfm_crypto_call_srv() unmaps output vectors if PSA_FRAMEWORK_HAS_MM_IOVEC == 1, but I never see psa_unmap_invec called. This doesn't seem to be required from a functional standpoint but I was wondering if psa_unmap_invec() was purposely skipped to save some unnecessary execution time. Is psa_unmap_invec() only implemented for testing purposes? Regards, Brian Quach SimpleLink MCU Texas Instruments Inc. 12500 TI Blvd, MS F-4000 Dallas, TX 75243 214-479-4076

Re: Use of auto-generation approach for mbedtls/mbed-crypto driver psa_crypto_driver_wrappers..h file

by Antonio De Angelis

Hi Ruchika, thanks for your email and apologies for the late reply but I did not receive this directly so I am replying only because I was pointed to this. TF-M would really welcome a contribution to move those drivers to the autogen framework. This has not been done yet due to lack of bandwidth on TF-M side. Would like to note that the TF-M builtin key loader driver can't be (maybe, just completely) moved to the autogen framework because it patches some internals of Mbed TLS as well (i.e. you would need to patch the jinja template as well). But the CC3XX driver is absolutely something that we would like to move to the autogen framework without any issue. Thanks, Antonio

TF-M support for Mbed TLS 3.6.0-LTS

by Antonio De Angelis

Hi all, Mbed TLS 3.6.0-LTS has been recently released and we are in the process of upgrading the supported version of TF-M as well. I have prepared three patches (for tests, extras and the main repo) available here for review that need to be merged by the time the release freeze happens (likely this week at some point). From this patch onwards, TF-M will align completely to the PSA Crypto headers shipped by the Mbed TLS project, hopefully solving the issues we have had in the past around header mismatches when both Mbed TLS and TF-M Crypto are integrated into the same environment. For this reason the TF-M project will just hold a copy of the headers (in the interface/include/psa and interface/include/mbedtls directories) and won't accept any contribution to them. Please find the patches available for review under the following Gerrit topic: topic:"mbedtls_3_6_0_alignment" · Gerrit Code Review (trustedfirmware.org)<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22mbedtls_3_6_0_alignment%22> Thanks, Antonio

I am adding all the 3 projects (TF-M, mbedTLS and Zephyr) to the mail chain because the issues I discuss below are inter-connected and affect all the three projects. From mbedtls 3.5.0 version, the mbedtls project has migrated to auto-generated psa_crypto_driver_wrappers.h file. https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/psa-driver-exampl… https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/proposed/psa-driv… On TF-M, mbed-crypto, there are 2 patches for the drivers given below which are still hardcoding their changes and not following the above approach. 1. PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVER_TFM_BUILTIN_KEY_LOADER (0001-Add-TF-M-Builtin-Key-Loader-driver-entry-points.patch) 2. PSA_CRYPTO_DRIVER_CC3XX (0005-Hardcode-CC3XX-entry-points.patch) We at NXP, have migrated our psa crypto wrappers to the above approach using auto-generation. We want to maintain same code base for mbedtls for our SDK's, TFM mbed-crypto as well as align mbedTLS fork in Zephyr. We are increasingly finding it difficult to migrate to newer versions of mbedtls because of hardcoding of above drivers. The problem is specially on the Zephyr front, where in the mbedTLS fork in zephyr these patches from tfm are applied by default. I have queries for all the 3 projects listed below : TF-M --> Can you please let us know what are the plans to migrate these 2 drivers in tfm to the auto-generation approach. If these patches can be migrated to make changes in jinja files rather than hardcoding in psa_crypto_driver_wrappers , things would be much easier to integrate. Is somebody already working on it ? Are you open to accept patches for this change ? mbedTLS --> What is the long term strategy from mbedTLS on this auto-generation ? We still have a lot of hard-coding in .jinja file rather than using drivers.json. Would mbedTLS/new PSA crypto repository start accepting patches for psa wrappers from platforms ? Can the patches which TF-M project maintains be merged in the mbedTLS ? Zephyr --> On Zephyr front, what are the plans to align to this auto-generation approach ? Regards, Ruchika

MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_MOVE vs MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_SCRATCH

by Tomasz Jastrzębski

Hi All, I apologize for this probably trivial question, but I cannot find out if and why I should use MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_MOVE or MCUBOOT_SWAP_USING_SCRATCH. Are there any real advantages of move with SCRATCH other than that it requires less flash? - that is, min just one extra sector for all the images vs min one sector per image? Move without scratch seems to provide a better wear balance but still almost all the examples I come across use move with scratch. What am I missing? Kind regards, Tomasz

The recent forums on the East time zone slot are getting quite low attendance, so I am wondering if it still valuable or we want to reschedule it. The potential options I can think of: 1. Keep the current schedule and change nothing. 2. Drop the East time zone slot and leave West time zone slot only for monthly meetings. 3. Reschedule slots for bi-weekly forums on West time zone. 4. Other ideas? Thanks, and please share your opinion in this email thread, Anton

NS Client ID mapping for Hybrid Platform

by Mate Toth-Pal

Hi All, As part of the work we are doing for Hybrid Platforms we prepared a patch that makes changes how the Non-Secure Client IDs are handled. When TF-M is run in Hybrid Platform configuration, It has multiple NS agents active the same time. Each of the NS clients (either running in the NSPE the same v8M CPU as SPM, or on the other end of a Mailbox) can have their own way to assign NS Client IDs to clients. To prevent NS clients impersonate other NS clients that are accessing secure services through a different agent, the patch introduces Client ID mapping. For each NS agent partition a range of valid Client IDs is defined in the manifest yaml file. The SPM checks boot time that the ranges don't overlap. The NS agent partitions must make sure that they map incoming client ID's in a way that the output Client ID is always in the range of valid IDs for that NS agent. If an NS agent has multiple mailboxes, it is possible to assign separate ranges for those mailboxes (the range is associated with the Mailbox IRQ in the manifest yaml). Please find the patch here: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/26947 Any questions or comments are welcome! Best Regards, Mate
