Musca-A platform deprecation announcement

by Anton Komlev

Hello, I would like to propose the deprecation of Musca-A platform. With whole respect to the first HW platform supported TF-M, it became quite old and difficult to access. The current plan is to remove Musca-A from support and TF-M master code in the next release v1.3.0. Please reply to this mail until Feb 16 (in 4 weeks) having any objection for deprecation. Thanks and Best regards Anton Komlev

Arm Firmware Framework for M 1.1 Extensions Alpha specification

by Andrew Thoelke

Hi all, The PSA Firmware Framework for M 1.1 Extensions specification is now published on Arm Developer. This document introduces a set of updates and extensions to the Arm® Platform Security Architecture Firmware Framework (FF-M) specification, designed to build on the capabilities provided in version 1.0. This is an initial ALPHA release in order to enable wider review and feedback on the changes proposed to be included in the v1.1 specification. At this quality level, the changes and interfaces defined are not stable enough for product development. When the proposed extensions are sufficiently stable to be classed as Beta, they will be integrated into the FF-M version 1.1 specification. The 1.1 Extensions document can be downloaded from: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/aes0039/latest Both the 1.0 Specification and the 1.1 Extensions document are linked from the main PSA architecture page: https://developer.arm.com/architectures/security-architectures/platform-sec… Ken and I have presented a number of times at last year's Tech Forums on the proposals in the specification, most recently I provided a summary of the whole document on 10th December 2020. If you have any feedback, please provide it to arm.psa-feedback(a)arm.com, or discuss the proposals here in the TF-M mailing list. Regards, Andrew

Re: [TF-M] [RFC] Static linker scripts for level 1 and 2 isolation

by Ken Liu

I think the link needs to be updated into: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/q/topic:%22static_linker_scripts%22+(sta… This would make the components arrangement more simpler than using a templating. But for level 3 we still have to using a templating as now there is no 'foreach' like functionalities supported in the ld/sct/icf. /Ken -----Original Message----- From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Raef Coles via TF-M Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2021 11:44 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Cc: nd <nd(a)arm.com> Subject: [TF-M] [RFC] Static linker scripts for level 1 and 2 isolation Hi everyone I'd like to request comments on an upcoming change to the linker scripts. Because of some recent changes to the memory layout for level 1 and level 2 isolation, it's now possible to avoid the generation step via tfm_parse_manifest_lists.py for those linker files. This means that the files are static and have been committed into the source tree (as they used to be). We anticipate this change will make integrating TF-M into non-cmake buildsystems easier, as it will avoid one of the places where files need to be generated at build-time. The reason this is an RFC is that it is a potentially breaking change, but only for integrators _not_ using the cmake buildsystem. Currently the linker uses a large variety of pattern matches to organise the partition symbols, with these patterns being defined in the tfm_manifest_list.yaml. After this change, the linker will only look for two patterns: `*app_rot_partition*` and `*psa_rot_partition*` With the intention that the secure partitions will be compiled into a static library, where the filename is (for example) `libtfm_psa_rot_partition_crypto.a`. The cmake buildsystem will be updated to generate these filenames, but other integrators will need to adjust their compilation steps else the linking will fail. Any comments or concerns would be appreciated.

[RFC] Variable naming refinement in manifest tool

by Kevin Peng

Hi all, I made a patch<https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/7817> to refine the variable naming in manifest tooling, specifically the "manifest.manifest" in templates. I'm changing it to "partition.manifest" which should be more accurate and easy understanding. Broadcasting here for anyone has out-of-tree templates. And any comments are welcome. Best Regards, Kevin

Re: [TF-M] TF-M generic threat model

by David Hu

Hi Antonio, Thanks a lot for reviewing the threat model and bringing up this topic. To fully mitigate the threat you mentioned, NSPE shall enforce NS tasks isolation and assign/manage NS identifications. IMHO, It mainly relies on non-secure side implementation. Therefore that threat can be covered in the scope of another threat model against NS side. TF-M is trying to figure out how to assist NSPE to manage and transfer NS identifications. Any suggestion or comment is welcome and helpful! 😊 Best regards, Hu Ziji From: TF-M <tf-m-bounces(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org> On Behalf Of Antonio Ken IANNILLO via TF-M Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2020 7:13 PM To: tf-m(a)lists.trustedfirmware.org Subject: Re: [TF-M] TF-M generic threat model Hi Hu, I read the threat model and I have a question regarding a potential threat. I’m not sure it should belong to this generic threat model or it is already included in one of those presented. The scenario is the following: a NS App X uses a RoT Service that store data private to X. Another NS App Y can fool the SPE to impersonate X and retrieve its private data. For example, X save a value in the secure storage and Y retrieves this value. TF-M prevents this using non secure client identification mechanism. This is a classic confused deputy problem. Can this be considered a threat in this model or should it belong to another model/TOE?
