Hi, sjg,
I'm YuLang, a software engineer in Hesai Tech. I really appreciate your
contribution to secure boot. But I'm confused with your explanation about
signature with FIT image in "u-boot/doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt". As
following，
/ {
images {
kernel@1 {
data = <data for kernel1>
hash@1 {
algo = "sha1";
value = <...kernel hash 1...>
};
};
kernel@2 {
data = <data for kernel2>
hash@1 {
algo = "sha1";
value = <...kernel hash 2...>
};
};
fdt@1 {
data = <data for fdt1>;
hash@1 {
algo = "sha1";
value = <...fdt hash 1...>
};
};
fdt@2 {
data = <data for fdt2>;
hash@1 {
algo = "sha1";
value = <...fdt hash 2...>
};
};
};
configurations {
default = "conf@1";
conf@1 {
kernel = "kernel@1";
fdt = "fdt@1";
signature@1 {
algo = "sha1,rsa2048";
value = <...conf 1 signature...>;
};
};
conf@2 {
kernel = "kernel@2";
fdt = "fdt@2";
signature@1 {
algo = "sha1,rsa2048";
value = <...conf 1 signature...>;
};
};
};
};
You can see that we have added hashes for all images (since they are no
longer signed), and a signature to each configuration. In the above example,
mkimage will sign configurations/conf@1, the kernel and fdt that are
pointed to by the configuration (/images/kernel@1, /images/kernel@1/hash@1,
/images/fdt@1, /images/fdt@1/hash@1) and the root structure of the image
(so that it isn't possible to add or remove root nodes). The signature is
written into /configurations/conf@1/signature@1/value. It can easily be
verified later even if the FIT has been signed with other keys in the
meantime.
But what a signature to each configuration really means ?
1. rsa2048-privatekey(sha1(kernel data + fdt data))
2. rsa2048-privatekey(sha1(kernel hash+kernel hash))
3....
Could you give a clear explanation? Many thanks
Best wishes!
