+U-Boot FIT Signature Verification
+=================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+FIT supports hashing of images so that these hashes can be checked on
+loading. This protects against corruption of the image. However it does not
+prevent the substitution of one image for another.
+
+The signature feature allows the hash to be signed with a private key such
+that it can be verified using a public key later. Provided that the private
+key is kept secret and the public key is stored in a non-volatile place,
+any image can be verified in this way.
+
+See verified-boot.txt for more general information on verified boot.
+
+
+Concepts
+--------
+Some familiarity with public key cryptography is assumed in this section.
+
+The procedure for signing is as follows:
+
+ - hash the image
+ - sign the hash with a private key to produce a signature
+ - store the resulting signature in the FIT
+
+The procedure for verification is:
+
+ - read the FIT
+ - obtain the public key
+ - extract the signature from the FIT
+ - hash the image
+ - verify (with the public key) that the extracted signature matches the
+ hash
+
+The signing is generally performed by mkimage, as part of making a firmware
+image for the device. The verification is normally done in U-Boot on the
+device.
+
+
+Algorithms
+----------
+In general any suitable algorithm can be used to sign and verify a hash.
+At present only one class of algorithms is supported: SHA1 hashing with RSA.
+This works by hashing the image to produce a 20--byte hash.
+
+While it is acceptable to bring in cryptography libraries such as openssl
+on the host side (e.g. mkimage), it is not desirable for U-Boot. For the
+run-time verification side, it is important to keep code and data size as
+small as possible.
+
+For this reason the RSA image verification uses pre-processed public keys
+which can be used with a very small amount of code - just some extraction
+of data from the FDT and exponentiation mod n. Code size impact is around
+5KB (to be confirmed in final implementation).
+
+It is relatively straightforward to add new algorithms if required. If
+another RSA variant is needed, then it can be added to the table in
+image-sig.c. If another algorithm is needed (such as DSA) then it can be
+placed alongside rsa.c, and its functions added to the table in image-sig.c
+also.
+
+
+Creating an RSA key and certificate
+-----------------------------------
+To create a new public key, size 2048 bits:
+
+$ openssl genrsa -F4 -out keys/dev.key 2048
+
+To create a certificate for this:
+
+$ openssl req -batch -new -x509 -key keys/dev.key -out keys/dev.crt
+
+If you like you can look at the public key also:
+
+$ openssl rsa -in keys/dev.key -pubout
+
+
+Device Tree Bindings
+--------------------
+The following properties are required in the FIT's signature node(s) to
+allow thes signer to operate. These should be added to the .its file.
+Signature nodes sit at the same level as hash nodes and are called
+signature at 1, signature at 2, etc.
+
+- algo: Algorithm name (e.g. "sha1,rs2048")
+
+- key-name-hint: Name of key to use for signing. The keys will normally be in
+a single directory (parameter -k to mkimage). For a given key <name>, its
+private key is stored in <name>.key and the certificate is stored in
+<name>.crt.
+
+When the image is signed, the following properties are added (mandatory):
+
+- value: The signature data (e.g. 256 bytes for 2048-bit RSA)
+
+When the image is signed, the following properties are optional:
+
+- timestamp: Time when image was signed (standard Unix time_t format)
+
+- signer-name: Name of the signer (e.g. "mkimage")
+
+- signer-version: Version string of the signer (e.g. "2013.01")
+
+- comment: Additional information about the signer or image
+
+
+Example: See sign-images.its for an example image tree source file.
+
+
+Public Key Storage
+------------------
+In order to verify an image that has been signed with a public key we need to
+have a trusted public key. This cannot be stored in the signed image, since
+it would be easy to alter. For this implementation we choose to store the
+public key in U-Boot's control FDT (using CONFIG_OF_CONTROL).
+
+Public keys should be stored as sub-nodes in a /signature node. Required
+properties are:
+
+- algo: Algorithm name (e.g. "sha1,rs2048")
+
+Optional properties are:
+
+- key-name-hint: Name of key used for signing. This is only a hint since it
+is possible for the name to be changed. Verification can proceed by checking
+all available signing keys until one matches.
+
+- required: If present this indicates that tje key must be verified for the
+image / configuration to be considered valid. Only required keys are
+normally verified by the FIT image booting algorithm. Valid values are
+"image" to force verification of all images, and "conf" to force verfication
+of the selected configuration (which then relies on hashs in the images to
+verify those).
+
+Each signing algorithm has its own additional properties.
+
+For RSA the following are mandatory:
+
+- rsa,num-bits: Number of key bits (e.g. 2048)
+- rsa,modulus: Modulus (N) as a big-endian multi-word integer
+- rsa,r-squared: (2^num-bits)^2 as a big-endian multi-word integer
+- rsa,n0-inverse: -1 / modulus[0] mod 2^32
+
+
+Verification
+------------
+FITs are verified when loaded. After the configuration is selected a list
+of required images is produced. If there are 'required' public keys, then
+each image must be verified against those keys. This means that every image
+that might be used by the target needs to be signed with 'required' keys.
+
+This happens automatically as part of a bootm command when FITs are used.
+
+
+Enabling FIT Verification
+-------------------------
+The following CONFIGs must be enabled:
+
+CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE - enable signing and verfication in FITs
+CONFIG_RSA - enable RSA algorithm for signing
+
+
+Testing
+-------
+An easy way to test signing and verfication is to use the test script
+provided in test/vboot/vboot_test.sh. This uses sandbox (a special version
+of U-Boot which runs under Linux) to show the operation of a 'bootm'
+command loading and verifying images.
+
+A sample run is show below:
+
+$ make O=sandbox sandbox_config
+$ make O=sandbox
+$ O=sandbox ./test/vboot/vboot_test.sh
+Simple Verified Boot Test
+=========================
+
+Please see doc/uImage.FIT/verified-boot.txt for more information
+

+Sign images
+Test Verified Boot Run: signed images: OK
+Build FIT with signed configuration
+Test Verified Boot Run: unsigned config: OK

+Test Verified Boot Run: signed config: OK
+
+Test passed
+
+
+Future Work
+-----------
+- Roll-back protection using a TPM (patches are in progress)
+
+
+Possible Future Work
+--------------------
+- Other algorithms besides RSA
+- More sandbox tests for failure modes
+- Passwords for keys/certificates
+- Perhaps implement OAEP
+- Enhance bootm to permit scripted signature verification
