Summary
=======
under the current implementation of secure boot merged in v2020.07-rc1,
UEFI subsystem verifies a signature using certificates that are coming
from signature dtabase, i.e. "db."
In real world, an image is signed by a signer, but its certificate
can also be signed by another CA and, if it is not self-signed, the latter
will be signed by yet another CA and so on. This is called a certificate
chain and any certificates in the middle of chain is called "intermediate"
certificates.
With this patch set applied on top of the current implementation,
UEFI subsystem will get capable of verifying intermediate certificates
being contained in a signature and authenticating an image in a chain
of trusted certificates.
Please note that we don't support RFC6131, or timestamp protocol, and so
if any certificate in the chain is found in the revocation list, i.e. dbx,
the image will unconditionally be disqualified from being loaded or run.
Patch structure
===============
Patch#1-#6: preparatory patches
Patch#7: main part
Patch#8: pytest
Prerequisite
============
Require my patch set[1]. Those two patch sets are mutually independent
in terms of functionality, but have dependencies due to code overlap.
You can fetch the whole workable repository from here[2].
One patch[3] to sbsigntool must also be applied so that we wil be able
to sign an image with intermediate certificates. It is required here for
testing.
Test
====
- The added new pytest (test_signed_intca.py) passed locally.
- Travis CI passed, except the new pytest added here due to a new
feature in sbsigntool as mentioned above.
Misc
====
- checkpatch.pl makes several warnings against pkcs7_verify.c, but
we will ignore them as it is a file imported from linux code.
