Encrypt / Decrypt data from uboot using CAAM

jdepedro — Thu, 12 May 2016 14:38:52 GMT

I would like to use the CAAM on the i.MX6Q to encrypt/decrypt data from uboot, using any available encryption protocol (I understand you can use AES 128-bit, 192-bit or 256-bit) and the OTPMK as key. That is, like the dek_blob is done. How can that be done?

I have seen some constructor for job descriptors available in drivers/crypto/fsl/jobdesc.c. I assume it would be necessary to create new job descriptor constructors for AES encryption and AES decryption which would use a src pointer, dst pointer and uint32_t data length.

However ensambling a job descriptor seems complicated and error prone. Is there any examples about how to do that?

Hi jdepedro

please look at below links

Build the key blob generation utility with the Platform SDK

Generate the Encrypted U-boot v2014.04

DEK blob generator command for u-boot-imx

Hi igorpadykov,

Thanks for those post, I have already read them, though. What I am looking for, is a way to encrypt / decrypt data from uboot using the OTPMK. dek blobing does not work for me because

* It is not a encryption (it generates a key, encrypt that key with the OTPKM, and encrypt the DEK with the generated key)

* It only works for some data lenghts

* It is not reversible on uboot (it is reversible in theory, but it is not implemented, right?)

What I want is to use the CAAM from uboot to encrypt/decrypt any data using AES-128/192 or 256 and the OTPMK as key. Is that possibe? How to do that?

unfortunately caam is not offically supported in uboot.

It may be suggested to use NXP Professional Services:

Hi Jose,

Did you consider to use the black/red key blob from external memory? There is an implementation but resides in the kernel.

Do you have any experience with that?

Hi, any update on this?

Can we use CAAM via uboot to use OTPMK to generate keys to encrypt/decrypt images?

Thanks
