HAB verify boot scripts and other binary data

Is it possible to use the HAB interface to verify signature of non-image data such as boot-script?  I noticed this being referenced in the Digi board ccimx6sbc UBoot code to check signature of a boot-script using HAB interface before running it.  I'd also like to verify other binary data that I would sign using same PKI tree for images.

Seems like all I would need to do would be to perform all the padding and add a fake IVT data region before signing it using the CST tool (similar to how a kernel image gets signed).  The IVT can be fake since I'm not expecting to execute as an image (calling the HAB ROM interface directly, hab_rvt::authenticate_image()).

Thanks.

Hello,

 

  Yes, it is possible

 

  Look at section 3.4 (Authenticate Image) of "HAB4_API.pdf" in documentation

of CST 3.1.0 package.

Have a great day,
