Detailed keys purpose

Use cases and examples for the keys with above configuration.

Slot 0

Private key to sign with the device.

This key never leaves the chip so whomever uses this key has the chip.

It doesn’t require authentication, so everybody can use it as long as they have the chip.

But it requires random nonce before use, so a replay attack is not possible.

Configuration code:

config_data->SlotConfig[slot] = 
    ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_EXT_SIG_MASK      // External signatures of arbitrary messages are enabled.
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_INT_SIG_MASK      // Internal signatures of messages generated by GenDig or GenKey are enabled.
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_ECDH_MASK         // ECDH operation is permitted for this key.
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_IS_SECRET_MASK    // The contents of this slot are secret
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_GEN_KEY_MASK      // GenKey may be used to write random keys into this slot.
  ;

config_data->KeyConfig[slot] = 
    ATCA_KEY_CONFIG_PRIVATE_MASK       // The key slot contains an ECC private key
  | ATCA_KEY_CONFIG_PUB_INFO_MASK      // The public version of this key can always be generated.
  | ATCA_KEY_CONFIG_KEY_TYPE(ATCA_P256_KEY_TYPE)        // 4: P256 NIST ECC key / 6: AES-128 key / 7: Not an ECC key
  | ATCA_KEY_CONFIG_LOCKABLE_MASK      // Slot can be individually locked using the Lock command.
  | ATCA_KEY_CONFIG_REQ_RANDOM_MASK    // A random nonce is required.
  ;

Slot 1

Symmetric AES key for encription/decryption of external input data.

It is readable and writable if you know key 7.

It doesn’t require authentication, so everybody can use it as long as they have the chip.

AES is used only with external input, so a random nonce is not required.

Example:

$ ./aes_encrypt 1 00000000000000000000000000000000
ec85f660317fc53302b54d1fa7dab892

Configuration code:

config_data->SlotConfig[slot] = 
    ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_READKEY(7)        // Use this KeyID to encrypt data read from this slot. 0 only for CheckMac/Copy
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_ENC_READ_MASK     // Reads from this slot will be encrypted. IsSecret must also be set
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_IS_SECRET_MASK    // The contents of this slot are secret
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_WRITE_KEY(7)      // Use this key to validate and encrypt data written to this slot
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_WRITE_CONFIG(0b0111)   // Encrypted write, derive key from parent
  ;

config_data->KeyConfig[slot] = 
    ATCA_KEY_CONFIG_KEY_TYPE(ATCA_AES_KEY_TYPE) // Key type
  | ATCA_KEY_CONFIG_LOCKABLE_MASK      // Slot can be individually locked using the Lock command.
  ;

Like key 1 but with limited uses.

Counter 0 is increased every time this key is used.

Configuration code:

config_data->SlotConfig[slot] = 
    ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_READKEY(7)        // Use this KeyID to encrypt data read from this slot. 0 only for CheckMac/Copy
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_ENC_READ_MASK     // Reads from this slot will be encrypted. IsSecret must also be set
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_LIMITED_USE_MASK  // The key stored in the slot is Limited Use.
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_IS_SECRET_MASK    // The contents of this slot are secret
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_WRITE_KEY(7)      // Use this key to validate and encrypt data written to this slot
  | ATCA_SLOT_CONFIG_WRITE_CONFIG(0b0111)   // Encrypted write, derive key from parent
  ;

config_data->KeyConfig[slot] = 
    ATCA_KEY_CONFIG_KEY_TYPE(ATCA_AES_KEY_TYPE)        // 4: P256 NIST ECC key / 6: AES-128 key / 7: Not an ECC key
  | ATCA_KEY_CONFIG_LOCKABLE_MASK      // Slot can be individually locked using the Lock command.
  ;

  ;

Slot 7

Shared secret for I/O. This key can be used to read and write any other key that requires encrypted read or write (except key 12).

Notice this does not provide any security while the slot is unlocked, because this key is writable in cleartext.

Ex. set SHA256("password") as the new key:

./write_slot 7 5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8

Slot 9

Public key. You can use it to store slot 0’s public part.

Can be clear read and write.

Configuration code:

Slot 10

TBD

Slot 11

TBD

Slot 12

Secret AES. This is a secret key, unkown.

It can be created or rotated using the DeriveKey command. But you cannot directly read or write it.

You must authenticate via key 13 to use this key.

Ex.: key 13 is the sha256 of password.

$ echo -n "password" | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f 1
5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8

$ ./authorize.sh 13 5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8
Ok

$ ./state
TempKey.NoMacFlag:  0
TempKey.GenKeyData: 0
TempKey.GenDigData: 0
TempKey.SourceFlag: 0
TempKey.KeyID:      0
TempKey.Valid:      0
Auth Key ID:        13
Auth Valid:         1
SRAM RNG:           0
EEPROM RNG:         0

For some reason, authorization does not work as expected for AES keys. So you can’t use this key to directly encrypt/decrypt.

However, you still can use this key to derive a symmetric key into TempKey.

Once authorized, you can load TempKey with a known value (like an IV), then use GenDig with this key to derive the AES encryption key:

$ ./load_tempkey 00000000000000000000000000000000
Ok

$ ./gendig 12
Ok

After this operation, you are no authorized anymore. TempTey is valid, derived from key 12 and a know value.

$ ./state
TempKey.NoMacFlag:  1
TempKey.GenKeyData: 0
TempKey.GenDigData: 1
TempKey.SourceFlag: 1
TempKey.KeyID:      12
TempKey.Valid:      1
Auth Key ID:        0
Auth Valid:         0
SRAM RNG:           0
EEPROM RNG:         0

Now you can encrypt/decrypt with the derived key:

$ ./aes_encrypt TEMPKEY 00000000000000000000000000000000
75e4ca11617b83e442d28fbcdb9210a4

This method is useful to encrypt multiple blocks with a limited use key. Because it only count as one use (the gendig command).

Like using AES-128-CBC mode:

$ cat LICENSE | ./cbc_encrypt.sh TEMPKEY > LICENSE.aes

To decrypt it:

$ cat LICENSE.aes | ./cbc_encrypt.sh TEMPKEY

Slot 13

Secret to use key 12.

A nonce is always required.

To prevent brute force attacks, you must also set limited uses for this key.

You can change this key only if you know its current value. Ex. changing from all zeros to the sha256 of password.

$ ./write_enc 13 5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8 \

Slot 14

TBD

Slot 15

Data. Public read, encrypt write.

Since you need to know key 7 to write it, you can use it to store public data that the user can read but cannot modify.

$ ./read_slot 15 | xxd -r -p
To write this, you need key 7.

$ ./write_enc 15 546f20777269746520746869732c20796f75206e656564206b657920372e0000 \

Customize

Edit device_cfg.c for your device. Then edit atca_config.h to enable proper things.

Build

Compile the library

Create a directory:

mkdir ~/atca && cd ~/atca

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/electronicayciencia/ATECC608-Tools.git

Enter the main directory and update the library:

cd ATECC608-Tools
git submodule update --init --recursive

Build the library with your preferred options:

cd cryptoauthlib
cmake -DATCA_PKCS11:STRING=ON -DATCA_HAL_I2C=ON .
make

The file cryptoauthlib/lib/libcryptoauth.so is created.

Applications

Run make to build all the binaries.

cd ..
make

Run

Export the library path:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/atca/cryptoauthlib/lib

Optionally, edit ~/.bashrc to include that line.

To inspect I2C messages, set ATCA_TRACE env. var.:

export ATCA_TRACE=1
