# RFC 011: Attestation configuration options
|
|
|
|
To allow users more in-depth control over validating attestation statements, a separate, attestation-specific entry in the user's Constellation config file needs to be added.
|
|
|
|
This option should allow for more in-depth configuration of how and what parts of an attestation statement are validated.
|
|
For example, one should be able to set the minimum microcode version of an SEV-SNP attestation statement, that is deemed acceptable,
|
|
or configure acceptable TCB statuses for Intel TDX attestation.
|
|
|
|
## In the user's config
|
|
|
|
A new `attestation` entry in the config file will be added, holding the options used for attestation validation.
|
|
Existing attestation options, like `measurements` and `idKeyDigests` will be moved to this entry.
|
|
|
|
This entry will replace the `attestationVariant` entry.
|
|
|
|
Configuration entries that specify a minimum acceptable version, for example `microcodeVersion` for `azure-sev-snp`,
|
|
may instead use the meta value `latest`.
|
|
This will configure the CLI to use the latest available settings for the given environment.
|
|
The `latest` value will not be static for a given release, but is dynamically updated for all releases,
|
|
as it is independent of out images, and may need changing if a CSP makes changes to their infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
Example configuration for Azure SEV-SNP:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
version: v3
|
|

### AWS SEV-SNP
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
attestation:
|
|
# AWS SEV-SNP attestation.
|
|
awsSEVSNP:
|
|
# Expected TPM measurements.
|
|
measurements:
|
|
15:
|
|
expected: "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
|
|
warnOnly: false
|
|
# Expected launch measurement in SNP report.
|
|
launchMeasurement:
|
|
# LaunchMeasurement enforcement policy. One of {'equal', 'warnOnly'}
|
|
enforcementPolicy: equal
|
|
validValues:
|
|
- "c2c84b9364fc9f0f54b04534768c860c6e0e386ad98b96e8b98eca46ac8971d05c531ba48373f054c880cfd1f4a0a84e"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We want to allow users to disable enforcement.
|
|
This is because AWS may roll out unanounced/unreleased firmwares.
|
|
Such rollouts should not compromise cluster stability.
|
|
|
|
Multiple valid values are required since a cluster may have nodes with different launch-measurements during a firmware rollout.
|
|
|
|
Both values should be appliable through `upgrade apply` to easily react to changing measurements during cluster operation.
|
|
## In our code
|
|
|
|
`/internal/config/` holds default values that will be written to the config file.
|
|
|
|
`atls.Valdidator` initializers should accept a configuration struct which holds information about what values should be verified and how.
|
|
Each Validator should provide default values that can imported by the config.
|
|
|
|
```Go
|
|
attestCfg := sevcfg.New()
|
|
cfg.Measurements = measurements
|
|
validator := sev.NewValidator(attestCfg, log)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A new method `*Config.AttestationConfig()` returns an interface of the attestation configuration.
|
|
The interface should provide a `*Cfg.Variant()` method to retrieve the attestation variant used by the cluster.
|
|
This should work similar to how we retrieve the CSP using `*Config.GetProvider()`.
|
|
|
|
Creation of a Validator should require using a concrete type, so the attestation config interface needs to be cast to the configuration required by the validator.
|
|
|
|
Additional methods to set/retrieve common values of the config interface may be defined, for example to set expected measurements,
|
|
since these are currently used by all attestation variants.
|
|
|
|
If an attestation config specifies the minimum version of a parameter as `latest`,
|
|
that value is substituted with the most recent version of that parameter for the given CSP from our API.
|
|
Substituting values should use a similar signature verification logic for the config's signature as is used by the measurements `*M.FetchAndVerify(...)` flow.
|
|
The value substitution is part of the unmarshalling logic.
|
|
|
|
## Attestation config API
|
|
|
|
Config values are uploaded to S3 and can be accessed via HTTP.
|
|
|
|
The attestation config API uses the same CSP names as [the image API](./009-image-api.md#image-api-endpoints).
|
|
|
|
The following HTTP endpoint is available:
|
|
|
|
- `GET /constellation/v1/attestation/<ATTESTATION_VARIANT>/`
|
|
- `list` returns a sorted list of available configurations for a given attestation variant
|
|
- `<YEAR>-<MONTH>-<DAY>-<HOUR>-<MINUTE>.json`, e.g. `2023-01-23-14-32.json` returns an attestation config for the given date, if it exists. A list of available configs can be queried using the `list` endpoint.
|
|
- `<YEAR>-<MONTH>-<DAY>-<HOUR>-<MINUTE>.json.sig` returns the signature of the attestation config file.
|
|
|
|
While this API should stay compatible with old release, extensive changes to our code may require breaking changes to the format of the attestation config files.
|
|
In this case a new API version will be used to retrieve the config in the updated format, e.g. `/constellation/v2/attestation/<ATTESTATION_VARIANT>/`.
|
|
The old API will still receive updates for at least the next release cycle, during this time this API version will also return a deprecation warning when requesting `list`.
|
|
|
|
### Azure SEV-SNP
|
|
IMPORTANT: Since the current version fetches from the Azure SEV-SNP report are not guaranteed to be globally rolled out at the time of the report, we introduce a minimum age (2 weeks) of the version to consider it a valid latest version.
|
|
This validation is only enforced on the fetcher side! This means that the HTTP endpoints contain all versions, even those that do not yet have the minimum age.
|
|
### AWS
|
|
|
|
AWS provides a way to precalculate launch-measurements for their firmware in SEV-SNP CVMs.
|
|
Since the launch-measurement can change at any point in time we need to serve up-to-date measurements through the attestation config API.
|
|
This will enable users to (a) check which measurements are currently available and manually select any of them.
|
|
It will also enable users to (b) specify a value `latest` for the launch-measurement.
|
|
|
|
#### Object structure
|
|
Each object represents parts of a valid attestation config.
|
|
There are at most three versions of the launch-measurements available in one API object.
|
|
Two versions that represent measurements we have already seen on an EC2 instance.
|
|
One version that represents measurements of a newly released firmware that has not been seen on any machine.
|
|
|
|
To sort the versions within each object we use a key `addedOn`.
|
|
To determine if a measurement has been deployed yet we use a key `firstSeenOn`.
|
|
If `firstSeenOn` is set to a placeholder value the underlying firmware has not been seen yet, but it might be seen by a user (we can't know that).
|
|
|
|
**/list:**
|
|
```
|
|
[
|
|
"2023-01-23-14-32",
|
|
"2023-01-10-14-32"
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**/2023-01-23-14-32.json:**
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"launchMeasurements": [
|
|
{
|
|
"firstSeenOn": "-"
|
|
"value": "v1.3.1",
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"firstSeenOn": "2023-01-14T15:04:05Z07:00"
|
|
"value": "v1.3",
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"firstSeenOn": "2023-01-01T15:04:05Z07:00"
|
|
"value": "v1.2",
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### API behavior
|
|
|
|
We are assuming that AWS will not release a new firmware, without completing the rollout of the currently released version (i.e. there are at most two distinct firmware versions at all times).
|
|
|
|
A pipeline is responsible for updating the API:
|
|
|
|
1. periodically scan [aws/uefi](https://github.com/aws/uefi) for new releases, build them and precalculate measurements `new`.
|
|
2. `firstSeenOn` is set to a placeholder value.
|
|
3. start new AWS EC2 instance and fetch a new SNP report from that machine, including the current measurement `current`.
|
|
4. get the `latest` object from the API and compare the included launch-measurements to `current`. Any modifications are done by creating a new object and adding it to the API.
|
|
- `if !latest.launchMeasurements.Contains(new)`: add `new` with `firstSeenOn` set to `placeholder`. The oldest measurement is removed.
|
|
- `if latest.launchMeasurements.Latest().firstSeenOn == placeholder && latest.launchMeasurements.Latest().value == current.value`: update `firstSeenOn` to current date, remove the oldest measurement and any older (than `Latest()`) measurements with `firstSeenOn==placeholder`.
|
|
- `if latest.launchMeasurements.Latest().firstSeenOn != placeholder && latest.launchMeasurements.Latest().value == current.value`: do nothing.
|
|
- `if !list.Contains(current)`: fail. Alerts us of unreleased/unplanned firmware updates.
|
|
5. If the new object from step 4 is different than `latest`, push it to the API.
|
|
|
|
The pipelines should run ~ daily.
|
|
|
|
Ideally AWS will announce firmware changes in the future as part of maintenance announcements.
|
|
This announcement should include a timeframe when the maintenance will start and when all machines will have the new firmware.
|
|
If AWS starts doing this, the update logic in step 1-4. will change.
