ARM® TrustZone® CryptoCell 310 Port

Overview

ARM® TrustZone® CryptoCell 310 is a security subsystem which provides root of trust (RoT) and cryptographic services for a device. You can enable the wolfSSL support for ARM CryptoCell using the #define WOLFSSL_CRYPTOCELL, The CryptoCell APIs are distributed as part of the Nordic nRF5 SDKs here .

Prerequisites

  1. Follow the Nordic website here to download the Nordic nRF5-SDK and software tools.
  2. Install the SEGGER Embedded Studio IDE.
  3. Run a simple blinky application on your Nordic nRF52840 (PCA10056) development board to confirm that your board functions as expected and the communication between your computer and the board works.

Usage

You can start with a wolfcrypt SEGGER embedded studio (ses) example project to integrate the wolfSSL source code. wolfSSL supports a compile-time user configurable options in the IDE/CRYPTOCELL/user_settings.h file.

The IDE/CRYPTOCELL/main.c example application provides a function to run the selected examples at compile time through the following two #defines in user_settings.h. You can define these macro options to disable the test run.

- #undef NO_CRYPT_TEST
- #undef NO_CRYPT_BENCHMARK

Supported features

  • SHA-256
  • AES CBC
  • CryptoCell 310 RNG
  • RSA sign/verify and RSA key gen (2048 bit in PKCSv1.5 padding mode)
  • RSA encrypt/decrypt
  • ECC sign/verify/shared secret
  • ECC key import/export and key gen pairs
  • Hardware RNG
  • RTC for benchmark timing source

Note: All Cryptocell features are not supported. The wolfcrypt RSA API allows import and export of Private/Public keys in DER format. However, this is not possible with key pairs generated with Cryptocell because the importing/exporting Cryptocell keys has not been implemented yet.

Setup

Setting up Nordic SDK with wolfSSL

  1. Download the wolfSSL source code or a zip file from GitHub and place it under your SDK InstallFolder/external/ directory. You can also copy or simlink to the source.
  For example,

  $cd ~/nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96/external
  $git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl.git

  Or, assuming you have already cloned the wolfSSL source code under ~/wolfssl.

  $cd ~/nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96/external
  $ln -s  ~/wolfssl wolfssl
  1. Copy the example project from here into your nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96/examples/crypto/nrf_cc310/ directory.
  $git clone https://github.com/tmael/nRF5_SDK.git
  $cd ~/nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96/examples/crypto/nrf_cc310

  $cp -rf ~/nRF5_SDK/examples/crypto/nrf_cc310/wolfcrypt .
  OR
  $ln -s ~/nRF5_SDK/examples/crypto/nrf_cc310/wolfcrypt wolfcrypt
  1. Launch the SEGGER Embedded Studio IDE
  2. In the main menu, go to File >Open Solutions to open the example solution. Browse to the location containing the wolfcrypt code /examples/crypto/nrf_cc310/wolfcrypt/pca10056/blank/ses/wolfcrypt_pca10056.emProject and choose Open.

Building and Running

In the main menu, go to Build > Rebuild your project, then load and run your image on your nRF52840 target platform. Review the test results on the console output.

wolfcrypt_test()

wolfcrypt_test() prints a message on the target console similar to the following output:
