Secure Monitor Calls

The secure monitor provides two top level handlers of which each provides a range of sub handlers.

Secure Monitor Calls follow the ARM SMC calling convention up to a small change:

Bit number Bit mask Description
31 0x80000000 Set to 0 means Yielding Call; Set to 1 means Fast Call.
30 0x40000000 Set to 0 means SMC32 convention; Set to 1 means SMC64.
29-24 0x3F000000 Service Call ranges.
23-16 0x00FF0000 Must be zero.
15-8 0x0000FF00 Argument type. This is different from the ARM SMC calling convention.
7-0 0x000000FF Function number within the range call type.

If bit n is set in the argument type then parameter Xn is treated as a pointer and the kernel will setup address translation for it in svcCallSecureMonitor.

SMC arguments are passed using registers X0-X7 with X0 always sending the call sub-id and returning the result of the call.

The overall concept here is the following:

  • All key material (AES and RSA) is stored in userspace, but it's encrypted with random AES kek's ("key encryption keys").
  • Each kek is generated as a function of an access key (picked at random).
  • The kek is generated differently depending on the #CryptoUsecase the key is used for.
    • This means: Each key is "locked" to the #CryptoUsecase it was designated for.
    • You can use a key for a different usecase, but you will only get garbage output.
  • After the kek has been generated, it is wrapped with a session-specific key and given back to userspace.
    • This means: Plaintext kek keys never leave TrustZone.
    • Further, this means: Actual AES/RSA keys never leave TrustZone.

Note: The CryptoUsecase_PreparedAesKey represents a RSA wrapped AES key.

GenerateAesKek

Takes an "access key" as input, an #CryptoUsecase.

Returns a session-unique kek for said usecase.

LoadAesKey

Takes a session kek created with #GenerateAesKek, and a wrapped AES key.

The session kek must have been created with CryptoUsecase_Aes.

CryptAes

Encrypts/decrypts using Aes (CTR and CBC).

Key must be set prior using one of the #LoadAesKey, #GenerateSpecificAesKey or #LoadRsaWrappedAesKey commands.

GenerateSpecificAesKey

Todo: This one seems unrelated to #CryptoUsecase.

LoadRsaPrivateKey

Takes a session kek created with #GenerateAesKek, a wrapped AES key, and a wrapped RSA private key.

The session kek must have been created with CryptoUsecase_PreparedAesKey.

DecryptRsaPrivateKey

Takes a session kek created with #GenerateAesKek, a wrapped AES key, and a wrapped RSA private key.

The session kek must have been created with CryptoUsecase_PrivateRsa.

LoadRsaPublicKey

Takes a session kek created with #GenerateAesKek, and a wrapped RSA public key.

The session kek must have been created with CryptoUsecase_PublicRsa.

PublicRsa

Encrypts using Rsa public key.

Key must be set prior using the #LoadRsaPublicKey command.

UnwrapPreparedAesKey

Takes a session kek created with #GenerateAesKek, and a wrapped RSA public key.

Returns a session-unique AES key especially for use in #LoadPreparedAesKey.

The session kek must have been created with CryptoUsecase_PreparedAesKey.

LoadPreparedAesKey

Takes a session-unique AES key from #UnwrapPreparedAesKey.

CpuSuspend

Standard ARM PCSI SMC. Suspends the CPU (CPU0).

The kernel calls this SMC on shutdown with power_state set to 0x0201001B (power level: 0x02==system; power type: 0x01==powerdown; ID: 0x1B).

CpuOff

Standard ARM PCSI SMC. Turns off the CPU (CPU1, CPU2 or CPU3).

CpuOn

Standard ARM PCSI SMC. Turns on the CPU (CPU1, CPU2 or CPU3).

GetConfig

Takes a config_item and returns an associated config_val.

GetRandomBytes

Takes a size and returns rand_bytes.

The kernel limits size to 0x38 (for fitting in return registers).

Panic

Issues a system panic.

The kernel always calls this with unk set to 0xF00.
