TSEC

TSEC (Tegra Security Co-processor) is a dedicated unit powered by a NVIDIA Falcon microprocessor with crypto extensions.

Driver

A host driver for communicating with the TSEC is mapped to physical address 0x54500000 with a total size of 0x40000 bytes and exposes several registers.

Registers

Registers from 0x54500000 to 0x54501000 are used to configure the host interface (HOST1X).

Registers from 0x54501000 to 0x54502000 are a MMIO window for communicating with the Falcon microprocessor. From this range, the subset of registers from 0x54501400 to 0x54501FE8 are specific to the TSEC and are subdivided into:

• 0x54501400 to 0x54501500: SCP (Secure Crypto Processor?).
• 0x54501500 to 0x54501600: TRNG (True Random Number Generator).
• 0x54501600 to 0x54501700: TFBIF (Tegra Framebuffer Interface).
• 0x54501700 to 0x54501800: DMA.
• 0x54501800 to 0x54501900: TEGRA (miscellaneous interfaces).

Authenticated Mode

Entry

From non-secure mode, upon jumping to a page marked as secret, a secret fault occurs. This causes the CPU to verify the region specified in $cauth against the MAC loaded in $c6. If the comparison is successful, the valid bit (bit0) is set on all pages in the $cauth region, and $pc is set to the base of the $cauth region. If the comparsion fails, the CPU is halted.

Exit

The CPU automatically goes back to non-secure mode when returning back into non-secret pages. When this happens, the valid bit (bit0) in the TLB flags is cleared for all secret pages.

Crypto processing

Part of the information here (which hasn't made it into envytools documentation yet) was shared by mwk from reverse engineering falcon processors over the years.

Register ACLs

Falcon tracks permission metadata about each crypto reg. Permissions include read/write ability per execution mode, as well as ability to use the reg for encrypt/decrypt, among other permissions. Permissions are propagated when registers are referenced by instructions (e.g. moving a value from read-protected $cX to $cY will result in $cY also being read-protected).

cauth

$cauth is a special purpose register in the CPU.

Bits	Description

8-15	Unused

csigauth

00000000: f5 3c XY d8 csigauth $cY $cX

This instruction takes 2 crypto registers as operands and is automatically executed when jumping to a code region previously uploaded as secret.

Under certain circumstances, it is possible to observe this instruction being briefly written to TSEC_SCP_INSN_STAT as "csigauth $c4 $c6" while the opcodes in TSEC_SCP_AES_STAT are set to "cxsin" and "csigauth", respectively. Also, via TSEC_SCP_SEQ0_STAT it can be observed that a 3-sized macro sequence is loaded into cs0 during a secure mode transition.

csigclr

00000000: f5 3c 00 e0 csigclr

This instruction takes no operands and appears to clear the saved cauth signature used by the csigenc instruction.

cchmod

00000000: f5 3c XY a8 cchmod $cY 0X or 00000000: f5 3c XY a9 cchmod $cY 1X

This instruction takes a crypto register and a 5 bit immediate value. It appears to set the crypto registers' ACL bits as follows:

Bits	Description
0	Allow register to be used as key in NS or LS mode
1	Allow register to be used as key in HS mode
2	Set register as readable in NS or LS mode
3	Set register as readable in HS mode
4	Set register as writable in NS or LS mode

crng

00000000: f5 3c 0X 90 crng $cX

This instruction initializes a crypto register with random data.

Executing this instruction only succeeds if the TRNG is enabled for the SCP, which requires taking the following steps:

• Write 0x7FFF to TSEC_TRNG_CLKDIV.
• Write 0x3FF0000 to TSEC_TRNG_UNK0.
• Write 0xFF00 to TSEC_TRNG_UNK7.
• Write 0x1000 to TSEC_SCP_CTL_TRNG.

cxset

cxset instruction provides a way to change behavior of a variable amount of successively executed DMA-related instructions.

for example: 000000de: f4 3c 02 cxset 0x2

can be read as: dma_override(type=crypto_reg, count=2)

The argument to cxset specifies the type of behavior change in the top 3 bits, and the number of DMA-related instructions the effect lasts for in the lower 5 bits.

Bits	Description
0-4	Number of instructions it is valid for (0x1f is a special value meaning infinitely many instructions -- until overriden by another cxset)
5	Crypto destination/source select (0=crypto register, 1=crypto stream)
6	External memory override (0=Disabled, 1=Enabled)
7	Internal memory select (0=DMEM, 1=IMEM)

DMA-Related Instructions

At least the following instructions may have changed behavior, and count against the cxset "count" argument: xdwait, xdst, xdld.

For example, if override type=0b000, then the "length" argument to xdst is instead treated as the index of the target $cX register.

Secrets

Falcon's Authenticated Mode has access to 64 128-bit keys which are burned at factory. These keys can be loaded by using the $csecret instruction which takes the target crypto register and the key index as arguments.
