OvmfPkg/README: add HTTPS Boot
Add the new section for HTTPS Boot. Changes in v2: - Fixed the typos - Added the command for p11-kit based on Laszlo's suggestion - Also added the efisiglist command - Elaborated how to create the customized cipher suite list - Mentioned the changes in QEMU in the future based on Laszlo's suggestion Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Cc: Jordan Justen <jordan.l.justen@intel.com> Cc: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com> Contributed-under: TianoCore Contribution Agreement 1.1 Signed-off-by: Gary Lin <glin@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com> [lersek@redhat.com: trivial typo fixes; update-crypto-policies URL fix]

=== HTTPS Boot ===
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
HTTPS Boot is an alternative solution to PXE. It replaces the tftp server
|
||||||
|
with a HTTPS server so the firmware can download the images through a trusted
|
||||||
|
and encrypted connection.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* To enable HTTPS Boot, you have to build OVMF with -D HTTP_BOOT_ENABLE and
|
||||||
|
-D TLS_ENABLE. The former brings in the HTTP stack from NetworkPkg while
|
||||||
|
the latter enables TLS support in both NetworkPkg and CryptoPkg.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* By default, there is no trusted certificate. The user has to import the
|
||||||
|
certificates either manually with "Tls Auth Configuration" utility in the
|
||||||
|
firmware UI or through the fw_cfg entry, etc/edk2/https/cacerts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
-fw_cfg name=etc/edk2/https/cacerts,file=<certdb>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The blob for etc/edk2/https/cacerts has to be in the format of Signature
|
||||||
|
Database(*1). You can use p11-kit(*2) or efisiglit(*3) to create the
|
||||||
|
certificate list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to create the certificate list based on the CA certificates
|
||||||
|
in your local host, p11-kit will be a good choice. Here is the command to
|
||||||
|
create the list:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
p11-kit extract --format=edk2-cacerts --filter=ca-anchors \
|
||||||
|
--overwrite --purpose=server-auth <certdb>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you only want to import one certificate, efisiglist is the tool for you:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
efisiglist -a <cert file> -o <certdb>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please note that the certificate has to be in the DER format.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also append a certificate to the existing list with the following
|
||||||
|
command:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
efisiglist -i <old certdb> -a <cert file> -o <new certdb>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NOTE: You may need the patch to make efisiglist generate the correct header.
|
||||||
|
(https://github.com/rhboot/pesign/pull/40)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Besides the trusted certificates, it's also possible to configure the trusted
|
||||||
|
cipher suites for HTTPS through another fw_cfg entry: etc/edk2/https/ciphers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
-fw_cfg name=etc/edk2/https/ciphers,file=<cipher suites>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OVMF expects a binary UINT16 array which comprises the cipher suites HEX
|
||||||
|
IDs(*4). If the cipher suite list is given, OVMF will choose the cipher
|
||||||
|
suite from the intersection of the given list and the built-in cipher
|
||||||
|
suites. Otherwise, OVMF just chooses whatever proper cipher suites from the
|
||||||
|
built-in ones.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While the tool(*5) to create the cipher suite array is still under
|
||||||
|
development, the array can be generated with the following script:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
export LC_ALL=C
|
||||||
|
openssl ciphers -V \
|
||||||
|
| sed -r -n \
|
||||||
|
-e 's/^ *0x([0-9A-F]{2}),0x([0-9A-F]{2}) - .*$/\\\\x\1 \\\\x\2/p' \
|
||||||
|
| xargs -r -- printf -- '%b' > ciphers.bin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This script creates ciphers.bin that contains all the cipher suite IDs
|
||||||
|
supported by openssl according to the local host configuration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may want to enable only a limited set of cipher suites. Then, you
|
||||||
|
should check the validity of your list first:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
openssl ciphers -V <cipher list>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If all the cipher suites in your list map to the proper HEX IDs, go ahead
|
||||||
|
to modify the script and execute it:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
export LC_ALL=C
|
||||||
|
openssl ciphers -V <cipher list> \
|
||||||
|
| sed -r -n \
|
||||||
|
-e 's/^ *0x([0-9A-F]{2}),0x([0-9A-F]{2}) - .*$/\\\\x\1 \\\\x\2/p' \
|
||||||
|
| xargs -r -- printf -- '%b' > ciphers.bin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* In the future (after release 2.12), QEMU should populate both above fw_cfg
|
||||||
|
files automatically from the local host configuration, and enable the user
|
||||||
|
to override either with dedicated options or properties.
