=====

|
|
Firmware binary signing is for audio DSP is mandatory on Intel products from
|
|
Skylake onwards. i.e. no code signing on Baytrail, Cherrytrail, Braswell,
|
|
Haswell and Broadwell but mandatory on Skylake, Kabylake, Apollolake,
|
|
Cannonlake and Icelake.
|
|
|
|
rimage can now sign firmware binaries for Apollolake,
|
|
Cannonlake and Icelake targets.
|
|
This is done automatically as part of the "make bin" part of the build.

Key Pairs
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
The key included here is the Intel OTC (Opensource Technology Center) community
|
|
development key. It can be freely used by anyone and is intended for reference
|
|
board makers and firmware developers.
|
|
|
|
** This key is NOT intended for locking down firmware on end user production
|
|
devices since the "private" key has been published here. A new key pair must
|
|
be genrated for securing firmware ! **
|
|
|
|
RSA Private and Public keys are generated as follows :-
|
|
|
|
openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private_key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048
|
|
openssl rsa -pubout -in private_key.pem -out public_key.pem
|
|
|
|
The public key needs to be programmed into the OEM Key manifest (cavsManifest0)
|
|
within the BIOS in order to verify code signed with the private key.
|
|
Intel supplies tools to board makers to stitch the public key into the BIOS.
|
|
|
|
The private key is used by rimage to sign the SOF binary. It should be kept
|
|
secret and secure for production signing. |
