This tutorial is an add-on to [[Tutorial A5 Breaking AES-256 Bootloader]]. It continues working on the same firmware, showing how to obtain the hidden IV and signature in the bootloader. '''It is not possible to do this bonus tutorial without first completing the regular tutorial''', so please finish Tutorial A5 first.

= Exploring the Bootloader =
 
In this tutorial, we have the luxury of seeing the source code of the bootloader. This is generally not something we would have access to in the real world, so we'll try not to use it to cheat. (Peeking at <code>supersecret.h</code> counts as cheating.) Instead, we'll use the source to help us identify important parts of the power traces.
 
  
== Bootloader Source Code ==
+
== XMEGA Target ==
Inside the bootloader's main loop, it does three tasks that we're interested in:
+
* it decrypts the incoming ciphertext;
+
* it applies the IV to the decryption's result; and
+
* it checks for the signature in the resulting plaintext.
+
This snippet from <code>bootloader.c</code> shows all three of these tasks:
+
  
<pre>
+
See the following for using:
// Continue with decryption
+
* ChipWhisperer-Lite Classic (XMEGA)
trigger_high();               
+
* ChipWhisperer-Lite Capture + XMEGA Target on UFO Board (including NAE-SCAPACK-L1/L2 users)
aes256_decrypt_ecb(&ctx, tmp32);
+
* ChipWhisperer-Pro + XMEGA Target on UFO Board
trigger_low();
+
           
+
// Apply IV (first 16 bytes)
+
for (i = 0; i < 16; i++){
+
    tmp32[i] ^= iv[i];
+
}
+
  
//Save IV for next time from original ciphertext               
+
https://chipwhisperer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/pa_multi_1-openadc-cwlitexmega.html#tutorial-pa-multi-1-openadc-cwlitexmega
for (i = 0; i < 16; i++){
+
    iv[i] = tmp32[i+16];
+
}
+
  
// Tell the user that the CRC check was okay
+
== ChipWhisperer-Lite ARM / STM32F3 Target ==
putch(COMM_OK);
+
putch(COMM_OK);
+
  
//Check the signature
+
See the following for using:
if ((tmp32[0] == SIGNATURE1) &&
+
* ChipWhisperer-Lite 32-bit (STM32F3 Target)
  (tmp32[1] == SIGNATURE2) &&
+
* ChipWhisperer-Lite Capture + STM32F3 Target on UFO Board (including NAE-SCAPACK-L1/L2 users)
  (tmp32[2] == SIGNATURE3) &&
+
* ChipWhisperer-Pro + STM32F3 Target on UFO Board
  (tmp32[3] == SIGNATURE4)){
+
 
+
  // Delay to emulate a write to flash memory
+
  _delay_ms(1);
+
+
</pre>
+
This gives us a pretty good idea of how the microcontroller is going to do its job. However, we can go one step further and find the exact assembly code that the target will execute. If you have Atmel Studio and its toolchain on your computer, you can get the assembly file from the command line with
+
<pre>
+
avr-objdump -m avr -D bootloader.hex > disassembly.txt
+
</pre>
+
This will convert the hex file into assembly code, making it more human-readable. The important part of this assembly code is:

+
We'll use both of the source files throughout the tutorial.
+
 
+
== Power Traces ==
+
After the bootloader is finished the decryption process, it executes a couple of distinct pieces of code:
+
* To apply the IV, it uses an XOR operation;
+
* To store the new IV, it copies the previous ciphertext into the IV array;
+
* It sends two bytes on the serial port;
+
* It checks the bytes of the signature one by one.
+
We should be able to recognize these four parts of the code in the power traces. Let's modify our capture routine to find them.
+
 
+
Re-run the capture script and change a few settings:
+
<ol>
+
<li> We'd like to skip over all of the decryption process. The source code around this point is:
+
<pre>
+
trigger_high();
+
aes256_decrypt_ecb(&ctx, tmp32); /* encrypting the data block */
+
trigger_low();
+
</pre>
+
so we can skip straight over the AES-256 function by triggering on a falling edge instead of a rising edge. Change this in the scope settings.
+
<li> We don't need as many samples now. Change the number of samples to 3000.
+
<li> If we decrypt multiple ciphertexts in a row, only the first one will use the secret IV - all of the others will use the previous ciphertext instead. To avoid this, we'll have to automatically reset the board.
+
<ol>
+
<li> In the ''General Settings'' tab, change the Auxiliary Module to ''Reset AVR/XMEGA via CW-Lite''.
+
<li> In the ''Aux Settings'' tab, change both delays to around 100 ms.
+
</ol>
+
<li> Capture one trace and make sure that everything works.
+
</ol>
+
If everything worked out, you should be able to see all of the code's features:

Latest revision as of 05:36, 29 July 2019

This tutorial has been updated for ChipWhisperer 5 release. If you are using 4.x.x or 3.x.x see the "V4" or "V3" link in the sidebar.

A5: Breaking AES-256 Bootloader
Target Architecture XMEGA/Arm
Hardware Crypto No
Software Release V3 / V4 / V5

This tutorial will introduce you to measuring the power consumption of a device under attack. It will demonstrate how you can view the difference between assembly instructions. In ChipWhisperer 5 Release, the software documentation is now held outside the wiki. See links below.

To see background on the tutorials see the Tutorial Introduction on ReadTheDocs, which explains what the links below mean. These wiki pages (that you are reading right now) only hold the hardware setup required, and you have to run the Tutorial via the Jupyter notebook itself. The links below take you to the expected Jupyter output from each tutorial, so you can compare your results to the expected/known-good results.

Running the tutorial uses the referenced Jupyter notebook file.
