Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) Remote Attestation End-to-End Sample for EPID Attestations

Introduction

This code sample demonstrates the procedures that must be followed when performing Remote Attestation for an Intel SGX enclave when using EPID attestations. The code sample includes both a sample ISV (independent software vendor) client (and its enclave) and ISV remote attestation server. It has been tested on the following platforms:

Linux

  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • Centos* 7.4

Microsoft Windows*

  • Windows 10 64-bit

For complete information on remote attestation, see the white paper on Intel's Developer Zone.

v3.1

Release on 6/25/2020.

  • Default to version 4 of the Attestation API.

  • Remove references to the PSE in Linux builds.

License

Except as otherwise noted, source code is made available under the Intel Sample Source Code license. See the LICENSE file for terms.

Building the Sample

For simplicity, the client and server are packaged and built together. In a real-world environment, these would be separate builds.

The service provider's remote attestation server does not require Intel SGX hardware or software to run. The server in this code sample requires the Intel SGX SDK header files in order to simplify the code and build process, but this is not strictly necessary.

Linux

Prerequisites

$ openssl version
  • If necessary, download the source for the latest release of OpenSSL 1.1.0, then build and install it into a non-system directory such as /opt (note that both --prefix and --openssldir should be set when building OpenSSL 1.1.0). For example:
$ wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.0i.tar.gz
$ tar xf openssl-1.1.0i.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-1.1.0i
$ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl/1.1.0i --openssldir=/opt/openssl/1.1.0i
$ make
$ sudo make install

Configure and compile

First, prepare the build system (GNU* automake and autoconf) by running bootstrap, and then configure the software package using the configure command. You'll need to specify the location of OpenSSL 1.1.0. See the build notes section for additional options to configure.

$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --with-openssldir=/opt/openssl/1.1.0i
$ make

As this is a code sample and not a production application, 'make install' is not implemented.

Both make clean and make distclean are supported.

Linux build notes

User agents

The service provider sample supports two user agents on Linux for communicating with the Intel Attestation Server (IAS): libcurl and wget.

The wget agent runs wget via execvp(2) to GET and POST data to IAS.

The libcurl agent does not depend on external commands. Pre-packaged distributions of libcurl are typically built against OpenSSL, GnuTLS, or NSS.

libcurl may be built against your local distribution's OpenSSL package (which is 1.0.x for the supported OS's). If so, you will receive a warning message at link time which can be ignored. Only libcrypto is required from the OpenSSL 1.1.0 build and it will not conflict with libcurl's OpenSSL dependencies.

Configuration options

You can disable libcurl at build time by supplying --disable-agent-libcurl to configure, in which case the server will fall back to using wget as its agent.

The configure script will attempt to auto-detect your Intel SGX SDK directory, but if for some reason it can't find it, then you should supply the path via --with-sgxsdk=PATH.

You can build the client for simulation mode using --enable-sgx-simulation. Note that Remote Attestation will fail for clients running in simulation mode, as this mode has no hardware protection.

Windows

Prerequisites

Configure and Compile

  • Open the Solution file remote-attestation-sample.sln in the vs/ subdirectory.

  • Set the configuration to "Debug" and the platform to "x64".

  • Configure the client build

    • Open the client project properties

    • Navigate to "C/C++ -> General" and edit "Additional Include Directories" to include your OpenSSL include path. This is pre-set to C:\OpenSSL-Win64\include which is the default location for the recommended OpenSSL package for Windows.

    • Navigate to "Linker -> General" and edit "Additional Library Directories" to C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib

  • Configure the server build

    • Open the sp project properties

    • Navigate to "Linker -> Additional Library Directories" and edit "Additional Library Directories" to include your OpenSSL library path. This is pre-set to C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib\VC\ which is the default install location.

  • Build the Solution. The binaries will be written to vs\x64\Debug

Running the Sample (Quick Start Guide)

By default, the server listens on port 7777 and the client connects to localhost. The server will make use of system proxy settings when contacting IAS.

The client and server use a very simplistic network protocol with no error handling and no encryption. Messages are sent using base 16 encoding (printed hex strings) for easy reading and interpretation. The intent here is to demonstrate the RA procedures and the modified Sigma protocol, not model a real-world application. It's assumed that a real ISV would integrate RA flows into their existing service infrastructure (e.g. a REST API implemented over a TLS session).

Enclave Verification Policy

The build process automatically generates a file named policy on Linux (policy.cmd on Windows) which contains the enclave verification policy settings. The server validates the enclave by examining the contents of the report, and ensuring the following attributes in the report match those specified in the policy file:

  • The enclave's MRSIGNER value (this is a SHA256 hash generated from the signing key)

  • The Product ID number ('''ProdID''' in Enclave.config.xml)

  • The software vendor's enclave version number ('''ISVSVN''' in Enclave.config.xml)

  • Whether or not the enclave was built in debug mode

The policy file is prepopulated with the correct values. By modifying the parameters in the policy file, you can create requirements that the enclave report doesn't meet and thus trigger attestation failures.

This demonstrates one of the key functions of remote attestation: the client enclave can be rejected if it originates from an unrecognized signer, contains an unrecognized product identifier, or if it's simply too old. The first prevents unauthorized and unknown enclaves from using the service. The latter two allows software venders to force end users to update their software.

The policy file is also set to specifically allow debug-mode enclaves. ''This is acceptable for a code sample, but a debug-mode enclave should never, ever be accepted by production service provider!''

Linux

Two wrapper scripts, run-client and run-server are provided for convenience. These are Bourne shell scripts that do the following:

  • Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  • Parse the settings and policy files (which are sourced as shell scripts)
  • Execute the client or server application with the corresponding command-line options

You can pass command-line options to the underlying executables via the wrapper scripts.

To execute:

  • Edit the settings file

  • Run the server:

    ./run-server [ options ] [ port ]

  • Run the client:

    ./run-client [ options ] [ host[:port] ]

The policy file is automatically generated for you from the Enclave metadata in Enclave_config.xml and the signed enclave, Enclave.signed.so. In order to test the policy validation functions, you can edit the parameters in this file and restart the server. Your changes will be lost, however, if you do a make clean.

Windows

Two wrapper scripts, run-client.cmd and run-server.cmd are provided for convenience. These are Windows CMD-style batch files that do the following:

  • Parse the settings.cmd and policy.cmd files (which are called as batch files)

  • Execute the client.exe or sp.exe applications with the corresponding command-line options.

You can pass command-line options to the underlying executables via the wrapper scripts. Note that it expects UNIX-style syntax (dashes), not Windows-style (slashes).

To execute:

  • Edit the settings.cmd file

  • Run the server:

    run-server [ options ] [ port ]

  • Run the client:

    run-client [ options ] [ host[:port] ]

The policy.cmd file is automatically generated for you from the Enclave metadata in Enclave_config.xml and the signed enclave, Enclave.signed.dll`. In order to test the policy validation functions, you can edit the parameters in this file and restart the server. Your changes will be lost, however, if you clean or rebuild the project.

Running the Sample (Advanced Options)

Use verbose mode (-v) to see additional details about the messages sent between the client and server. This information is printed to stderr.

Use debug mode (-d) to view debugging information.

Client

usage: client [ options ] [ host[:port] ]

Required:
  -N, --nonce-file=FILE    Set a nonce from a file containing a 32-byte
                           ASCII hex string

  -P, --pubkey-file=FILE   File containing the public key of the service
                           provider.

  -S, --spid-file=FILE     Set the SPID from a file containing a 32-byte
                           ASCII hex string

  -d, --debug              Show debugging information

  -e, --epid-gid           Get the EPID Group ID instead of performing
                           an attestation.

  -l, --linkable           Specify a linkable quote (default: unlinkable)

  -m, --pse-manifest       Include the PSE manifest in the quote

  -n, --nonce=HEXSTRING    Set a nonce from a 32-byte ASCII hex string

  -p, --pubkey=HEXSTRING   Specify the public key of the service provider
                           as an ASCII hex string instead of using the
                           default.

  -q                       Generate a quote instead of performing an
                           attestation.

  -r                       Generate a nonce using RDRAND

  -s, --spid=HEXSTRING     Set the SPID from a 32-byte ASCII hex string

  -v, --verbose            Print decoded RA messages to stderr

  -z                       Read from stdin and write to stdout instead
                           connecting to a server.

By default, the client connects to a server running on localhost, port 7777, and attempts a remote attestation.

If -z is supplied, it will run interactively, accepting input from stdin and writing to stdout. This makes it possible to copy and paste output from the client to the server, and visa-versa.

The -q option will generate and print a quote instead of performing remote attestation. This quote can be submitted as-is to the Intel Attestation Service, and is intended for debugging RA workflows and IAS communications.

The -p and -P options let you override the service provider's public key for debugging and testing purposes. This key is normally hardcoded into the enclave to ensure it only attests to the expected service provider.

Server

usage: sp [ options ] [ port ]
Required:
  -A, --ias-signing-cafile=FILE
                           Specify the IAS Report Signing CA file.

  -N, --mrsigner=HEXSTRING
                           Specify the MRSIGNER value of enclaves that
                           are allowed to attest. Enclaves signed by
                           other signing keys are rejected.

  -R, --isv-product-id=INT
                           Specify the ISV Product Id for the service.
                           Only Enclaves built with this Product Id
                           will be accepted.

  -V, --min-isv-svn=INT
                           The minimum ISV SVN that the service provider
                           will accept. Enclaves with a lower ISV SVN
                           are rejected.

Required (one of):
  -S, --spid-file=FILE     Set the SPID from a file containg a 32-byte
                           ASCII hex string.

  -s, --spid=HEXSTRING     Set the SPID from a 32-byte ASCII hex string.

Required (one of):
  -I, --ias-pri-api-key-file=FILE
                           Set the IAS Primary Subscription Key from a
                           file containing a 32-byte ASCII hex string.

  -i, --ias-pri-api-key=HEXSTRING
                           Set the IAS Primary Subscription Key from a
                           32-byte ASCII hex string.

Required (one of):

  -J, --ias-sec-api-key-file=FILE
                           Set the IAS Secondary Subscription Key from a
                           file containing a 32-byte ASCII hex string.

  -j, --ias-sec-api-key=HEXSTRING
                           Set the IAS Secondary Subscription Key from a
                           32-byte ASCII hex string.

Optional:
  -B, --ca-bundle-file=FILE
                           Use the CA certificate bundle at FILE (default:
                           /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt)

  -D, --no-debug-enclave   Reject Debug-mode enclaves (default: accept)

  -G, --list-agents        List available user agent names for --user-agent

  -K, --service-key-file=FILE
                           The private key file for the service in PEM
                           format (default: use hardcoded key). The
                           client must be given the corresponding public
                           key. Can't combine with --key.

  -P, --production         Query the production IAS server instead of dev.

  -X, --strict-trust-mode  Don't trust enclaves that receive a
                           CONFIGURATION_NEEDED response from IAS
                           (default: trust)

  -d, --debug              Print debug information to stderr.

  -g, --user-agent=NAME    Use NAME as the user agent for contacting IAS.

  -k, --key=HEXSTRING      The private key as a hex string. See --key-file
                           for notes. Can't combine with --key-file.

  -l, --linkable           Request a linkable quote (default: unlinkable).

  -p, --proxy=PROXYURL     Use the proxy server at PROXYURL when contacting
                           IAS. Can't combine with --no-proxy

  -r, --api-version=N      Use version N of the IAS API (default: 4)

  -v, --verbose            Be verbose. Print message structure details and
                           the results of intermediate operations to stderr.

  -x, --no-proxy           Do not use a proxy (force a direct connection),
                           overriding environment.

  -z  --stdio              Read from stdin and write to stdout instead of
                           running as a network server.

You set the user agent with -g (a list of supported agents can be obtained from -G). On Linux, this is one of either wget or libcurl (unless the latter is disabled in the build configuration). On Windows, winhttp is the only agent.

By default, the server uses protocol version 4 when communicating with IAS. This can be changed with -r. Versions 1 and 2 have been deprecated.

You can override the service provider private key with -k or -K. As with the client, this key would normally be hardcoded into the server to prevent it from handling unauthorized clients.

You can force the server to use a proxy when communicating with IAS via -p, or to use a direct connection via -x.

As with the client, the server can be run in interactive mode via -z, accepting input from stdin and writing to stdout. This makes it possible to copy and paste output from the client to the server, and visa-versa.

By default, the server trusts enclaves that result in a CONFIGURATION_NEEDED response from IAS. Enable strict mode with -X to mark these enclaves as untrusted. This is a policy decision: the service provider should decide whether or not to trust the enclave in this circumstance.
