Guest Secure Boot with OVMF

Open Virtual Machine Firmware (OVMF) is an EDK II based project to enable UEFI
support for virtual machines in virtualized environment. In ACRN, OVMF is
deployed to launch a user VM, as if the user VM is booted on a machine with
UEFI firmware.
UEFI Secure Boot defines how a platform's firmware can authenticate a digitally
signed UEFI image, such as an operating system loader or a UEFI driver stored
in an option ROM. This provides the capability to ensure that those UEFI images
are only loaded in an owner-authorized fashion and provides a common means to
ensure platform's security and integrity over systems running UEFI-based firmware.
UEFI Secure Boot is already supported by OVMF.

UEFI Secure Boot Overview
UEFI Secure Boot is controlled by a set of UEFI Authenticated Variables which specify
the UEFI Secure Boot Policy, the platform manufacturer or the platform owner enroll the
policy objects, which include the n-tuple of keys {PK, KEK, db,dbx} as a step 1.
During each successive boot, the UEFI secure boot implementation will assess the
policy in order to verify the signed images that are discovered in a host-bus adapter
or on a disk. If the images pass policy, then they are invoked.
UEFI Secure Boot implementations use these keys:
#. Platform Key (PK) is the top-level key in Secure Boot, UEFI supports a single PK,
which is generally provided by the manufacturer.
#. Key Exchange Key (KEK) is used to sign Signature and Forbidden Signature Database updates.
#. Signature Database (db) contains kyes and/or hashes of allowed EFI binaries.
And keys and certificates are in multiple format:
#. `.key` PEM format private keys for EFI binary and EFI signature list signing.
#. `.crt` PEM format certificates for sbsign.
#. `.cer` DER format certificates for firmware.
In ACRN, User VM Secure Boot can be enabled by below steps.
#. Generate keys(PK/KEK/DB) with key generation tool such as Ubuntu KeyGeneration,
`PK.der`, `KEK.der` and `db.der` will be enrolled in UEFI BIOS, `db.key` and `db.crt`
will be used to sign user VM bootloader/kernel.
#. Create a virtual disk to hold `PK.der`, `KEK.der` and `db.der`, then launch user VM with
this virtual disk which contains the keys for enrollment.
#. Start OVMF in writeback mode to ensure the keys are persistently stored in the OVMF image.
#. Enroll keys in OVMF GUI by following the Secure Boot configuration flow and enable
secure boot mode.
#. Perform writeback via reset in OVMF.
#. Sign user VM images with `db.key` and `db.crt`.

The memory of the guest VM (UOS) is allocated dynamically by the DM
process in the SOS before the UOS is launched. When the UOS is shutdown

the same memory content (or some overlaps) for this new UOS.

In the virtualization environment, a security goal is to ensure User VM

access the previous UOS's secrets by scanning the memory regions
allocated for the new UOS.
