Chapter 32: Device Secure Boot
Once the SPK has been authenticated, the BootROM calculates the SHA-256 hash value for the FSBL
stored in OCM. The FSBL is authenticated using the SPK. If the authentication passes, a secure FSBL
is then decrypted using the AES or a non-secure FSBL will start execution.
32.2.6 Boot Image and Bitstream Encryption
Boot images are assembled and encrypted using software provided by Xilinx, bootgen. A FSBL and
any additional PS images or PL bitstreams along with the encryption key and authentication
signature must be supplied to bootgen. The correct headers are generated automatically when
bootgen builds the boot image.
32.2.7 Boot Image and Bitstream Decryption and Authentication
For PS image and PL bitstream decryption, Xilinx uses the advanced encryption standard (AES) in
cipher block chaining (CBC) mode with a 256-bit key. PS images and PL bitstreams are authenticated
with a keyed-hashed message authentication code (HMAC) using the SHA-256 hash algorithm. When
the BootROM detects that the FSBL image is encrypted, it enables the decryption and authentication
engines within the PL. Both are enabled or disabled in tandem and cannot be separated.
Subsequent PS images do not have to be encrypted. Once an encrypted FSBL has been loaded, it is
“trusted” and can then load a non-encrypted second stage boot loader or application directly to
OCM. Loading of non-encrypted PS images after a secure boot is not recommended and should only
be done after fully evaluating the system-level security.
32.2.8 HMAC Signature
HMAC authentication is performed whenever the AES is used. When creating an encrypted boot
image, the HMAC key must be provided to the bootgen software. The HMAC key and signature are
then encrypted with the boot file. Unlike the AES key, the HMAC key and signature are part of the
encrypted image. During the on-chip decryption process, the HMAC signature is extracted from the
image and used by the authentication algorithm. No on-chip storage for the HMAC key is required.
32.2.9 AES Key Management
The AES encryption key is stored on-chip within the PL. It can be loaded into either volatile
battery-backed RAM (BBRAM) or in non-volatile eFuse storage. The keys are loaded into the PL via
the JTAG interface. (See UG470
, 7 Series FPGAs Configuration User Guide for more information.)
