Virtual TPM interface for Xen
Authors: Matthew Fioravante (JHUAPL), Daniel De Graaf (NSA)
This document describes the virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) subsystem for
Xen. The reader is assumed to have familiarity with building and installing Xen,
Linux, and a basic understanding of the TPM and vTPM concepts.
INTRODUCTION
The goal of this work is to provide a TPM functionality to a virtual guest
operating system (in Xen terms, a DomU). This allows programs to interact with
a TPM in a virtual system the same way they interact with a TPM on the physical
system. Each guest gets its own unique, emulated, software TPM. However, each
of the vTPM's secrets (Keys, NVRAM, etc) are managed by a vTPM Manager domain,
which seals the secrets to the Physical TPM. If the process of creating each of
these domains (manager, vTPM, and guest) is trusted, the vTPM subsystem extends
the chain of trust rooted in the hardware TPM to virtual machines in Xen. Each
major component of vTPM is implemented as a separate domain, providing secure
separation guaranteed by the hypervisor. The vTPM domains are implemented in
mini-os to reduce memory and processor overhead.
This mini-os vTPM subsystem was built on top of the previous vTPM work done by
IBM and Intel corporation.
DESIGN OVERVIEW
---------------
The architecture of vTPM is described below:

| Hardware TPM |
+------------------+
* Linux DomU: The Linux based guest that wants to use a vTPM. There may be
more than one of these.
* xen-tpmfront.ko: Linux kernel virtual TPM frontend driver. This driver
provides vTPM access to a Linux-based DomU.
* mini-os/tpmback: Mini-os TPM backend driver. The Linux frontend driver
connects to this backend driver to facilitate communications
between the Linux DomU and its vTPM. This driver is also
used by vtpmmgr-stubdom to communicate with vtpm-stubdom.
* vtpm-stubdom: A mini-os stub domain that implements a vTPM. There is a
one to one mapping between running vtpm-stubdom instances and
logical vtpms on the system. The vTPM Platform Configuration
Registers (PCRs) are normally all initialized to zero.
* mini-os/tpmfront: Mini-os TPM frontend driver. The vTPM mini-os domain
vtpm-stubdom uses this driver to communicate with
vtpmmgr-stubdom. This driver is also used in mini-os
domains such as pv-grub that talk to the vTPM domain.
* vtpmmgr-stubdom: A mini-os domain that implements the vTPM manager. There is
only one vTPM manager and it should be running during the
entire lifetime of the machine. This domain regulates
access to the physical TPM on the system and secures the
persistent state of each vTPM.
* mini-os/tpm_tis: Mini-os TPM version 1.2 TPM Interface Specification (TIS)
driver. This driver used by vtpmmgr-stubdom to talk directly to
the hardware TPM. Communication is facilitated by mapping
hardware memory pages into vtpmmgr-stubdom.
* Hardware TPM: The physical TPM that is soldered onto the motherboard.
INTEGRATION WITH XEN
--------------------
Support for the vTPM driver was added in Xen using the libxl toolstack in Xen
4.3. See the Xen documentation (docs/misc/vtpm.txt) for details on setting up
the vTPM and vTPM Manager stub domains. Once the stub domains are running, a
vTPM device is set up in the same manner as a disk or network device in the
domain's configuration file.
In order to use features such as IMA that require a TPM to be loaded prior to
the initrd, the xen-tpmfront driver must be compiled in to the kernel. If not
using such features, the driver can be compiled as a module and will be loaded
as usual.
