1. Field
The present disclosure relates generally to an electronic device and method for generating an attestation certificate, based on a fused key.
Device attestation is a method of verifying that the hardware and/or software of an electronic device has not been changed. The device attestation may prevent an electronic device from acting as another electronic device by changing the hardware ID of the electronic device and transmitting the same to an external electronic device that requests attestation, and the external electronic device may determine that the hardware and/or software is changed after the electronic device is manufactured.
An attestation certificate associated with device attestation may be generated by signing hardware information of an electronic device using an attestation key generated. in an external electronic device at manufacturing. Accordingly, there is no association between the attestation key and the hardware information. For the above reason, if an attacker obtains an attestation key, an attestation certificate can be newly issued, which is a drawback.

In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an integrated circuit including at least one key, at least one processor including the integrated circuit, and a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to obtain at least one piece of hardware information related to the electronic device, generate a signed certificate signing request including the at least one piece of hardware information, based on the at least one key, transmit the signed certificate signing request to an external electronic device, receive an attestation certificate generated based on the signed certificate signing request, from the external electronic device, and store the received attestation certificate in the memory.
In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, a method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes identifying at least one piece of hardware information related to the electronic device, generating a signed certificate signing request including the at least one piece of hardware information, based on at least one key, transmitting the signed certificate signing request to an external electronic device, receiving an attestation certificate generated based on the signed certificate signing request, from the external electronic device, and storing the received attestation certificate in the memory.

The secure integrated circuit 200 may include the main processor 221 (e.g., the main processor 121), the secure processor 223 (e.g., the sub-processor 123), and the secure memory 225.
The main processor 221 may operate in the REE, the TEE, or a combination thereof. The main processor 221 may control data processing and an operation thereof in the REE and/or TEE.
The secure processor 223 may be operatively connected to the main processor 221, and may perform communication. The secure processor 223 may receive a request for operating or initializing the SEE, from the main processor 221. The secure processor 223 may operate in the SEE. The secure processor 223 may control security (e.g., encryption) of data using a first security key 26. The first security key 26 may be stored in a onetime programmable (OTP) memory 25. The first security key 26 may be stored in the security integrated circuit 200 in a manner of being fused. The first security key 26 may be stored in the secure integrated circuit 200 in a manner of being fused, by changing the physical configuration of the secure integrated circuit 200 so that the physical configuration of the secure integrated circuit 200 indicates a binary data sequence corresponding to the first security key 26. The circuit lines corresponding to the physical configuration of the security integrated circuit 200 may indicate “0” or “1” by selectively disconnecting the corresponding circuit lines, and thus, the physical configuration of the security integrated circuit 200 may indicate the binary data sequence corresponding to the first security key 26. If the first security key 26 is a data sequence of “0101001”, first, third, fifth, and sixth circuit lines among the seven circuit lines corresponding to the physical configuration of the secure integrated circuit 200 may be disconnected and thus, the seven circuit lines corresponding to the physical configuration of the secure integrated circuit 200 may indicate the data sequence of “0101001”. When the secure integrated circuit 200 is manufactured, some of the circuit lines included in the secure integrated circuit 200 may be selectively disconnected in order to indicate a binary data sequence corresponding to the first security key 26, and thus, the first security key 26 may be stored in the secure integrated circuit 200 in a manner of being fused.

The encryption module 22 may sign data that requires signing. The encryption module 22 may sign data using the first security key 26, if a secure application (e.g., an application such as Samsung Pay™) that operates in the SEE requires signing data. A sign provided to data may be an electronic signature provided using the first security key 26 as a private key. Signing data may include an operation of generating a public key corresponding to a private key, and electronically signing data using the private key and the public key.
The random number generation module 23 may generate a random number. The random number generation module 23 may generate a random number in entropy (e.g., a 256-bit random number) that the secure processor 223 needs. The generated random number may be used for generating a key. Entropy may be randomness which may be a seed of generation of a random number in order to secure randomness. As entropy is higher, the predictability of a generated random number may be low and the probability of redundancy may be low.
The secure memory controller 24 may control the secure memory 225. The secure memory controller 24 may record a second security key 27 in the secure memory 225, or may transmit encrypted data to the secure memory 225.
The OTP memory 25 may be a non-volatile memory (NVM) in which data is recorded once. The OTP memory 25 may store the first security key 26. A bit indicating whether the first security key 26 is recorded may be recorded in a designated area of the OTP memory 25.

At step 310, the electronic device 201 may collect hardware information. In a TEE, the main processor (e.g., the main processor 221) of the electronic device 201 may collect hardware information. In the TEE, the main processor 221 may generate a hash value based on the collected hardware information using a hash function, and thus, the hardware information may be processed as a hash value. The main processor 221 may collect hardware information via a program (e.g., the program 140) operating in the TEE.
Hardware information may include information identified for each hardware. Hardware information may include an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI), model information, manufacturer information, a serial number, a hardware ID, baseband information, or a combination thereof. However, hardware information is not limited to the above-mentioned information, and may further include other information.
At step 320, the electronic device 201 may generate data including the hardware information and the public key of a fused key. In the TEE, the main processor 221 may generate data including the hardware information and the public key of the fused key. The main processor 221 may generate data including the hardware information and the public key of the fused key via a program (e.g., the program 140) operating in the TEE.
The fused key may correspond to the first security key 26. The fused key may be a key stored in the secure integrated circuit 200 in a manner of being fused. The fused key may be stored in the form of a key pair including a plurality of key values respectively corresponding to the secure integrated circuit 200. Each key may be generated as a public key or a private key via a key generation algorithm (e.g., elliptic curve algorithm, RSA). The fused key may be referred to as an attestation key.
In the TEE, the main processor 221 may obtain the public key of the fused key via the secure processor 223 that operates in the SEE. In the TEE, the main processor 221 may generate data including the hardware information and the public key of the fused key obtained via, the secure processor 223. The main processor 221 may use a program (e.g., the program 140) that operates in the TEE so as to request the public key of the fused key from a program (e.g., the program 140) that operates in the SEE via the secure processor 223. If the program that operates in the SEE transfers the public key of the fused key in response to the request, the main processor 221 may obtain the public key of the fused key. The fused key may be a key that is accessible by the secure processor 223 that operates in the SEE. The fused key may be a key that is accessible via an allowed program among programs (e.g., the program 140) that operate in the SEE via the processor 223. A program that runs in the SEE may be a program of which the security is strengthened, or may be a program that has a right to access data stored in the SEE. In the case of data of which the security is considered important, the data may be stored in the SEE, and if access to the data of which the security is considered important is managed by a program that runs in the SEE, the security of the data may be tightened.
In the TEE, the main processor 221 may generate data by inserting the public key of the fused key and the hardware information into a set field of an attestation certificate. The main processor 221 may generate data including the public key of the fused key and the hardware information via a program (e.g., the program 140) operating in the TEE. The data including the public key of the fused key and the hardware information may be referred to as a certificate signing request (CSR).
In the SEE, the secure processor 223 may sign the CSR using the private key of the fused key. In the SEE, the secure processor 223 may electronically sign the CSR using a private key, via an encryption module (e.g., an encryption module 22).
In the SEE, the secure processor 223 may transmit the CSR signed using the private of the fused key to the main processor 221. In the TEE, the main processor 221 may receive the signed CSR (CSR signed by the fused key in SEE). The secure processor 223 may transfer the signed CSR using a program (e.g., the program 140) operating the in the SEE to a program (e.g., the program 140) operating in the TEE that requests signing.
At step 330, the electronic device 201 may request an attestation certificate that is based on the data, from an external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 102). The data may be data including the hardware information and the public key of the fused key. The data may be the signed CSR.
The main processor 221 may transfer the signed CSR from the TEE to the REE. In the REE, the main processor 221 may transmit the signed CSR to the external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 102), so as to request an attestation certificate.
