SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +================================= +TS-TEE (Trusted Services project) +================================= + +This driver provides access to secure services implemented by Trusted Services. + +Trusted Services [1] is a TrustedFirmware.org project that provides a framework +for developing and deploying device Root of Trust services in FF-A [2] S-EL0 +Secure Partitions. The project hosts the reference implementation of the Arm +Platform Security Architecture [3] for Arm A-profile devices. + +The FF-A Secure Partitions (SP) are accessible through the FF-A driver [4] which +provides the low level communication for this driver. On top of that the Trusted +Services RPC protocol is used [5]. To use the driver from user space a reference +implementation is provided at [6], which is part of the Trusted Services client +library called libts [7]. + +All Trusted Services (TS) SPs have the same FF-A UUID; it identifies the TS RPC +protocol. A TS SP can host one or more services (e.g. PSA Crypto, PSA ITS, etc). +A service is identified by its service UUID; the same type of service cannot be +present twice in the same SP. During SP boot each service in the SP is assigned +an "interface ID". This is just a short ID to simplify message addressing. + +The generic TEE design is to share memory at once with the Trusted OS, which can +then be reused to communicate with multiple applications running on the Trusted +OS. However, in case of FF-A, memory sharing works on an endpoint level, i.e. +memory is shared with a specific SP. User space has to be able to separately +share memory with each SP based on its endpoint ID; therefore a separate TEE +device is registered for each discovered TS SP. Opening the SP corresponds to +opening the TEE device and creating a TEE context. A TS SP hosts one or more +services. Opening a service corresponds to opening a session in the given +tee_context. + +Overview of a system with Trusted Services components:: + + User space Kernel space Secure world + ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +--------+ +-------------+ + | Client | | Trusted | + +--------+ | Services SP | + /\ +-------------+ + || /\ + || || + || || + \/ \/ + +-------+ +----------+--------+ +-------------+ + | libts | | TEE | TS-TEE | | FF-A SPMC | + | | | subsys | driver | | + SPMD | + +-------+----------------+----+-----+--------+-----------+-------------+ + | Generic TEE API | | FF-A | TS RPC protocol | + | IOCTL (TEE_IOC_*) | | driver | over FF-A | + +-----------------------------+ +--------+-------------------------+ + +References +========== + +[1] https://www.trustedfirmware.org/projects/trusted-services/ + +[2] https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0077/ + +[3] https://www.arm.com/architecture/security-features/platform-security + +[4] drivers/firmware/arm_ffa/ + +[5] https://trusted-services.readthedocs.io/en/v1.0.0/developer/service-access-protocols.html#abi + +[6] https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TS/trusted-services.git/tree/components/rpc/ts_rpc/caller/linux/ts_rpc_caller_linux.c?h=v1.0.0 + +[7] https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TS/trusted-services.git/tree/deployments/libts/arm-linux/CMakeLists.txt?h=v1.0.0 |
