psasim
This tool simulates a PSA Firmware Framework implementation. It allows you to develop secure partitions and their clients on a desktop computer. It should be able to run on all systems that support POSIX and System V IPC: e.g. macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and perhaps Windows 10 WSL2.
Please note that the code in this directory is maintained by the Mbed TLS / PSA Crypto project solely for the purpose of testing the use of Mbed TLS with client/service separation. We do not recommend using this code for any other purpose. In particular:
- This simulator is not intended to pass or demonstrate compliance.
- This code is only intended for simulation and does not have any security goals. It does not isolate services from clients.
Building
To build and run the test program make sure you have make
, python
and a
C compiler installed and then enter the following commands:
make run
Optionally the DEBUG=1
command line option can be enabled to increase verbosity:
make DEBUG=1 run
Once done with the test, it is possible to clean all the generated files with:
make clean
Features
The implemented API is intended to be compliant with PSA-FF 1.0.0 with the exception of a couple of things that are a work in progress:
psa_notify
support- "strict" policy in manifest
The only supported "interrupts" are POSIX signals, which act as a "virtual interrupt".
The standard PSA RoT APIs are not included (e.g. cryptography, attestation, lifecycle etc).
Design
The code is designed to be readable rather than fast or secure. In this implementation only one message is delivered to a RoT service at a time. The code is not thread-safe.
Unsupported features
Because this is a simulator there are a few things that can't be reasonably emulated:
- Manifest MMIO regions are unsupported
- Manifest priority field is ignored
- Partition IDs are in fact POSIX
pid_t
, which are only assigned at runtime, making it infeasible to populate pid.h with correct values.
