-Secure boot refers to preventing malicious software applications and
-“unauthorized” operating systems from loading during the system start-up
-process. The goal is to protect users from rootkits and other low-level malware
-attacks. Modern bootloaders come with features that can be used to enable secure
-boot in the system.
-
-**Boot Hardening**: Steps/requirements to configure the boot sequence, in order
-to restrict the device from executing anything other than the approved software
-image.
-
-In this part, we will see a series of settings that will allow us to improve
-security during boot phase. For the purposes of reference and explanation, we
-are providing guidance on how to configure an embedded device that runs with a
-3.10.17 Linux kernel. If the integrity is not checked or if a critical error
-occurs, the system must boot on a very stable backup image.
-
-**Requirements**: These requirements must be met even if an alternative version
-of the Linux kernel is chosen.
-
-**Recommendations**: Detailed best practices that should be applied in order to
-secure a device. Although they are not currently listed as hard requirements,
-they may be upgraded to requirements status in the future. In addition, specific
-operators may change some of these recommendations into requirements based on
-their specific needs and objectives.

-Boot-Abstract-1 | Review the definition of the "boot loader".
-
-<!-- end-section-todo -->
-
-**Boot loader**: The boot loader consists of the Primary boot loader residing in
-**OTP** memory, sboot, U-Boot and Secure loader residing in external flash (NAND
-or SPI/NOR flash memory). The CPU on power on or reset executes the primary boot
-loader. The **OTP** primary boot loader makes the necessary initial system
-configuration and then loads the secondary boot loader sboot from external flash
-memory to ram memory. The sboot then loads the U-Boot along with the Secure
-loader. U-Boot then verifies the Kernel/system image integrity, then loads the
-Kernel/system image before passing control to it.

-## Disable USB, Serial and DOCSIS Support
-
-To disable USB support in U-Boot, following config's shall not be defined:
-
-```
-CONFIG_CMD_USB: Enables basic USB support and the usb command.
-CONFIG_USB_UHCI: Defines the lowlevel part.
-CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD: Enables the USB Keyboard.

-```
-
-In addition, disable unnecessary communication modes like Ethernet, Serial
-ports, DOCSIS in U-Boot and sboot that are not necessary.
-
-Linux Kernel support for USB should be compiled-out if not required. If it is
-needed, the Linux Kernel should be configured to only enable the minimum
-required USB devices. User-initiated USB-filesystems should be treated with
-special care. Whether or not the filesystems are mounted in userspace
-(**FUSE**), restricted mount options should be observed.

-# Part 4 - Kernel
-
-## Abstract
-
-**System Hardening:** Best practices associated with the configuration of an
-embedded Linux based operating system. This section includes both hardening of
-the kernel itself, as well as specific configurations and patches used to
-protect against known vulnerabilities within the build and configuration of the
-root filesystem.
-
-At the Kernel level, we must ensure that no console can be launched. It could be
-used to change the behavior of the system or to have more information about it.
-Another aspect is the protection of the memory used by the Kernel.
-
-The next sub-sections contain information on various kernel configuration
-options to enhance the security in the kernel (3.10.17) and also for
-applications compiled to take advantage of these security features.
-Additionally, there are also configuration options that protect from known
-vulnerable configuration options. Here's a high level summary of various kernel
-configurations that shall be required for deployment.
-
-## Kernel Version
-
-The choice of kernel version for the AGL system is essential to its security.
-Depending on the type of board and eventual production system, different kernel
-versions are used. For example, one of the systems under study uses the Linux
-kernel version 3.10, while another uses the Linux kernel version 4.4. For the
-Linux kernel version 3.10.31, there are 25 known vulnerabilities. These
-vulnerabilities would allow an attacker to gain privileges, bypass access
-restrictions, allow memory to be corrupted, or cause denial of service. In
-contrast, the Linux kernel version of 4.4 has many fewer known vulnerabilities.
-For this reason, we would in general recommend the later kernel version as a
-basis for the platform.
-
-Note that, although there are fewer known vulnerabilities in the most recent
-kernel versions there may be many unknown vulnerabilities underlying. A rule of
-thumb is to update the kernel as much as possible to avoid the problems you do
-know, but you should not be complacent in the trust that you place in it. A
-defense-in-depth approach would then apply.
-
-If there are constraints and dependencies in upgrading to a newer kernel version
-(e.g. device drivers, board support providers) and you are forced to an older
-Linux kernel version, there need to be additional provisions made to reduce the
-risk of kernel exploits, which can include memory monitoring, watch-dog
-services, and system call hooking. In this case, further defense-in-depth
-techniques may be required to mitigate the risk of attacks to known
-vulnerabilities, which can also include runtime integrity verification of
-components that are vulnerable to tampering.
-
-## Kernel Build Configuration
-
-The kernel build configuration is extremely important for determining the level
-of access to services and to reduce the breadth of the attack surface. Linux
-contains a great and flexible number of capabilities and this is only controlled
-through the build configuration. For example, the `CONFIG_MODULES` parameter
-allows kernel modules to be loaded at runtime extending the capabilities of the
-kernel. This capability needs to be either inhibited or controlled at runtime
-through other configuration parameters. For example, `CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE=y`
-ensures that only signed modules are loaded. There is a very large number of
-kernel configuration parameters, and these are discussed in detail in this
-section.

-**Kexec** is a system call that enables you to load and boot into another kernel
-from the currently running kernel. This feature is not required in a production
-environment.

-## Disable Legacy Linux Support
-
-There are some Kernel Configs which are present only to support legacy binaries.
-See also "Consoles" part in order to disabling support for legacy binary
-formats. The `uselib` system call, in particular, has no valid use in any
-`libc6` or `uclibc` system in recent times. This configuration is supported in
-**Linux 3.15 and greater** and thus should only be disabled for such versions.

-## Disable firmware auto-loading user mode helper
-
-The firmware auto loading helper, which is a utility executed by the kernel on
-`hotplug` events requiring firmware, can to be set `setuid`. As a result of
-this, the helper utility is an attractive target for attackers with control of
-physical ports on the device. Disabling this configuration that is supported in

-## Enable Kernel Panic on OOPS
-
-When fuzzing the kernel or attempting kernel exploits attackers are likely to
-trigger kernel OOPSes. Setting the behavior on OOPS to PANIC can impede their
-progress.

-These monitors can be used to inspect shared file descriptors on Unix Domain
-sockets or traffic on 'localhost' which is otherwise assumed to be confidential.
-
-The `CONFIG_PACKET_DIAG` configuration is supported in **Linux 3.7 and greater**
-and thus should only be disabled for such versions.

-## Disable BPF JIT

-
-## Enable Enforced Module Signing
-
-The kernel should never allow an unprivileged user the ability to load specific
-kernel modules, since that would provide a facility to unexpectedly extend the
-available attack surface.
-
-To protect against even privileged users, systems may need to either disable
-module loading entirely, or provide signed modules (e.g.
-`CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE`, or dm-crypt with LoadPin), to keep from having root
-load arbitrary kernel code via the module loader interface.
-
-This configuration is supported in **Linux 3.7 and greater** and thus should
-only be enabled for such versions.

-
-## Disable all USB, PCMCIA (and other `hotplug` bus) drivers that aren't needed
-
-To reduce the attack surface, the driver enumeration, probe, and operation
-happen in the kernel. The driver data is parsed by the kernel, so any logic bugs
-in these drivers can become kernel exploits.

-
-## Prevent Overwrite Attacks
-
-`-z,relro` linking option helps during program load, several ELF memory sections
-need to be written by the linker, but can be turned read-only before turning
-over control to the program. This prevents some Global Offset Table GOT
-overwrite attacks, or in the dtors section of the ELF binary.
-
-<!-- section-config -->
-
-Domain | `compiler` and `linker` options | _State_
---------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | --------
-Kernel-General-OverwriteAttacks-1 | `-z,relro` | _Enable_
-Kernel-General-OverwriteAttacks-2 | `-z,now` | _Enable_
-
-<!-- end-section-config -->
-
-During program load, all dynamic symbols are resolved, allowing for the complete
-GOT to be marked read-only (due to `-z relro` above). This prevents GOT
-overwrite attacks. For very large application, this can incur some performance
-loss during initial load while symbols are resolved, but this shouldn't be an
-issue for daemons.

-`LD_PRELOAD/LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. It also increases RSS footprint and creates
-problems with upgrading.

-# Debug
-
-No debuggers shall be present on the file system. This includes, but is not
-limited to, the GNU Debugger client/server (commonly known in their short form
-names such as the `gdb` and `gdbserver` executable binaries respectively), the
-`LLDB` next generation debugger or the `TCF` (Target Communications Framework)
-agnostic framework. Including these binaries as part of the file system will
-facilitate an attacker's ability to reverse engineer and debug (either locally
-or remotely) any process that is currently executing on the device.
-
-## Kernel debug symbols
-
-Debug symbols should always be removed from production kernels as they provide a

-## DMESG Restrictions
-
-When attackers try to develop "run anywhere" exploits for vulnerabilities, they
-frequently will use `dmesg` output. By treating `dmesg` output as sensitive
-information, this output is not available to the attacker.

-# Part 5 - Platform
-
-## Abstract
-
-The Automotive Grade Linux platform is a Linux distribution with **AGL**
-compliant applications and services. The platform includes the following
-software:
-
-- Linux **BSP** configured for reference boards.
-- Proprietary device drivers for common peripherals on reference boards.
-- Application framework.
-- Windows/layer management (graphics).
-- Sound resource management.
-- An atomic software update system (chapter Update).
-- Building and debug tools (based on Yocto project).
-
-<!-- section-todo -->
-
-Domain | Improvement
-------------------- | --------------------------------
-Platform-Abstract-1 | Create a graphics and sound part.
-
-<!-- end-section-todo -->
-
-This part focuses on the AGL platform including all tools and techniques used to
-upgrade the security and downgrade the danger. It must be possible to apply the
-two fundamental principles written at the very beginning of the document. First
-of all, security management must remain simple. You must also prohibit
-everything by default, and then define a set of authorization rules. As cases to
-deal with, we must:
-
-- Implement a **MAC** for processes and files.
-- Limit communication between applications (_SystemBus_ and _SystemD_ part).
-- Prohibit all tools used during development mode (_Utilities_ and _Services_
- part).
-- Manage user capabilities (_Users_ part).
-- Manage application permissions and policies (_AGLFw_ part).
-
-<!-- section-note -->
-
-The tools and concepts used to meet these needs are only examples. Any other
-tool that meets the need can be used.
-
-<!-- end-section-note -->
-
-In AGL, as in many other embedded systems, different security mechanisms settle
-in the core layers to ensure isolation and data privacy. While the Mandatory
-Access Control layer (**SMACK**) provides global security and isolation, other
-mechanisms like **Cynara** are required to check application's permissions at
-runtime. Applicative permissions (also called "_privileges_") may vary depending
-on the user and the application being run: an application should have access to
-a given service only if it is run by the proper user and if the appropriate
-permissions are granted.
-
-## Discretionary Access Control
-
-**D**iscretionary **A**ccess **C**ontrol (**DAC**) is the traditional Linux
-method of separating users and groups from one another. In a shared environment
-where multiple users have access to a computer or network, Unix IDs have offered
-a way to contain access within privilege areas for individuals, or shared among
-the group or system. The Android system took this one step further, assigning
-new user IDs for each App. This was never the original intention of Linux UIDs,
-but was able to provide Android’s initial security element: the ability to
-sandbox applications.
-
-Although AGL mentions use of **DAC** for security isolation, the weight of the
-security responsibility lies in the **M**andatory **A**ccess **C**ontrol
-(**MAC**) and **Cynara**. Furthermore, there are system services with unique
-UIDs. however,the system does not go to the extreme of Android, where every
-application has its own UID. All sandboxing (app isolation) in AGL is handled in
-the **MAC** contexts.
-
-## Mandatory Access Control
-
-**M**andatory **A**ccess **C**ontrol (**MAC**) is an extension to **DAC**,
-whereby extended attributes (xattr) are associated with the filesystem. In the
-case of AGL, the smackfs filesystem allows files and directories to be
-associated with a SMACK label, providing the ability of further discrimination
-on access control. A SMACK label is a simple null terminated character string
-with a maximum of 255 bytes. While it doesn’t offer the richness of an SELinux
-label, which provides a user, role,type, and level, the simplicity of a single
-value makes the overall design far less complex. There is arguably less chance
-of the security author making mistakes in the policies set forth.

-# Mandatory Access Control
-
-<!-- section-note -->
-
-We decided to put the **MAC** protection on the platform part despite the fact
-that it applies to the kernel too, since its use will be mainly at the platform
-level (except floor part).
-
-<!-- end-section-note -->
-
-**M**andatory **A**ccess **C**ontrol (**MAC**) is a protection provided by the
-Linux kernel that requires a **L**inux **S**ecurity **M**odule (**LSM**). AGL
-uses an **LSM** called **S**implified **M**andatory **A**ccess **C**ontrol
-**K**ernel (**SMACK**). This protection involves the creation of **SMACK**
-labels as part of the extended attributes **SMACK** labels to the file extended
-attributes. And a policy is also created to define the behaviour of each label.
-
-The kernel access controls is based on these labels and this policy. If there is
-no rule, no access will be granted and as a consequence, what is not explicitly
-authorized is forbidden.
-
-There are two types of **SMACK** labels:
-
-- **Execution SMACK** (Attached to the process): Defines how files are
- _accessed_ and _created_ by that process.
-- **File Access SMACK** (Written to the extended attribute of the file): Defines
- _which_ process can access the file.
-
-By default a process executes with its File Access **SMACK** label unless an
-Execution **SMACK** label is defined.
-
-AGL's **SMACK** scheme is based on the _Tizen 3 Q2/2015_. It divides the System
-into the following domains:
-
-- Floor.
-- System.
-- Applications, Services and User.
-
-See [AGL security framework
-review](http://iot.bzh/download/public/2017/AMMQ1Tokyo/AGL-security-framework-review.pdf)
-and [Smack White
-Paper](http://schaufler-ca.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/SmackWhitePaper.257153003.pdf)
-for more information.
-

-
-<!-- pagebreak -->
-
-## Floor
-
-The _floor_ domain includes the base system services and any associated data and
-libraries. This data remains unchanged at runtime. Writing to floor files or
-directories is allowed only in development mode or during software installation
-or upgrade.
-
-The following table details the _floor_ domain:
-
-Label | Name | Execution **SMACK** | File Access **SMACK**
------ | ----- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------
-`-` | Floor | `r-x` for all | Only kernel and internal kernel thread.
-`^` | Hat | `---` for all | `rx` on all domains.
-`*` | Star | `rwx` for all | None
-
-<!-- section-note -->
-
-- The Hat label is Only for privileged system services (currently only
- systemd-journal). Useful for backup or virus scans. No file with this label
- should exist except in the debug log.
-
-- The Star label is used for device files or `/tmp` Access restriction managed
- via **DAC**. Individual files remain protected by their **SMACK** label.
-
-<!-- end-section-note --> <!-- section-config -->
-
-Domain | `Label` name | Recommendations
------------------- | ------------ | -----------------------------------------------------------
-Kernel-MAC-Floor-1 | `^` | Only for privileged system services.
-Kernel-MAC-Floor-2 | `*` | Used for device files or `/tmp` Access restriction via DAC.
-
-<!-- end-section-config -->
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-<!-- pagebreak -->
-
-## System
-
-The _system_ domain includes a reduced set of core system services of the OS and
-any associated data. This data may change at runtime.
-
-The following table details the _system_ domain:
-
-Label | Name | Execution **SMACK** | File Access **SMACK**
----------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ---------------------
-`System` | System | None | Privileged processes
-`System::Run` | Run | `rwxatl` for User and System label | None
-`System::Shared` | Shared | `rwxatl` for system domain `r-x` for User label | None
-`System::Log` | Log | `rwa` for System label `xa` for user label | None
-`System::Sub` | SubSystem | Subsystem Config files | SubSystem only
-
-<!-- section-config -->
-
-Domain | `Label` name | Recommendations
-------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Kernel-MAC-System-1 | `System` | Process should write only to file with transmute attribute.
-Kernel-MAC-System-2 | `System::run` | Files are created with the directory label from user and system domain (transmute) Lock is implicit with `w`.
-Kernel-MAC-System-3 | `System::Shared` | Files are created with the directory label from system domain (transmute) User domain has locked privilege.
-Kernel-MAC-System-4 | `System::Log` | Some limitation may impose to add `w` to enable append.
-Kernel-MAC-System-5 | `System::Sub` | Isolation of risky Subsystem.

-
-## Applications, Services and User
-
-The _application_, _services_ and _user_ domain includes code that provides
-services to the system and user, as well as any associated data. All code
-running on this domain is under _Cynara_ control.
-
-The following table details the _application_, _services_ and _user_ domain:
-
-Label | Name | Execution **SMACK** | File Access **SMACK**
-------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------
-`User::Pkg::$AppID` | AppID | `rwx` (for files created by the App). `rx` for files installed by **AppFw** | $App runtime executing $App
-`User::Home` | Home | `rwx-t` from System label `r-x-l` from App | None
-`User::App-Shared` | Shared | `rwxat` from System and User domains label of $User | None
-
-<!-- section-config -->
-
-Domain | `Label` name | Recommendations
-------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Kernel-MAC-System-1 | `User::Pkg::$AppID` | Only one Label is allowed per App. A data directory is created by the AppFw in `rwx` mode.
-Kernel-MAC-System-2 | `User::Home` | AppFw needs to create a directory in `/home/$USER/App-Shared` at first launch if not present with label app-data access is `User::App-Shared` without transmute.
-Kernel-MAC-System-3 | `User::App-Shared` | Shared space between all App running for a given user.

-## Attack Vectors
-
-There are 4 major components to the system:
-
-- The LSM kernel module.
-- The `smackfs` filesystem.
-- Basic utilities for policy management and checking.
-- The policy/configuration data.
-
-As with any mandatory access system, the policy management needs to be carefully
-separated from the checking, as the management utilities can become a convenient
-point of attack. Dynamic additions to the policy system need to be carefully
-verified, as the ability to update the policies is often needed, but introduces
-a possible threat. Finally, even if the policy management is well secured, the
-policy checking and failure response to that checking is also of vital
-importance to the smooth operation of the system.
-
-While **MAC** is a certainly a step up in security when compared to DAC, there
-are still many ways to compromise a SMACK-enabled Linux system. Some of these
-ways are as follows:
-
-- Disabling SMACK at invocation of the kernel (with command-line:
- security=none).
-- Disabling SMACK in the kernel build and redeploying the kernel.
-- Changing a SMACK attribute of a file or directory at install time.
-- Tampering with a process with the CAP_MAC_ADMIN privilege.
-- Setting/Re-setting the SMACK label of a file.
-- Tampering with the default domains (i.e.
- /etc/smack/accesses.d/default-access-domains).
-- Disabling or tampering with the SMACK filesystem (i.e. /smackfs).
-- Adding policies with `smackload` (adding the utility if not present).
-- Changing labels with `chsmack` (adding the utility if not present).

- - Dependency resolution to services.
- - `Cgroups` and resource control.
- - `Namespaces` containerization.
- - Autostart of required API.
- - Permissions and security settings.
- - Network management.

-
-## CGroups
-
-Control Groups offer a lot of features, with the most useful ones you can
-control: Memory usage, how much CPU time is allocated, how much device I/O is
-allowed or which devices can be accessed. **SystemD** uses _CGroups_ to organise
-processes (each service is a _CGroups_, and all processes started by that
-service use that _CGroups_). By default, **SystemD** automatically creates a
-hierarchy of slice, scope and service units to provide a unified structure for
-the _CGroups_ tree. With the `systemctl` command, you can further modify this
-structure by creating custom slices. Currently, in AGL, there are 2 slices
-(**user.slice** and **system.slice**).
-
-## Namespaces
-
-### User side
-
-There are several ways of authenticating users (Key Radio Frequency, Phone,
-Gesture, ...). Each authentication provides dynamic allocation of **uids** to
-authenticated users. **Uids** is used to ensure privacy of users and **SMACK**
-for applications privacy.
-
-First, the user initiates authentication with **PAM** activation. **PAM**
-Standard offers highly configurable authentication with modular design like
-face recognition, Voice identification or with a password. Then users should
-access identity services with services and applications.

-# D-Bus
-
-D-Bus is a well-known **IPC** (Inter-Process Communication) protocol (and
-daemon) that helps applications to talk to each other. The use of D-Bus is great
-because it allows to implement discovery and signaling.
-
-The D-Bus session is by default addressed by environment variable
-`DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`. Using **systemd** variable
-`DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` is automatically set for user sessions. D-Bus usage
-is linked to permissions.
-
-D-Bus has already had several [security
-issues](https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-13442/D-bus-Project.html)
-(mostly **DoS** issues), to allow applications to keep talking to each other. It
-is important to protect against this type of attack to keep the system more
-stable.

-# Application framework/model (**AppFw**)
-
-The AGL application framework consists of several inter-working parts:
-
-- **SMACK**: The kernel level **LSM** (**L**inux **S**ecurity **M**odule) that
- performs extended access control of the system.
-- **Cynara**: the native gatekeeper daemon used for policy handling, updating to
- the database and policy checking.
-- Security Manager: a master service, through which all security events are
- intended to take place.
-- Several native application framework utilities: `afm-main-binding`,
- `afm-user-daemon`, `afm-system-daemon`.
-
-The application framework manages:
-
-- The applications and services management: Installing, Uninstalling, Listing,
- ...
-- The life cycle of applications: Start -> (Pause, Resume) -> Stop.
-- Events and signals propagation.
-- Privileges granting and checking.
-- API for interaction with applications.
-
-<!-- section-note -->
-
-- The **security model** refers to the security model used to ensure security
- and to the tools that are provided for implementing that model. It's an
- implementation detail that should not impact the layers above the application
- framework.
-
-- The **security model** refers to how **DAC** (**D**iscretionary **A**ccess
- **C**ontrol), **MAC** (Mandatory Access Control) and `Capabilities` are used
- by the system to ensure security and privacy. It also includes features of
- reporting using audit features and by managing logs and alerts.
-
-<!-- end-section-note -->
-
-The **AppFw** uses the security model to ensure the security and the privacy of
-the applications that it manages. It must be compliant with the underlying
-security model. But it should hide it to the applications.

-The Security Manager communicates policy information to **Cynara**, which
-retains information in its own database in the format of a text file with
-comma-separated values (CSV). There are provisions to retain a copy of the CSV
-text file when the file is being updated.
-
-Runtime checking occurs through **Cynara**. Each application that is added to
-the framework has its own instantiation of a SMACK context and D-bus bindings.
-The afb_daemon and Binder form a web-service that is communicated to through
-http or a websocket from the application-proper. This http or websocket
-interface uses a standard unique web token for API communication.
-
-![Application Framework Flow](App-flow.png)
-
-## Cynara
-
-There's a need for another mechanism responsible for checking applicative
-permissions: Currently in AGL, this task depends on a policy-checker service
-(**Cynara**).
-
-- Stores complex policies in databases.
-- "Soft" security (access is checked by the framework).
-
-Cynara interact with **D-Bus** in order to deliver this information.
-
-Cynara consists of several parts:
-
-- Cynara: a daemon for controlling policies and responding to access control
- requests.
-- Database: a spot to hold policies.
-- Libraries: several static and dynamic libraries for communicating with Cynara.
-
-The daemon communicates to the libraries over Unix domain sockets. The database
-storage format is a series of CSV-like files with an index file.
-
-There are several ways that an attacker can manipulate policies of the Cynara
-system:
-
-- Disable Cynara by killing the process.
-- Tamper with the Cynara binary on-disk or in-memory.
-- Corrupt the database controlled by Cynara.
-- Tamper with the database controlled by Cynara.
-- Highjack the communication between Cynara and the database.
-
-The text-based database is the weakest part of the system and although there are
-some consistency mechanisms in place (i.e. the backup guard), these mechanisms
-are weak at best and can be countered by an attacker very easily.

-Platform-AGLFw-Cynara-1 | Permissions | Use Cynara as policy-checker service.
-
-<!-- end-section-config -->
-
-### Policies
-
-- Policy rules:
-
- - Are simple - for pair [application context, privilege] there is straight
- answer (single Policy Type): [ALLOW / DENY / ...].
- - No code is executed (no script).
- - Can be easily cached and managed.
-
-- Application context (describes id of the user and the application credentials)
- It is build of:
-
- - UID of the user that runs the application.
- - **SMACK** label of application.
-
-## Holding policies
-
-Policies are kept in buckets. Buckets are set of policies which have additional
-a property of default answer, the default answer is yielded if no policy matches
-searched key. Buckets have names which might be used in policies (for
-directions).
-
-## Attack Vectors
-
-The following attack vectors are not completely independent. While attackers may
-have varying levels of access to an AGL system, experience has shown that a
-typical attack can start with direct access to a system, find the
-vulnerabilities, then proceed to automate the attack such that it can be invoked
-from less accessible standpoint (e.g. remotely). Therefore, it is important to
-assess all threat levels, and protect the system appropriately understanding
-that direct access attacks are the door-way into remote attacks.
-
-### Remote Attacks
-
-The local web server interface used for applications is the first point of
-attack, as web service APIs are well understood and easily intercepted. The
-local web server could potentially be exploited by redirecting web requests
-through the local service and exploiting the APIs. While there is the use of a
-security token on the web service API, this is weak textual matching at best.
-This will not be difficult to spoof. It is well known that [API Keys do not
-provide any real security](http://nordicapis.com/why-api-keys-are-not-enough/).
-
-It is likely that the architectural inclusion of an http / web-service interface
-provided the most flexibility for applications to be written natively or in
-HTML5. However, this flexibility may trade-off with security concerns. For
-example, if a native application were linked directly to the underlying
-framework services, there would be fewer concerns over remote attacks coming
-through the web-service interface.
-
-Leaving the interface as designed, mitigations to attacks could include further
-securing the interface layer with cryptographic protocols: e.g. encrypted
-information passing, key exchange (e.g. Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman).
-
-### User-level Native Attacks
-
-- Modifying the CSV data-base
-- Modifying the SQLite DB
-- Tampering with the user-level binaries
-- Tampering with the user daemons
-- Spoofing the D-bus Interface
-- Adding executables/libraries
-
-With direct access to the device, there are many security concerns on the native
-level. For example, as **Cynara** uses a text file data-base with
-comma-separated values (CSV), an attacker could simply modify the data-base to
-escalate privileges of an application. Once a single application has all the
-privileges possible on the system, exploits can come through in this manner.
-Similarly the SQLite database used by the Security Manager is not much different
-than a simple text file. There are many tools available to add, remove, modify
-entries in an SQLite data-base.
-
-On the next level, a common point of attack is to modify binaries or daemons for
-exploiting functionality. There are many Linux tools available to aid in this
-regard, including: [IDA Pro](https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/index.shtml),
-and [radare2](https://rada.re/r/). With the ability to modify binaries, an
-attacker can do any number of activities including: removing calls to security
-checks, redirecting control to bypass verification functionality, ignoring
-security policy handling, escalating privileges, etc.
-
-Additionally, another attack vector would be to spoof the D-bus interface. D-bus
-is a message passing system built upon Inter-Process Communication (IPC), where
-structured messages are passed based upon a protocol. The interface is generic
-and well documented. Therefore, modifying or adding binaries/libraries to spoof
-this interface is a relatively straight-forward process. Once the interface has
-been spoofed, the attacker can issue any number of commands that lead into
-control of low-level functionality.
-
-Protecting a system from native attacks requires a methodical approach. First,
-the system should reject processes that are not sanctioned to run.
-Signature-level verification at installation time will help in this regard, but
-run-time integrity verification is much better. Signatures need to originate
-from authorized parties, which is discussed further in a later section on the
-Application Store.
-
-On the next level, executables should not be allowed to do things where they
-have not been granted permission. DAC and SMACK policies can help in this
-regard. On the other hand, there remain concerns with memory accesses, system
-calls, and other process activity that may go undetected. For this reason, a
-secure environment which monitors all activity can give indication of all
-unauthorized activity on the system.
-
-Finally, it is very difficult to catch attacks of direct tampering in a system.
-These types of attacks require a defense-in-depth approach, where complementary
-software protection and hardening techniques are needed. Tamper-resistance and
-anti-reverse-engineering technologies include program
-transformations/obfuscation, integrity verification, and white-box cryptography.
-If applied in a mutually-dependent fashion and considering performance/security
-tradeoffs, the approach can provide an effective barrier to direct attacks to
-the system. Furthermore, the use of threat monitoring provides a valuable
-telemetry/analytics capability and the ability to react and renew a system under
-attack.
-
-### Root-level Native Attacks
-
-- Tampering the system daemon
-- Tampering Cynara
-- Tampering the security manager
-- Disabling SMACK
-- Tampering the kernel
-
-Once root-level access (i.e. su) has been achieved on the device, there are many
-ways to compromise the system. The system daemon, **Cynara**, and the security
-manager are vulnerable to tampering attacks. For example, an executable can be
-modified in memory to jam a branch, jump to an address, or disregard a check.
-This can be as simple as replacing a branch instruction with a NOP, changing a
-memory value, or using a debugger (e.g. gdb, IDA) to change an instruction.
-Tampering these executables would mean that policies can be ignored and
-verification checks can be bypassed.
-
-Without going so far as to tamper an executable, the **SMACK** system is also
-vulnerable to attack. For example, if the kernel is stopped and restarted with
-the *security=none* flag, then SMACK is not enabled. Furthermore, `systemd`
-starts the loading of **SMACK** rules during start-up. If this start-up process
-is interfered with, then **SMACK** will not run. Alternatively, new policies can
-be added with `smackload` allowing unforseen privileges to alternative
-applications/executables.
-
-Another intrusion on the kernel level is to rebuild the kernel (as it is
-open-source) and replace it with a copy that has **SMACK** disabled, or even
-just the **SMACK** filesystem (`smackfs`) disabled. Without the extended label
-attributes, the **SMACK** system is disabled.
-
-Root-level access to the device has ultimate power, where the entire system can
-be compromised. More so, a system with this level access allows an attacker to
-craft a simpler *point-attack* which can operate on a level requiring fewer
-privileges (e.g. remote access, user-level access).
-
-## Vulnerable Resources
-
-### Resource: `afm-user-daemon`
-
-The `afm-user-daemon` is in charge of handling applications on behalf of a user.
-Its main tasks are:
-
-- Enumerate applications that the end user can run and keep this list available
- on demand.
-- Start applications on behalf of the end user, set user running environment,
- set user security context.
-- List current runnable or running applications.
-- Stop (aka pause), continue (aka resume), terminate a running instance of a
- given application.
-- Transfer requests for installation/uninstallation of applications to the
- corresponding system daemon afm-system-daemon.
-
-The `afm-user-daemon` launches applications. It builds a secure environment for
-the application before starting it within that environment. Different kinds of
-applications can be launched, based on a configuration file that describes how
-to launch an application of a given kind within a given launching mode: local or
-remote. Launching an application locally means that the application and its
-binder are launched together. Launching an application remotely translates in
-only launching the application binder.
-
-The UI by itself has to be activated remotely by a request (i.e. HTML5
-homescreen in a browser). Once launched, running instances of the application
-receive a `runid` that identifies them. `afm-user-daemon` manages the list of
-applications that it has launched. When owning the right permissions, a client
-can get the list of running instances and details about a specific running
-instance. It can also terminate, stop or continue a given application. If the
-client owns the right permissions, `afm-user-daemon` delegates the task of
-installing and uninstalling applications to `afm-system-daemon`.
-
-`afm-user-daemon` is launched as a `systemd` service attached to a user session.
-Normally, the service file is located at
-/usr/lib/systemd/user/afm-user-daemon.service.
-
-Attacker goals:
-
-- Disable `afm-user-daemon`.
-- Tamper with the `afm-user-daemon` configuration.
- - /usr/lib/systemd/user/afm-user-daemon.service.
- - Application(widget) config.xml file.
- - /etc/afm/afm-launch.conf (launcher configuration).
-
-- Escalate user privileges to gain more access with `afm-user-daemon`.
-- Install malicious application (widget).
-- Tamper with `afm-user-daemon` on disk or in memory.
-
-### Resource: `afm-system-daemon`
-
-The `afm-system-daemon` is in charge of installing applications on the AGL
-system. Its main tasks are:
-
-- Install applications and setup security framework for newly installed
- applications.
-- Uninstall applications.
-
-`afm-system-daemon` is launched as a `systemd` service attached to system.
-Normally, the service file is located at
-/lib/systemd/system/afm-systemdaemon.service.
-
-Attacker goals:
-
-- Disable `afm-system-daemon`.
-- Tamper with the `afm-system-daemon` configuration.
-- Tamper `afm-system-daemon` on disk or in memory.
-
-### Resource `afb-daemon`
-
-`afb-binder` is in charge of serving resources and features through an HTTP
-interface. `afb-daemon` is in charge of binding one instance of an application
-to the AGL framework and AGL system. The application and its companion binder
-run in a secured and isolated environment set for them. Applications are
-intended to access to AGL system through the binder. `afb-daemon` binders serve
-files through HTTP protocol and offers developers the capability to expose
-application API methods through HTTP or WebSocket protocol.
-
-Binder bindings are used to add APIs to `afb-daemon`. The user can write a
-binding for `afb-daemon`. The binder `afb-daemon` serves multiple purposes:
-
-1. It acts as a gateway for the application to access the system.
-2. It acts as an HTTP server for serving files to HTML5 applications.
-3. It allows HTML5 applications to have native extensions subject to security
- enforcement for accessing hardware resources or for speeding up parts of
- algorithm.
-
-Attacker goals:
-
-- Break from isolation.
-- Disable `afb-daemon`.
-- Tamper `afb-demon` on disk or in memory.
-- Tamper **capabilities** by creating/installing custom bindings for
- `afb-daemon`. \ No newline at end of file

-
-If the main application is allowed to execute at any capability, then the entire
-system is at the mercy of the said application's good behaviour. Problems arise
-when an application is compromised and able to execute commands which could
-consistently and persistently compromise the system by implanting rogue
-applications.
-
-It is suggested that the middleware and the UI should run in a context on a user
-with no capability and all persistent resources should be maintained without any
-capability.
-
-One way to ensure this is by implementing a server-client paradigm. Services
-provided by the system's drivers can be shared this way. The other advantage of
-this approach is that multiple applications can share the same resources at the
-same time.

-# Bus
-
-We only speak about the **CAN** bus to take an example, because the different
-attacks on bus like _FlewRay_, _ByteFlight_, _Most_ and _Lin_ use retro
-engineering and the main argument to improve their security is to encrypt data
-packets. We just describe them a bit:
-
-- **CAN**: Controller Area Network, developed in the early 1980s, is an
- event-triggered controller network for serial communication with data rates up
- to one MBit/s. **CAN** messages are classified over their respective
- identifier. **CAN** controller broadcast their messages to all connected nodes
- and all receiving nodes decide independently if they process the message.
-- **FlewRay**: Is a deterministic and error-tolerant high-speed bus. With a data
- rate up to 10 MBit/s.
-- **ByteFlight**: Is used for safety-critical applications in motor vehicles
- like air-bags. Byteflight runs at 10Mbps over 2 or 3 wires plastic optical
- fibers.
-- **Most**: Media Oriented System Transport, is used for transmitting audio,
- video, voice, and control data via fiber optic cables. The speed is, for the
- synchronous way, up to 24 MBit/s and asynchronous way up to 14 MBit/s.
- **MOST** messages include always a clear sender and receiver address.
-- **LIN**: Local Interconnect Network, is a single-wire subnet work for
- low-cost, serial communication between smart sensors and actuators with
- typical data rates up to 20 kBit/s. It is intended to be used from the year
- 2001 on everywhere in a car, where the bandwidth and versatility of a **CAN**
- network is not required.
-
-On just about every vehicle, **ECU**s (**E**lectronic **C**ontrol **U**nits)
-communicate over a CAN bus, which is a two-wire bus using hardware arbitration
-for messages sent on the shared medium. This is essentially a *trusted* network
-where all traffic is visible to all controllers and any controller can send any
-message.
-
-A malicious **ECU** on the CAN bus can easily inject messages destined for any
-other device, including things like the instrument cluster and the head unit.
-There are common ways for hardware to do USB to CAN and open source software to
-send and receive messages. For example, there is a driver included in the Linux
-kernel that can be used to send/receive CAN signals. A malicious device on the
-CAN bus can cause a great number of harmful things to happen to the system,
-including: sending bogus information to other devices, sending unintended
-commands to ECUs, causing DOS (Denial Of Service) on the CAN bus, etc.

-for more information.
-
-# Connectors
-
-For the connectors, we supposed that they were disabled by default. For example,
-the **USB** must be disabled to avoid attacks like BadUSB. If not, configure the
-Kernel to only enable the minimum require **USB** devices. The connectors used
-to diagnose the car like **OBD-II** must be disabled outside garages.

-## Wifi
-
-### Attacks
-
-We can differentiate existing attacks on wifi in two categories: Those on
-**WEP** and those on **WPA**.
-
-- **WEP** attacks:
-
- - **FMS**: (**F**luhrer, **M**antin and **S**hamir attack) is a "Stream cipher
- attack on the widely used RC4 stream cipher. The attack allows an attacker
- to recover the key in an RC4 encrypted stream from a large number of
- messages in that stream."
- - **KoreK**: "Allows the attacker to reduce the key space".
- - **PTW**: (**P**yshkin **T**ews **W**einmann attack).
- - **Chopchop**: Found by KoreK, "Weakness of the CRC32 checksum and the lack
- of replay protection."
- - **Fragmentation**
-
-- **WPA** attacks:
-
- - **Beck and Tews**: Exploit weakness in **TKIP**. "Allow the attacker to
- decrypt **ARP** packets and to inject traffic into a network, even allowing
- him to perform a **DoS** or an **ARP** poisoning".
- - [KRACK](https://github.com/kristate/krackinfo): (K)ey (R)einstallation
- (A)tta(ck) ([jira AGL
- SPEC-1017](https://jira.automotivelinux.org/browse/SPEC-1017)).
-
-### Recommendations
-
-- Do not use **WEP**, **PSK** and **TKIP**.
-
-- Use **WPA2** with **CCMP**.
-
-- Should protect data sniffing.
-
-<!-- section-config -->

-Connectivity-Wireless-Wifi-2 | WPA2 and AES-CCMP | Used
-Connectivity-Wireless-Wifi-3 | WPA2 | Should protect data sniffing.
-Connectivity-Wireless-Wifi-4 | PSK | Changing regularly the password.
-Connectivity-Wireless-Wifi-5 | Device | Upgraded easily in software or firmware to have the last security update.

-
-## Bluetooth
-
-### Attacks
-
-- **Bluesnarfing** attacks involve an attacker covertly gaining access to your
- Bluetooth-enabled device for the purpose of retrieving information, including
- addresses, calendar information or even the device's **I**nternational
- **M**obile **E**quipment **I**dentity. With the **IMEI**, an attacker could
- route your incoming calls to his cell phone.
-- **Bluebugging** is a form of Bluetooth attack often caused by a lack of
- awareness. Similar to bluesnarfing, bluebugging accesses and uses all phone
- features but is limited by the transmitting power of class 2 Bluetooth radios,
- normally capping its range at 10-15 meters.
-- **Bluejacking** is the sending of unsolicited messages.
-- **BLE**: **B**luetooth **L**ow **E**nergy
- [attacks](https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/woot13/woot13-ryan.pdf).
-- **DoS**: Drain a device's battery or temporarily paralyze the phone.
-
-### Recommendations
-
-- Not allowing Bluetooth pairing attempts without the driver's first manually
- placing the vehicle in pairing mode.
-- Monitoring.
-- Use **BLE** with caution.
-- For v2.1 and later devices using **S**ecure **S**imple **P**airing (**SSP**),
- avoid using the "Just Works" association model. The device must verify that an
- authenticated link key was generated during pairing.

-### Attacks
-
-- **IMSI-Catcher**: Is a telephone eavesdropping device used for intercepting
- mobile phone traffic and tracking location data of mobile phone users.
- Essentially a "fake" mobile tower acting between the target mobile phone and
- the service provider's real towers, it is considered a man-in-the-middle
- (**MITM**) attack.
-
-- Lack of mutual authentication (**GPRS**/**EDGE**) and encryption with
- **GEA0**.
-
-- **Fall back** from **UMTS**/**HSPA** to **GPRS**/**EDGE** (Jamming against
- **UMTS**/**HSPA**).

-## Infrastructure
-
-- **Deep Packet Inspection**: **DPI** provides techniques to analyze the payload
- of each packet, adding an extra layer of security. **DPI** can detect and
- neutralize attacks that would be missed by other security mechanisms.
-
-- A **DoS** protection in order to avoid that the Infrastructure is no more
- accessible for a period of time.
-
-- **Scanning tools** such as **SATS** and **DAST** assessments perform
- vulnerability scans on the source code and data flows on web applications.
- Many of these scanning tools run different security tests that stress
- applications under certain attack scenarios to discover security issues.
-
-- **IDS & IPS**: **IDS** detect and log inappropriate, incorrect, or anomalous
- activity. **IDS** can be located in the telecommunications networks and/or
- within the host server or computer. Telecommunications carriers build
- intrusion detection capability in all network connections to routers and
- servers, as well as offering it as a service to enterprise customers. Once
- **IDS** systems have identified an attack, **IPS** ensures that malicious
- packets are blocked before they cause any harm to backend systems and
- networks. **IDS** typically functions via one or more of three systems:

-## Transport
-
-For data transport, it is necessary to **encrypt data end-to-end**. To prevent
-**MITM** attacks, no third party should be able to interpret transported data.
-Another aspect is the data anonymization in order to protect the leakage of
-private information on the user or any other third party.
-
-The use of standards such as **IPSec** provides "_private and secure
-communications over IP networks, through the use of cryptographic security
-services, is a set of protocols using algorithms to transport secure data over
-an IP network._". In addition, **IPSec** operates at the network layer of the
-**OSI** model, contrary to previous standards that operate at the application
-layer. This makes its application independent and means that users do not need
-to configure each application to **IPSec** standards.
-
-**IPSec** provides the services below :
-
-- Confidentiality: A service that makes it impossible to interpret data if it is
- not the recipient. It is the encryption function that provides this service by
- transforming intelligible (unencrypted) data into unintelligible (encrypted)
- data.
-- Authentication: A service that ensures that a piece of data comes from where
- it is supposed to come from.
-- Integrity: A service that consists in ensuring that data has not been tampered
- with accidentally or fraudulently.
-- Replay Protection: A service that prevents attacks by re-sending a valid
- intercepted packet to the network for the same authorization. This service is
- provided by the presence of a sequence number.
-- Key management: Mechanism for negotiating the length of encryption keys
- between two **IPSec** elements and exchange of these keys.
-
-An additional means of protection would be to do the monitoring between users
-and the cloud as a **CASB** will provide.

-# Firmware Over The Air
-
-The firmware update is critical since its alteration back to compromise the
-entire system. It is therefore necessary to take appropriate protective
-measures.
-
-AGL includes the _meta-updater_ Yocto layer that enables OTA software updates
-via [Uptane](https://uptane.github.io), an automotive-specific extension to [The
-Update Framework](https://theupdateframework.github.io/). Uptane and TUF are
-open standards that define a secure protocol for delivering and verifying
-updates even when the servers and network--internet and car-internal--aren't
-fully trusted.
-
-_meta-updater_ includes the application
-[`aktualizr`](https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr), developed
-Advanced Telematic Systems (now part of HERE Technologies) that enables OTA for
-an ECU. `aktualizr` combined with Uptane is suitable for updating the firmware,
-software, and other packages on even functionally critical ECUs. `aktualizr` can
-be enabled with the free, open souce backend
-[`ota-community-edition`](https://github.com/advancedtelematic/ota-community-edition).
-
-This FOTA update mechanism can be enabled through the `agl-sota` feature.
-
-## Building
-
-To build an AGL image that uses `aktualizr`, the following can be used.
-
-```
-source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m <machine> agl-sota <other-features...>
-```
-
-During the build, _meta-updater_ will use credentials downloaded from
-`ota-community-edition` to sign metadata verifying the build as authentic. These
-signatures are part of the Uptane framework and are used to verify FOTA updates.
-
-## Atomic Upgrades with Rollbacks
-
-`aktualizr`'s primary method of updating firmware is to use `libostree` with
-binary diffs. The binary diffs use the least amout of bandwidth, and by it's
-nature `libostree` stores current and previous firmware versions on disk or in
-flash memory to allow for rollbacks.
-
-`libostree` is a content addressable object store much like `git`. Versions are
-specified via SHA2-256. These hashes are signed in the Uptane metadata and are
-robust against cryptographic compromise.

-Software updates in connected vehicles are a very useful feature, which can

-updates can incur serious vulnerabilities. Any software update system must
-ensure that not only are the software updates to devices done in a secure way,
-but also that the repositories and servers hosting these updates are adequately
-protected. As the process of updating software migrates from a Dealership update
-model towards an **OTA** update model, securing these processes becomes a high

+--------------- | ----------------------------------------------------
+Boot-Abstract-1 | More generic and add examples (The chain of trust).
+
+Secure boot refers to preventing malicious software applications and
+“unauthorized” operating systems from loading during the system start-up
+process. The goal is to protect users from rootkits and other low-level malware
+attacks. Modern bootloaders come with features that can be used to enable secure
+boot in the system.
+
+**Boot Hardening**: Steps/requirements to configure the boot sequence, in order
+to restrict the device from executing anything other than the approved software
+image.
+
+In this part, we will see a series of settings that will allow us to improve
+security during boot phase. For the purposes of reference and explanation, we
+are providing guidance on how to configure an embedded device that runs with a
+3.10.17 Linux kernel. If the integrity is not checked or if a critical error
+occurs, the system must boot on a very stable backup image.
+
+**Requirements**: These requirements must be met even if an alternative version
+of the Linux kernel is chosen.
+
+**Recommendations**: Detailed best practices that should be applied in order to
+secure a device. Although they are not currently listed as hard requirements,
+they may be upgraded to requirements status in the future. In addition, specific
+operators may change some of these recommendations into requirements based on
+their specific needs and objectives.

+Boot-Abstract-1 | Review the definition of the "boot loader".
+
+**Boot loader**: The boot loader consists of the Primary boot loader residing in
+**OTP** memory, sboot, U-Boot and Secure loader residing in external flash (NAND
+or SPI/NOR flash memory). The CPU on power on or reset executes the primary boot
+loader. The **OTP** primary boot loader makes the necessary initial system
+configuration and then loads the secondary boot loader sboot from external flash
+memory to ram memory. The sboot then loads the U-Boot along with the Secure
+loader. U-Boot then verifies the Kernel/system image integrity, then loads the
+Kernel/system image before passing control to it.

+title: Kernel
+---
+
+**System Hardening:** Best practices associated with the configuration of an
+embedded Linux based operating system. This section includes both hardening of
+the kernel itself, as well as specific configurations and patches used to
+protect against known vulnerabilities within the build and configuration of the
+root filesystem.
+
+At the Kernel level, we must ensure that no console can be launched. It could be
+used to change the behavior of the system or to have more information about it.
+Another aspect is the protection of the memory used by the Kernel.
+
+The next sub-sections contain information on various kernel configuration
+options to enhance the security in the kernel (3.10.17) and also for
+applications compiled to take advantage of these security features.
+Additionally, there are also configuration options that protect from known
+vulnerable configuration options. Here's a high level summary of various kernel
+configurations that shall be required for deployment.
+
+## Kernel Version
+
+The choice of kernel version for the AGL system is essential to its security.
+Depending on the type of board and eventual production system, different kernel
+versions are used. For example, one of the systems under study uses the Linux
+kernel version 3.10, while another uses the Linux kernel version 4.4. For the
+Linux kernel version 3.10.31, there are 25 known vulnerabilities. These
+vulnerabilities would allow an attacker to gain privileges, bypass access
+restrictions, allow memory to be corrupted, or cause denial of service. In
+contrast, the Linux kernel version of 4.4 has many fewer known vulnerabilities.
+For this reason, we would in general recommend the later kernel version as a
+basis for the platform.
+
+Note that, although there are fewer known vulnerabilities in the most recent
+kernel versions there may be many unknown vulnerabilities underlying. A rule of
+thumb is to update the kernel as much as possible to avoid the problems you do
+know, but you should not be complacent in the trust that you place in it. A
+defense-in-depth approach would then apply.
+
+If there are constraints and dependencies in upgrading to a newer kernel version
+(e.g. device drivers, board support providers) and you are forced to an older
+Linux kernel version, there need to be additional provisions made to reduce the
+risk of kernel exploits, which can include memory monitoring, watch-dog
+services, and system call hooking. In this case, further defense-in-depth
+techniques may be required to mitigate the risk of attacks to known
+vulnerabilities, which can also include runtime integrity verification of
+components that are vulnerable to tampering.
+
+## Kernel Build Configuration
+
+The kernel build configuration is extremely important for determining the level
+of access to services and to reduce the breadth of the attack surface. Linux
+contains a great and flexible number of capabilities and this is only controlled

+allows kernel modules to be loaded at runtime extending the capabilities of the

+
+There are some Kernel Configs which are present only to support legacy binaries.
+See also "Consoles" part in order to disabling support for legacy binary
+formats. The `uselib` system call, in particular, has no valid use in any
+`libc6` or `uclibc` system in recent times. This configuration is supported in

+
+The firmware auto loading helper, which is a utility executed by the kernel on
+`hotplug` events requiring firmware, can to be set `setuid`. As a result of

+
+## Enable Enforced Module Signing
+
+The kernel should never allow an unprivileged user the ability to load specific
+kernel modules, since that would provide a facility to unexpectedly extend the
+available attack surface.
+
+To protect against even privileged users, systems may need to either disable
+module loading entirely, or provide signed modules (e.g.
+`CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE`, or dm-crypt with LoadPin), to keep from having root
+load arbitrary kernel code via the module loader interface.
+
+This configuration is supported in **Linux 3.7 and greater** and thus should
+only be enabled for such versions.

+## Prevent Overwrite Attacks
+
+`-z,relro` linking option helps during program load, several ELF memory sections
+need to be written by the linker, but can be turned read-only before turning
+over control to the program. This prevents some Global Offset Table GOT
+overwrite attacks, or in the dtors section of the ELF binary.

+Kernel-General-OverwriteAttacks-1 | `-z,relro` | _Enable_
+Kernel-General-OverwriteAttacks-2 | `-z,now` | _Enable_
+
+
+
+During program load, all dynamic symbols are resolved, allowing for the complete
+GOT to be marked read-only (due to `-z relro` above). This prevents GOT
+overwrite attacks. For very large application, this can incur some performance
+loss during initial load while symbols are resolved, but this shouldn't be an
+issue for daemons.

+
+
+
+## Library linking
+
+
+
+Domain | Improvement
+------------------------------- | ---------------
+Kernel-General-LibraryLinking-1 | Keep this part?
+
+
+
+It is recommended that dynamic linking should generally not be allowed. This
+will avoid the user from replacing a library with malicious library.

+
+
+Domain | Object | Recommendations
+------------------------------- | --------------- | --------------------------------
+Kernel-General-LibraryLinking-1 | Dynamic linking | Should generally not be allowed.
+
+Linking everything statically doesn't change anything wrt security as binaries
+will live under same user:group as libraries and setuid executables ignore
+`LD_PRELOAD/LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. It also increases RSS footprint and creates
+problems with upgrading.
+
+# Memory
+
+## Restrict access to kernel memory
+
+The /dev/kmem file in Linux systems is directly mapped to kernel virtual memory.
+This can be disastrous if an attacker gains root access, as the attacker would
+have direct access to kernel virtual memory.
+
+To disable the /dev/kmem file, which is very infrequently used by applications,
+the following kernel option should be set in the compile-time kernel
+configuration:
+
+Domain | `Config` name | `Value`
+------------------------------ | ---------------- | -------
+Kernel-Memory-RestrictAccess-1 | `CONFIG_DEVKMEM` | `n`

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+
+## Disable "Load All Symbols"
+
+There is a /proc/kallsyms file which exposes the kernel memory space address of
+many kernel symbols (functions, variables, etc...). This information is useful
+to attackers in identifying kernel versions/configurations and in preparing
+payloads for the exploits of kernel space.

+## Stack protection
+
+To prevent stack-smashing, similar to the stack protector used for ELF programs
+in user-space, the kernel can protect its internal stacks as well.
+
+This configuration is supported in **Linux 3.11 and greater** and thus should
+only be enabled for such versions.

+The /dev/mem file in Linux systems is directly mapped to physical memory. This
+can be disastrous if an attacker gains root access, as the attacker would have
+direct access to physical memory through this convenient device file. It may not
+always be possible to disable such file, as some applications might need such
+support. In that case, then this device file should be available only for

+
+The kernel command-line is used to control many aspects of the booting kernel,

+title: Platform
+---
+
+The Automotive Grade Linux platform is a Linux distribution with **AGL**
+compliant applications and services. The platform includes the following
+software:
+
+- Linux **BSP** configured for reference boards.
+- Proprietary device drivers for common peripherals on reference boards.
+- Application framework.
+- Windows/layer management (graphics).
+- Sound resource management.
+- An atomic software update system (chapter Update).
+- Building and debug tools (based on Yocto project).
+
+
+
+Domain | Improvement
+------------------- | --------------------------------
+Platform-Abstract-1 | Create a graphics and sound part.
+
+
+
+This part focuses on the AGL platform including all tools and techniques used to
+upgrade the security and downgrade the danger. It must be possible to apply the
+two fundamental principles written at the very beginning of the document. First
+of all, security management must remain simple. You must also prohibit
+everything by default, and then define a set of authorization rules. As cases to
+deal with, we must:
+
+- Implement a **MAC** for processes and files.
+- Limit communication between applications (_SystemBus_ and _SystemD_ part).
+- Prohibit all tools used during development mode (_Utilities_ and _Services_
+ part).
+- Manage user capabilities (_Users_ part).
+- Manage application permissions and policies (_AGLFw_ part).
+
+
+
+The tools and concepts used to meet these needs are only examples. Any other
+tool that meets the need can be used.
+
+
+
+In AGL, as in many other embedded systems, different security mechanisms settle
+in the core layers to ensure isolation and data privacy. While the Mandatory
+Access Control layer (**SMACK**) provides global security and isolation, other
+mechanisms like **Cynara** are required to check application's permissions at
+runtime. Applicative permissions (also called "_privileges_") may vary depending
+on the user and the application being run: an application should have access to
+a given service only if it is run by the proper user and if the appropriate
+permissions are granted.
+
+## Discretionary Access Control
+
+**D**iscretionary **A**ccess **C**ontrol (**DAC**) is the traditional Linux
+method of separating users and groups from one another. In a shared environment
+where multiple users have access to a computer or network, Unix IDs have offered
+a way to contain access within privilege areas for individuals, or shared among
+the group or system. The Android system took this one step further, assigning
+new user IDs for each App. This was never the original intention of Linux UIDs,
+but was able to provide Android’s initial security element: the ability to
+sandbox applications.
+
+Although AGL mentions use of **DAC** for security isolation, the weight of the
+security responsibility lies in the **M**andatory **A**ccess **C**ontrol
+(**MAC**) and **Cynara**. Furthermore, there are system services with unique
+UIDs. however,the system does not go to the extreme of Android, where every
+application has its own UID. All sandboxing (app isolation) in AGL is handled in
+the **MAC** contexts.
+
+## Mandatory Access Control
+
+**M**andatory **A**ccess **C**ontrol (**MAC**) is an extension to **DAC**,
+whereby extended attributes (xattr) are associated with the filesystem. In the
+case of AGL, the smackfs filesystem allows files and directories to be
+associated with a SMACK label, providing the ability of further discrimination
+on access control. A SMACK label is a simple null terminated character string
+with a maximum of 255 bytes. While it doesn’t offer the richness of an SELinux
+label, which provides a user, role,type, and level, the simplicity of a single
+value makes the overall design far less complex. There is arguably less chance
+of the security author making mistakes in the policies set forth.

+# Mandatory Access Control
+
+
+
+We decided to put the **MAC** protection on the platform part despite the fact
+that it applies to the kernel too, since its use will be mainly at the platform
+level (except floor part).
+
+
+
+**M**andatory **A**ccess **C**ontrol (**MAC**) is a protection provided by the
+Linux kernel that requires a **L**inux **S**ecurity **M**odule (**LSM**). AGL
+uses an **LSM** called **S**implified **M**andatory **A**ccess **C**ontrol
+**K**ernel (**SMACK**). This protection involves the creation of **SMACK**
+labels as part of the extended attributes **SMACK** labels to the file extended
+attributes. And a policy is also created to define the behaviour of each label.
+
+The kernel access controls is based on these labels and this policy. If there is
+no rule, no access will be granted and as a consequence, what is not explicitly
+authorized is forbidden.
+
+There are two types of **SMACK** labels:
+
+- **Execution SMACK** (Attached to the process): Defines how files are
+ _accessed_ and _created_ by that process.
+- **File Access SMACK** (Written to the extended attribute of the file): Defines
+ _which_ process can access the file.
+
+By default a process executes with its File Access **SMACK** label unless an
+Execution **SMACK** label is defined.
+
+AGL's **SMACK** scheme is based on the _Tizen 3 Q2/2015_. It divides the System
+into the following domains:
+
+- Floor.
+- System.
+- Applications, Services and User.
+
+See [AGL security framework
+review](http://iot.bzh/download/public/2017/AMMQ1Tokyo/AGL-security-framework-review.pdf)
+and [Smack White
+Paper](http://schaufler-ca.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/SmackWhitePaper.257153003.pdf)
+for more information.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+
+## Floor
+
+The _floor_ domain includes the base system services and any associated data and
+libraries. This data remains unchanged at runtime. Writing to floor files or
+directories is allowed only in development mode or during software installation
+or upgrade.
+
+The following table details the _floor_ domain:
+
+Label | Name | Execution **SMACK** | File Access **SMACK**
+----- | ----- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------
+`-` | Floor | `r-x` for all | Only kernel and internal kernel thread.
+`^` | Hat | `---` for all | `rx` on all domains.
+`*` | Star | `rwx` for all | None
+
+
+
+- The Hat label is Only for privileged system services (currently only
+ systemd-journal). Useful for backup or virus scans. No file with this label
+ should exist except in the debug log.
+
+- The Star label is used for device files or `/tmp` Access restriction managed
+ via **DAC**. Individual files remain protected by their **SMACK** label.
+
+
+
+Domain | `Label` name | Recommendations
+------------------ | ------------ | -----------------------------------------------------------
+Kernel-MAC-Floor-1 | `^` | Only for privileged system services.
+Kernel-MAC-Floor-2 | `*` | Used for device files or `/tmp` Access restriction via DAC.
+
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+
+## System
+
+The _system_ domain includes a reduced set of core system services of the OS and
+any associated data. This data may change at runtime.
+
+The following table details the _system_ domain:
+
+Label | Name | Execution **SMACK** | File Access **SMACK**
+---------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ---------------------
+`System` | System | None | Privileged processes
+`System::Run` | Run | `rwxatl` for User and System label | None
+`System::Shared` | Shared | `rwxatl` for system domain `r-x` for User label | None
+`System::Log` | Log | `rwa` for System label `xa` for user label | None
+`System::Sub` | SubSystem | Subsystem Config files | SubSystem only
+
+
+
+Domain | `Label` name | Recommendations
+------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Kernel-MAC-System-1 | `System` | Process should write only to file with transmute attribute.
+Kernel-MAC-System-2 | `System::run` | Files are created with the directory label from user and system domain (transmute) Lock is implicit with `w`.
+Kernel-MAC-System-3 | `System::Shared` | Files are created with the directory label from system domain (transmute) User domain has locked privilege.
+Kernel-MAC-System-4 | `System::Log` | Some limitation may impose to add `w` to enable append.
+Kernel-MAC-System-5 | `System::Sub` | Isolation of risky Subsystem.
+
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+
+## Applications, Services and User
+
+The _application_, _services_ and _user_ domain includes code that provides
+services to the system and user, as well as any associated data. All code
+running on this domain is under _Cynara_ control.
+
+The following table details the _application_, _services_ and _user_ domain:
+
+Label | Name | Execution **SMACK** | File Access **SMACK**
+------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------
+`User::Pkg::$AppID` | AppID | `rwx` (for files created by the App). `rx` for files installed by **AppFw** | $App runtime executing $App
+`User::Home` | Home | `rwx-t` from System label `r-x-l` from App | None
+`User::App-Shared` | Shared | `rwxat` from System and User domains label of $User | None
+
+
+
+Domain | `Label` name | Recommendations
+------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Kernel-MAC-System-1 | `User::Pkg::$AppID` | Only one Label is allowed per App. A data directory is created by the AppFw in `rwx` mode.
+Kernel-MAC-System-2 | `User::Home` | AppFw needs to create a directory in `/home/$USER/App-Shared` at first launch if not present with label app-data access is `User::App-Shared` without transmute.
+Kernel-MAC-System-3 | `User::App-Shared` | Shared space between all App running for a given user.
+
+
+
+## Attack Vectors
+
+There are 4 major components to the system:
+
+- The LSM kernel module.
+- The `smackfs` filesystem.
+- Basic utilities for policy management and checking.
+- The policy/configuration data.
+
+As with any mandatory access system, the policy management needs to be carefully
+separated from the checking, as the management utilities can become a convenient
+point of attack. Dynamic additions to the policy system need to be carefully
+verified, as the ability to update the policies is often needed, but introduces
+a possible threat. Finally, even if the policy management is well secured, the
+policy checking and failure response to that checking is also of vital
+importance to the smooth operation of the system.
+
+While **MAC** is a certainly a step up in security when compared to DAC, there
+are still many ways to compromise a SMACK-enabled Linux system. Some of these
+ways are as follows:
+
+- Disabling SMACK at invocation of the kernel (with command-line:
+ security=none).
+- Disabling SMACK in the kernel build and redeploying the kernel.
+- Changing a SMACK attribute of a file or directory at install time.
+- Tampering with a process with the CAP_MAC_ADMIN privilege.
+- Setting/Re-setting the SMACK label of a file.
+- Tampering with the default domains (i.e.
+ /etc/smack/accesses.d/default-access-domains).
+- Disabling or tampering with the SMACK filesystem (i.e. /smackfs).
+- Adding policies with `smackload` (adding the utility if not present).
+- Changing labels with `chsmack` (adding the utility if not present).
+
+# SystemD
+
+`afm-system-daemon` is used to:
+
+- Manage users and user sessions.
+- Setup applications and services (_CGroups_, _namespaces_, autostart,
+ permissions).
+- Use of `libsystemd` for its programs (event management, **D-Bus** interface).
+
+
+
+Domain | Object | Recommendations
+------------------ | -------------- | ------------------------------------
+Platform-SystemD-1 | Security model | Use Namespaces for containerization.
+Platform-SystemD-2 | Security model | Use CGroups to organise processes.
+
+
+
+See [systemd integration and user
+management](http://iot.bzh/download/public/2017/AMM-Dresden/AGL-systemd.pdf) for
+more information.
+
+## Benefits
+
+- Removal of one privileged process: **afm-user-daemon**
+- Access and use of high level features:
+
+ - Socket activation.
+ - Management of users and integration of **PAM**.
+ - Dependency resolution to services.
+ - `Cgroups` and resource control.
+ - `Namespaces` containerization.
+ - Autostart of required API.
+ - Permissions and security settings.
+ - Network management.
+
+
+
+## CGroups
+
+Control Groups offer a lot of features, with the most useful ones you can
+control: Memory usage, how much CPU time is allocated, how much device I/O is
+allowed or which devices can be accessed. **SystemD** uses _CGroups_ to organise
+processes (each service is a _CGroups_, and all processes started by that
+service use that _CGroups_). By default, **SystemD** automatically creates a
+hierarchy of slice, scope and service units to provide a unified structure for
+the _CGroups_ tree. With the `systemctl` command, you can further modify this
+structure by creating custom slices. Currently, in AGL, there are 2 slices
+(**user.slice** and **system.slice**).
+
+## Namespaces
+
+### User side
+
+There are several ways of authenticating users (Key Radio Frequency, Phone,
+Gesture, ...). Each authentication provides dynamic allocation of **uids** to
+authenticated users. **Uids** is used to ensure privacy of users and **SMACK**
+for applications privacy.
+
+First, the user initiates authentication with **PAM** activation. **PAM**
+Standard offers highly configurable authentication with modular design like face
+recognition, Voice identification or with a password. Then users should access
+identity services with services and applications.
+
+# D-Bus
+
+D-Bus is a well-known **IPC** (Inter-Process Communication) protocol (and
+daemon) that helps applications to talk to each other. The use of D-Bus is great
+because it allows to implement discovery and signaling.
+
+The D-Bus session is by default addressed by environment variable
+`DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`. Using **systemd** variable
+`DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` is automatically set for user sessions. D-Bus usage
+is linked to permissions.
+
+D-Bus has already had several [security
+issues](https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-13442/D-bus-Project.html)
+(mostly **DoS** issues), to allow applications to keep talking to each other. It
+is important to protect against this type of attack to keep the system more
+stable.
+
+
+
+
+Domain | Object | Recommendations
+--------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------
+Platform-DBus-1 | Security model | Use D-Bus as IPC.
+Platform-DBus-2 | Security model | Apply D-BUS security patches: [D-Bus CVE](https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-13442/D-bus-Project.html)

+## Tools
+
+- **connman**: An internet connection manager designed to be slim and to use as
+ few resources as possible. It is a fully modular system that can be extended,
+ through plug-ins, to support all kinds of wired or wireless technologies.
+- **bluez** is a Bluetooth stack. Its goal is to program an implementation of
+ the Bluetooth wireless standards specifications. In addition to the basic
+ stack, the `bluez-utils` and `bluez-firmware` packages contain low level
+ utilities such as `dfutool` which can interrogate the Bluetooth adapter
+ chipset in order to determine whether its firmware can be upgraded.
+- **gstreamer** is a pipeline-based multimedia framework. It can be used to
+ build a system that reads files in one format, processes them, and exports
+ them in another format.
+- **alsa** is a software framework and part of the Linux kernel that provides an
+ **API** for sound card device drivers.
+
+
+
+Domain | `Tool` name | _State_
+-------------------- | ----------- | -------
+Platform-Utilities-1 | `connman` | _Used_ as a connection manager.
+Platform-Utilities-2 | `bluez` | _Used_ as a Bluetooth manager.
+Platform-Utilities-3 | `gstreamer` | _Used_ to manage multimedia file format.
+Platform-Utilities-4 | `alsa` | _Used_ to provides an API for sound card device drivers.
+
+
+
+# Application framework/model (**AppFw**)
+
+The AGL application framework consists of several inter-working parts:
+
+- **SMACK**: The kernel level **LSM** (**L**inux **S**ecurity **M**odule) that
+ performs extended access control of the system.
+- **Cynara**: the native gatekeeper daemon used for policy handling, updating to
+ the database and policy checking.
+- Security Manager: a master service, through which all security events are
+ intended to take place.
+- Several native application framework utilities: `afm-main-binding`,
+ `afm-user-daemon`, `afm-system-daemon`.
+
+The application framework manages:
+
+- The applications and services management: Installing, Uninstalling, Listing,
+ ...
+- The life cycle of applications: Start -> (Pause, Resume) -> Stop.
+- Events and signals propagation.
+- Privileges granting and checking.
+- API for interaction with applications.
+
+
+
+- The **security model** refers to the security model used to ensure security
+ and to the tools that are provided for implementing that model. It's an
+ implementation detail that should not impact the layers above the application
+ framework.
+
+- The **security model** refers to how **DAC** (**D**iscretionary **A**ccess
+ **C**ontrol), **MAC** (Mandatory Access Control) and `Capabilities` are used
+ by the system to ensure security and privacy. It also includes features of
+ reporting using audit features and by managing logs and alerts.
+
+
+
+The **AppFw** uses the security model to ensure the security and the privacy of
+the applications that it manages. It must be compliant with the underlying
+security model. But it should hide it to the applications.
+
+
+
+Domain | Object | Recommendations
+---------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------
+Platform-AGLFw-AppFw-1 | Security model | Use the AppFw as Security model.
+
+
+
+See [AGL AppFw Privileges
+Management](http://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/devguides/en/dev/reference/iotbzh2016/appfw/03-AGL-AppFW-Privileges-Management.pdf)
+and [AGL - Application Framework
+Documentation](http://iot.bzh/download/public/2017/SDK/AppFw-Documentation-v3.1.pdf)
+for more information.
+
+
+
+The Security Manager communicates policy information to **Cynara**, which
+retains information in its own database in the format of a text file with
+comma-separated values (CSV). There are provisions to retain a copy of the CSV
+text file when the file is being updated.
+
+Runtime checking occurs through **Cynara**. Each application that is added to
+the framework has its own instantiation of a SMACK context and D-bus bindings.
+The afb_daemon and Binder form a web-service that is communicated to through
+http or a websocket from the application-proper. This http or websocket
+interface uses a standard unique web token for API communication.
+
+![Application Framework Flow](images/App-flow.png)
+
+## Cynara
+
+There's a need for another mechanism responsible for checking applicative
+permissions: Currently in AGL, this task depends on a policy-checker service
+(**Cynara**).
+
+- Stores complex policies in databases.
+- "Soft" security (access is checked by the framework).
+
+Cynara interact with **D-Bus** in order to deliver this information.
+
+Cynara consists of several parts:
+
+- Cynara: a daemon for controlling policies and responding to access control
+ requests.
+- Database: a spot to hold policies.
+- Libraries: several static and dynamic libraries for communicating with Cynara.
+
+The daemon communicates to the libraries over Unix domain sockets. The database
+storage format is a series of CSV-like files with an index file.
+
+There are several ways that an attacker can manipulate policies of the Cynara
+system:
+
+- Disable Cynara by killing the process.
+- Tamper with the Cynara binary on-disk or in-memory.
+- Corrupt the database controlled by Cynara.
+- Tamper with the database controlled by Cynara.
+- Highjack the communication between Cynara and the database.
+
+The text-based database is the weakest part of the system and although there are
+some consistency mechanisms in place (i.e. the backup guard), these mechanisms
+are weak at best and can be countered by an attacker very easily.
+
+
+
+Domain | Object | Recommendations
+----------------------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------
+Platform-AGLFw-Cynara-1 | Permissions | Use Cynara as policy-checker service.
+
+
+
+### Policies
+
+- Policy rules:
+
+ - Are simple - for pair [application context, privilege] there is straight
+ answer (single Policy Type): [ALLOW / DENY / ...].
+ - No code is executed (no script).
+ - Can be easily cached and managed.
+
+- Application context (describes id of the user and the application credentials)
+ It is build of:
+
+ - UID of the user that runs the application.
+ - **SMACK** label of application.
+
+## Holding policies
+
+Policies are kept in buckets. Buckets are set of policies which have additional
+a property of default answer, the default answer is yielded if no policy matches
+searched key. Buckets have names which might be used in policies (for
+directions).
+
+## Attack Vectors
+
+The following attack vectors are not completely independent. While attackers may
+have varying levels of access to an AGL system, experience has shown that a
+typical attack can start with direct access to a system, find the
+vulnerabilities, then proceed to automate the attack such that it can be invoked
+from less accessible standpoint (e.g. remotely). Therefore, it is important to
+assess all threat levels, and protect the system appropriately understanding
+that direct access attacks are the door-way into remote attacks.
+
+### Remote Attacks
+
+The local web server interface used for applications is the first point of
+attack, as web service APIs are well understood and easily intercepted. The
+local web server could potentially be exploited by redirecting web requests
+through the local service and exploiting the APIs. While there is the use of a
+security token on the web service API, this is weak textual matching at best.
+This will not be difficult to spoof. It is well known that [API Keys do not
+provide any real security](http://nordicapis.com/why-api-keys-are-not-enough/).
+
+It is likely that the architectural inclusion of an http / web-service interface
+provided the most flexibility for applications to be written natively or in
+HTML5. However, this flexibility may trade-off with security concerns. For
+example, if a native application were linked directly to the underlying
+framework services, there would be fewer concerns over remote attacks coming
+through the web-service interface.
+
+Leaving the interface as designed, mitigations to attacks could include further
+securing the interface layer with cryptographic protocols: e.g. encrypted
+information passing, key exchange (e.g. Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman).
+
+### User-level Native Attacks
+
+- Modifying the CSV data-base
+- Modifying the SQLite DB
+- Tampering with the user-level binaries
+- Tampering with the user daemons
+- Spoofing the D-bus Interface
+- Adding executables/libraries
+
+With direct access to the device, there are many security concerns on the native
+level. For example, as **Cynara** uses a text file data-base with
+comma-separated values (CSV), an attacker could simply modify the data-base to
+escalate privileges of an application. Once a single application has all the
+privileges possible on the system, exploits can come through in this manner.
+Similarly the SQLite database used by the Security Manager is not much different
+than a simple text file. There are many tools available to add, remove, modify
+entries in an SQLite data-base.
+
+On the next level, a common point of attack is to modify binaries or daemons for
+exploiting functionality. There are many Linux tools available to aid in this
+regard, including: [IDA Pro](https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/index.shtml),
+and [radare2](https://rada.re/r/). With the ability to modify binaries, an
+attacker can do any number of activities including: removing calls to security
+checks, redirecting control to bypass verification functionality, ignoring
+security policy handling, escalating privileges, etc.
+
+Additionally, another attack vector would be to spoof the D-bus interface. D-bus
+is a message passing system built upon Inter-Process Communication (IPC), where
+structured messages are passed based upon a protocol. The interface is generic
+and well documented. Therefore, modifying or adding binaries/libraries to spoof
+this interface is a relatively straight-forward process. Once the interface has
+been spoofed, the attacker can issue any number of commands that lead into
+control of low-level functionality.
+
+Protecting a system from native attacks requires a methodical approach. First,
+the system should reject processes that are not sanctioned to run.
+Signature-level verification at installation time will help in this regard, but
+run-time integrity verification is much better. Signatures need to originate
+from authorized parties, which is discussed further in a later section on the
+Application Store.
+
+On the next level, executables should not be allowed to do things where they
+have not been granted permission. DAC and SMACK policies can help in this
+regard. On the other hand, there remain concerns with memory accesses, system
+calls, and other process activity that may go undetected. For this reason, a
+secure environment which monitors all activity can give indication of all
+unauthorized activity on the system.
+
+Finally, it is very difficult to catch attacks of direct tampering in a system.
+These types of attacks require a defense-in-depth approach, where complementary
+software protection and hardening techniques are needed. Tamper-resistance and
+anti-reverse-engineering technologies include program
+transformations/obfuscation, integrity verification, and white-box cryptography.
+If applied in a mutually-dependent fashion and considering performance/security
+tradeoffs, the approach can provide an effective barrier to direct attacks to
+the system. Furthermore, the use of threat monitoring provides a valuable
+telemetry/analytics capability and the ability to react and renew a system under
+attack.
+
+### Root-level Native Attacks
+
+- Tampering the system daemon
+- Tampering Cynara
+- Tampering the security manager
+- Disabling SMACK
+- Tampering the kernel
+
+Once root-level access (i.e. su) has been achieved on the device, there are many
+ways to compromise the system. The system daemon, **Cynara**, and the security
+manager are vulnerable to tampering attacks. For example, an executable can be
+modified in memory to jam a branch, jump to an address, or disregard a check.
+This can be as simple as replacing a branch instruction with a NOP, changing a
+memory value, or using a debugger (e.g. gdb, IDA) to change an instruction.
+Tampering these executables would mean that policies can be ignored and
+verification checks can be bypassed.
+
+Without going so far as to tamper an executable, the **SMACK** system is also
+vulnerable to attack. For example, if the kernel is stopped and restarted with
+the *security=none* flag, then SMACK is not enabled. Furthermore, `systemd`
+starts the loading of **SMACK** rules during start-up. If this start-up process
+is interfered with, then **SMACK** will not run. Alternatively, new policies can
+be added with `smackload` allowing unforseen privileges to alternative
+applications/executables.
+
+Another intrusion on the kernel level is to rebuild the kernel (as it is
+open-source) and replace it with a copy that has **SMACK** disabled, or even
+just the **SMACK** filesystem (`smackfs`) disabled. Without the extended label
+attributes, the **SMACK** system is disabled.
+
+Root-level access to the device has ultimate power, where the entire system can
+be compromised. More so, a system with this level access allows an attacker to
+craft a simpler *point-attack* which can operate on a level requiring fewer
+privileges (e.g. remote access, user-level access).
+
+## Vulnerable Resources
+
+### Resource: `afm-user-daemon`
+
+The `afm-user-daemon` is in charge of handling applications on behalf of a user.
+Its main tasks are:
+
+- Enumerate applications that the end user can run and keep this list available
+ on demand.
+- Start applications on behalf of the end user, set user running environment,
+ set user security context.
+- List current runnable or running applications.
+- Stop (aka pause), continue (aka resume), terminate a running instance of a
+ given application.
+- Transfer requests for installation/uninstallation of applications to the
+ corresponding system daemon afm-system-daemon.
+
+The `afm-user-daemon` launches applications. It builds a secure environment for
+the application before starting it within that environment. Different kinds of
+applications can be launched, based on a configuration file that describes how
+to launch an application of a given kind within a given launching mode: local or
+remote. Launching an application locally means that the application and its
+binder are launched together. Launching an application remotely translates in
+only launching the application binder.
+
+The UI by itself has to be activated remotely by a request (i.e. HTML5
+homescreen in a browser). Once launched, running instances of the application
+receive a `runid` that identifies them. `afm-user-daemon` manages the list of
+applications that it has launched. When owning the right permissions, a client
+can get the list of running instances and details about a specific running
+instance. It can also terminate, stop or continue a given application. If the
+client owns the right permissions, `afm-user-daemon` delegates the task of
+installing and uninstalling applications to `afm-system-daemon`.
+
+`afm-user-daemon` is launched as a `systemd` service attached to a user session.
+Normally, the service file is located at
+/usr/lib/systemd/user/afm-user-daemon.service.
+
+Attacker goals:
+
+- Disable `afm-user-daemon`.
+- Tamper with the `afm-user-daemon` configuration.
+ - /usr/lib/systemd/user/afm-user-daemon.service.
+ - Application(widget) config.xml file.
+ - /etc/afm/afm-launch.conf (launcher configuration).
+
+- Escalate user privileges to gain more access with `afm-user-daemon`.
+- Install malicious application (widget).
+- Tamper with `afm-user-daemon` on disk or in memory.
+
+### Resource: `afm-system-daemon`
+
+The `afm-system-daemon` is in charge of installing applications on the AGL
+system. Its main tasks are:
+
+- Install applications and setup security framework for newly installed
+ applications.
+- Uninstall applications.
+
+`afm-system-daemon` is launched as a `systemd` service attached to system.
+Normally, the service file is located at
+/lib/systemd/system/afm-systemdaemon.service.
+
+Attacker goals:
+
+- Disable `afm-system-daemon`.
+- Tamper with the `afm-system-daemon` configuration.
+- Tamper `afm-system-daemon` on disk or in memory.
+
+### Resource `afb-daemon`
+
+`afb-binder` is in charge of serving resources and features through an HTTP
+interface. `afb-daemon` is in charge of binding one instance of an application
+to the AGL framework and AGL system. The application and its companion binder
+run in a secured and isolated environment set for them. Applications are
+intended to access to AGL system through the binder. `afb-daemon` binders serve
+files through HTTP protocol and offers developers the capability to expose
+application API methods through HTTP or WebSocket protocol.
+
+Binder bindings are used to add APIs to `afb-daemon`. The user can write a
+binding for `afb-daemon`. The binder `afb-daemon` serves multiple purposes:
+
+1. It acts as a gateway for the application to access the system.
+2. It acts as an HTTP server for serving files to HTML5 applications.
+3. It allows HTML5 applications to have native extensions subject to security
+ enforcement for accessing hardware resources or for speeding up parts of
+ algorithm.
+
+Attacker goals:
+
+- Break from isolation.
+- Disable `afb-daemon`.
+- Tamper `afb-demon` on disk or in memory.
+- Tamper **capabilities** by creating/installing custom bindings for
+ `afb-daemon`.
+
+# Utilities
+
+- **busybox**: Software that provides several stripped-down Unix tools in a
+ single executable file. Of course, it will be necessary to use a "production"
+ version of **busybox** in order to avoid all the tools useful only in
+ development mode.

+
+
+
+## Functionalities to exclude in production mode
+
+In production mode, a number of tools must be disabled to prevent an attacker
+from finding logs for example. This is useful to limit the visible surface and
+thus complicate the fault finding process. The tools used only in development
+mode are marked by an '**agl-devel**' feature. When building in production mode,
+these tools will not be compiled.

+
+The _Enabled_ Unix/Linux utilities above shall be permitted as they are often

+
+
+
+# Users
+
+The user policy can group users by function within the car. For example, we can
+consider a driver and his passengers. Each user is assigned to a single group to
+simplify the management of space security.
+
+## Root Access
+
+The main applications, those that provide the principal functionality of the
+embedded device, should not execute with root identity or any capability.
+
+If the main application is allowed to execute at any capability, then the entire
+system is at the mercy of the said application's good behaviour. Problems arise
+when an application is compromised and able to execute commands which could
+consistently and persistently compromise the system by implanting rogue
+applications.
+
+It is suggested that the middleware and the UI should run in a context on a user
+with no capability and all persistent resources should be maintained without any
+capability.
+
+One way to ensure this is by implementing a server-client paradigm. Services
+provided by the system's drivers can be shared this way. The other advantage of
+this approach is that multiple applications can share the same resources at the
+same time.
+
+
+
+Domain | Object | Recommendations
+--------------------- | ---------------- | -----------------------------------------------------
+Platform-Users-root-1 | Main application | Should not execute as root.
+Platform-Users-root-2 | UI | Should run in a context on a user with no capability.

+Platform-Users-root-6 | `scp` | _Not allowed_
+Platform-Users-root-7 | `sftp` | _Not allowed_
+
+
+
+Root access should not be allowed for the console device. The development
+environment should allow users to login with pre-created user accounts.
+
+Switching to elevated privileges shall be allowed in the development environment
+via `sudo`.

+# Bus
+
+We only speak about the **CAN** bus to take an example, because the different
+attacks on bus like _FlewRay_, _ByteFlight_, _Most_ and _Lin_ use retro
+engineering and the main argument to improve their security is to encrypt data
+packets. We just describe them a bit:
+
+- **CAN**: Controller Area Network, developed in the early 1980s, is an
+ event-triggered controller network for serial communication with data rates up
+ to one MBit/s. **CAN** messages are classified over their respective
+ identifier. **CAN** controller broadcast their messages to all connected nodes
+ and all receiving nodes decide independently if they process the message.
+- **FlewRay**: Is a deterministic and error-tolerant high-speed bus. With a data
+ rate up to 10 MBit/s.
+- **ByteFlight**: Is used for safety-critical applications in motor vehicles
+ like air-bags. Byteflight runs at 10Mbps over 2 or 3 wires plastic optical
+ fibers.
+- **Most**: Media Oriented System Transport, is used for transmitting audio,
+ video, voice, and control data via fiber optic cables. The speed is, for the
+ synchronous way, up to 24 MBit/s and asynchronous way up to 14 MBit/s.
+ **MOST** messages include always a clear sender and receiver address.
+- **LIN**: Local Interconnect Network, is a single-wire subnet work for
+ low-cost, serial communication between smart sensors and actuators with
+ typical data rates up to 20 kBit/s. It is intended to be used from the year
+ 2001 on everywhere in a car, where the bandwidth and versatility of a **CAN**
+ network is not required.
+
+On just about every vehicle, **ECU**s (**E**lectronic **C**ontrol **U**nits)
+communicate over a CAN bus, which is a two-wire bus using hardware arbitration
+for messages sent on the shared medium. This is essentially a *trusted* network
+where all traffic is visible to all controllers and any controller can send any
+message.
+
+A malicious **ECU** on the CAN bus can easily inject messages destined for any
+other device, including things like the instrument cluster and the head unit.
+There are common ways for hardware to do USB to CAN and open source software to
+send and receive messages. For example, there is a driver included in the Linux
+kernel that can be used to send/receive CAN signals. A malicious device on the
+CAN bus can cause a great number of harmful things to happen to the system,
+including: sending bogus information to other devices, sending unintended
+commands to ECUs, causing DOS (Denial Of Service) on the CAN bus, etc.

+
+# Connectors
+
+For the connectors, we supposed that they were disabled by default. For example,
+the **USB** must be disabled to avoid attacks like BadUSB. If not, configure the
+Kernel to only enable the minimum require **USB** devices. The connectors used
+to diagnose the car like **OBD-II** must be disabled outside garages.

+## Wifi
+
+### Attacks
+
+We can differentiate existing attacks on wifi in two categories: Those on
+**WEP** and those on **WPA**.
+
+- **WEP** attacks:
+
+ - **FMS**: (**F**luhrer, **M**antin and **S**hamir attack) is a "Stream cipher
+ attack on the widely used RC4 stream cipher. The attack allows an attacker
+ to recover the key in an RC4 encrypted stream from a large number of
+ messages in that stream."
+ - **KoreK**: "Allows the attacker to reduce the key space".
+ - **PTW**: (**P**yshkin **T**ews **W**einmann attack).
+ - **Chopchop**: Found by KoreK, "Weakness of the CRC32 checksum and the lack
+ of replay protection."
+ - **Fragmentation**
+
+- **WPA** attacks:
+
+ - **Beck and Tews**: Exploit weakness in **TKIP**. "Allow the attacker to
+ decrypt **ARP** packets and to inject traffic into a network, even allowing
+ him to perform a **DoS** or an **ARP** poisoning".
+ - [KRACK](https://github.com/kristate/krackinfo): (K)ey (R)einstallation
+ (A)tta(ck) ([jira AGL
+ SPEC-1017](https://jira.automotivelinux.org/browse/SPEC-1017)).

+## Bluetooth
+
+### Attacks
+
+- **Bluesnarfing** attacks involve an attacker covertly gaining access to your
+ Bluetooth-enabled device for the purpose of retrieving information, including
+ addresses, calendar information or even the device's **I**nternational
+ **M**obile **E**quipment **I**dentity. With the **IMEI**, an attacker could
+ route your incoming calls to his cell phone.
+- **Bluebugging** is a form of Bluetooth attack often caused by a lack of
+ awareness. Similar to bluesnarfing, bluebugging accesses and uses all phone
+ features but is limited by the transmitting power of class 2 Bluetooth radios,
+ normally capping its range at 10-15 meters.
+- **Bluejacking** is the sending of unsolicited messages.
+- **BLE**: **B**luetooth **L**ow **E**nergy
+ [attacks](https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/woot13/woot13-ryan.pdf).
+- **DoS**: Drain a device's battery or temporarily paralyze the phone.
+
+### Recommendations
+
+- Not allowing Bluetooth pairing attempts without the driver's first manually
+ placing the vehicle in pairing mode.
+- Monitoring.
+- Use **BLE** with caution.
+- For v2.1 and later devices using **S**ecure **S**imple **P**airing (**SSP**),
+ avoid using the "Just Works" association model. The device must verify that an
+ authenticated link key was generated during pairing.

+
+## Infrastructure
+
+- **Deep Packet Inspection**: **DPI** provides techniques to analyze the payload
+ of each packet, adding an extra layer of security. **DPI** can detect and
+ neutralize attacks that would be missed by other security mechanisms.
+
+- A **DoS** protection in order to avoid that the Infrastructure is no more
+ accessible for a period of time.
+
+- **Scanning tools** such as **SATS** and **DAST** assessments perform
+ vulnerability scans on the source code and data flows on web applications.
+ Many of these scanning tools run different security tests that stress
+ applications under certain attack scenarios to discover security issues.
+
+- **IDS & IPS**: **IDS** detect and log inappropriate, incorrect, or anomalous
+ activity. **IDS** can be located in the telecommunications networks and/or
+ within the host server or computer. Telecommunications carriers build
+ intrusion detection capability in all network connections to routers and
+ servers, as well as offering it as a service to enterprise customers. Once
+ **IDS** systems have identified an attack, **IPS** ensures that malicious
+ packets are blocked before they cause any harm to backend systems and
+ networks. **IDS** typically functions via one or more of three systems:
+
+ 1. Pattern matching.
+ 2. Anomaly detection.
+ 3. Protocol behavior.
+
+
+

+Application-Cloud-Infrastructure-1 | Packet | Should implement a DPI.
+Application-Cloud-Infrastructure-2 | DoS | Must implement a DoS protection.
+Application-Cloud-Infrastructure-3 | Test | Should implement scanning tools like SATS and DAST.

+
+## Transport
+
+For data transport, it is necessary to **encrypt data end-to-end**. To prevent
+**MITM** attacks, no third party should be able to interpret transported data.
+Another aspect is the data anonymization in order to protect the leakage of
+private information on the user or any other third party.
+
+The use of standards such as **IPSec** provides "_private and secure
+communications over IP networks, through the use of cryptographic security
+services, is a set of protocols using algorithms to transport secure data over
+an IP network._". In addition, **IPSec** operates at the network layer of the
+**OSI** model, contrary to previous standards that operate at the application
+layer. This makes its application independent and means that users do not need
+to configure each application to **IPSec** standards.
+
+**IPSec** provides the services below :
+
+- Confidentiality: A service that makes it impossible to interpret data if it is
+ not the recipient. It is the encryption function that provides this service by
+ transforming intelligible (unencrypted) data into unintelligible (encrypted)
+ data.
+- Authentication: A service that ensures that a piece of data comes from where
+ it is supposed to come from.
+- Integrity: A service that consists in ensuring that data has not been tampered
+ with accidentally or fraudulently.
+- Replay Protection: A service that prevents attacks by re-sending a valid
+ intercepted packet to the network for the same authorization. This service is
+ provided by the presence of a sequence number.
+- Key management: Mechanism for negotiating the length of encryption keys
+ between two **IPSec** elements and exchange of these keys.
+
+An additional means of protection would be to do the monitoring between users
+and the cloud as a **CASB** will provide.

+
+# Firmware Over The Air
+
+The firmware update is critical since its alteration back to compromise the
+entire system. It is therefore necessary to take appropriate protective
+measures.
+
+AGL includes the _meta-updater_ Yocto layer that enables OTA software updates
+via [Uptane](https://uptane.github.io), an automotive-specific extension to [The
+Update Framework](https://theupdateframework.github.io/). Uptane and TUF are
+open standards that define a secure protocol for delivering and verifying
+updates even when the servers and network--internet and car-internal--aren't
+fully trusted.
+
+_meta-updater_ includes the application
+[`aktualizr`](https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr), developed
+Advanced Telematic Systems (now part of HERE Technologies) that enables OTA for
+an ECU. `aktualizr` combined with Uptane is suitable for updating the firmware,
+software, and other packages on even functionally critical ECUs. `aktualizr` can
+be enabled with the free, open souce backend
+[`ota-community-edition`](https://github.com/advancedtelematic/ota-community-edition).
+
+This FOTA update mechanism can be enabled through the `agl-sota` feature.
+
+## Building
+
+To build an AGL image that uses `aktualizr`, the following can be used.
+
+```
+source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m <machine> agl-sota <other-features...>
+```
+
+During the build, _meta-updater_ will use credentials downloaded from
+`ota-community-edition` to sign metadata verifying the build as authentic. These
+signatures are part of the Uptane framework and are used to verify FOTA updates.
+
+## Atomic Upgrades with Rollbacks
+
+`aktualizr`'s primary method of updating firmware is to use `libostree` with
+binary diffs. The binary diffs use the least amout of bandwidth, and by it's
+nature `libostree` stores current and previous firmware versions on disk or in
+flash memory to allow for rollbacks.
+
+`libostree` is a content addressable object store much like `git`. Versions are
+specified via SHA2-256. These hashes are signed in the Uptane metadata and are
+robust against cryptographic compromise.
+
+# Software Over The Air
+
+Software updates in connected vehicles are a very useful feature, which can
+deliver significant benefits. If not implemented with security in mind, software
+updates can incur serious vulnerabilities. Any software update system must
+ensure that not only are the software updates to devices done in a secure way,
+but also that the repositories and servers hosting these updates are adequately
+protected. As the process of updating software migrates from a Dealership update
+model towards an **OTA** update model, securing these processes becomes a high
+priority.
+
+**SOTA** is made possible by **AppFw** (See Platform part). It will be possible
+to manage in a simple way the packets (i.g. Android like).
