Supported Targets ESP32

Flash Encryption

The example checks if the flash encryption feature is enabled/disabled and if enabled prints the flash encryption mode (DEVELOPMENT / RELEASE) and FLASH_CRYPT_CNT eFuse value.

The example also demonstrates writing and reading encrypted partitions in flash.

How to use example

Hardware Required

Configure the project

idf.py menuconfig

Configuration for flash encryption

  • Enable the flash encryption mode (Development or Release) under Security Features. Default usage mode is Development (recommended during test and development phase).

Note: After enabling flash encryption, the bootloader size increases, which means that the offset of the partition table must be changed to 0x9000 from 0x8000 to prevent the bootloader from overlapping with the partition table. In this example, the default offset of the partition table is 0x9000.

For better security, the NVS encryption is enabled by default when the flash encryption is enabled. If you choose to disable the NVS encryption, you can skip the NVS configuration step given below.

Configuration for NVS encryption

For using NVS encryption, the partition table must contain the NVS key partition. Two partition tables containing the NVS keys partition are provided for NVS encryption under the partition table option . They can be selected with the project configuration menu (menuconfig -> Partition Table). This particular example uses a custom partition table as it requires a storage partition along with the nvs_keys partition.

The configuration for NVS encryption involves generating the XTS encryption keys in the NVS key partition partition. It can be done with one of the following method.

  1. Generate the XTS encryption keys on the ESP chip:

    When NVS encryption is enabled the nvs_flash_init API function can internally generate the XTS encryption keys on the ESP chip. The API function finds the first NVS key partition i.e. a partition of type data and subtype nvs_keys. Then the API function automatically generates and stores the nvs keys in that partition. New keys are generated and stored only when the respective key partiton is empty. (Consult the nvs_flash_init API documentation in the ESP-IDF programming guide for more details)

  2. Use pre-generated XTS encryption keys: This method will be required by the user when the XTS encryption keys in NVS key partition are not generated by the application. The pre generated Sample XTS encryption keys can be stored on the flash with help of the following two commands

    i) Build and flash the partition table:

    idf.py partition_table partition_table-flash

    ii) Store the sample_encryption_keys.bin in the nvs_keypartition (on the flash) with the help of parttool.py:

    parttool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --partition-table-offset 0x9000 write_partition --partition-name="nvs_key" --input sample_encryption_keys.bin

    The sample NVS key partition partition used in this example is generated with the help of NVS Partition Generator Utility .

Build and Flash

When building the project and flashing it to the board FOR THE FIRST TIME after enabling flash encryption feature in menuconfig, run following command to program ESP32 and monitor the output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

When reprogramming the device subsequently use following command for encrypted write of new plaintext application:

idf.py -p PORT encrypted-app-flash monitor

Please note above command programs only the app partition. In order to reprogram all partitions (bootloader, partition table and application) in encrypted form use:

idf.py -p PORT encrypted-flash monitor

Example Output

When running the example without enabling flash encryption, the output would be as follows:

Example to check Flash Encryption status

FLASH_CRYPT_CNT eFuse value is 0

After enabling flash encryption in Development mode, the output shows the process of enabling the flash encryption:

I (168) boot: Checking flash encryption...
I (168) flash_encrypt: Generating new flash encryption key...
I (187) flash_encrypt: Read & write protecting new key...
I (187) flash_encrypt: Setting CRYPT_CONFIG efuse to 0xF
W (188) flash_encrypt: Not disabling UART bootloader encryption
I (195) flash_encrypt: Disable UART bootloader decryption...

I (212) flash_encrypt: Disable ROM BASIC interpreter fallback...
....
....
....
I (13229) flash_encrypt: Flash encryption completed
I (13229) boot: Resetting with flash encryption enabled...

Once the flash encryption is enabled the device will reset itself. At this stage the flash contents are in encrypted form. The output would be similar to:

Example to check Flash Encryption status
This is ESP32 chip with 2 CPU cores, WiFi/BT/BLE, silicon revision 0, 4MB external flash
FLASH_CRYPT_CNT eFuse value is 1

If the NVS encryption is enabled, then the output will show the status of the encrypted partition as follows

I (667) example_nvs: NVS partition "nvs" is encrypted.

Troubleshooting

It is also possible to use esptool.py utility to read the eFuse values and check if flash encryption is enabled or not

python $IDF_PATH/components/esptool_py/esptool/espefuse.py --port PORT summary

If FLASH_CRYPT_CNT eFuse value is non-zero flash encryption is enabled
