Introduction

Verdictd is a remote attestation implementation comprising of a set of building blocks that utilize Intel/AMD Security features to discover, attest, and enable critical foundation security and confidential computing use-cases. It relies on RATS-TLS to apply the remote attestation fundamentals and standard specifications to maintain a platform data collection service and an efficient verification engine to perform comprehensive trust evaluations. These trust evaluations can be used to govern different trust and security policies applied to any given workload.

Verdictd creates an m-TLS(Mutal Transport Layer Security) connection with Attestation Agent via remote attestation. Mainly functions:

Implemented verdictd's protocol which includes "decryption" and "get KEK" requests.
Implemented a ocicrypto containers/ocicrypto compatible gRPC service.
Implemented a grpc service which can be used to config OPA's policy files.

yum install -y clang-libs clang-devel

# Linux(Ubuntu)
apt-get install llvm-dev libclang-dev clang

Build & Install

make
make install

Run

Verdictd relies on rats-tls to listen on tcp socket, the default sockaddr is 127.0.0.1:1234. User can use --listen option to specify a listen address.

verdictd --listen 127.0.0.1:1111

User can use --attester, --verifier, --tls, --crypto and --mutual options to specific rats-tls uses instances's type. See details: RATS-TLS

User can use --client-api option to specify client-api server's listen address.

verdictd --client-api [::1]:10001

Default

These options all exist default values. If user execute ./bin/verdictd directly, it will execute with following configurations.

verdictd --listen 127.0.0.1:1234 --client-api [::1]:60000

Generate encrypted container image

Verdictd supports key provider protocol's WrapKey request by the address designated by --client-api option. So user can use Verdictd and skopeo to generate encrypted container image with the following steps.

# Generate the key provider configuration file
cat <<- EOF >/etc/containerd/ocicrypt/ocicrypt_keyprovider.conf
{
        "key-providers": {
                "attestation-agent": {
                    "grpc": "127.0.0.1:50001"

                }
        }
}
EOF

# Generate a encryption key
cat <<- EOF >/opt/verdictd/keys/84688df7-2c0c-40fa-956b-29d8e74d16c0
1234567890123456789012345678901
EOF

# Launch Verdictd
verdictd --client-api 127.0.0.1:50001

skopeo --insecure-policy copy docker://docker.io/library/alpine:latest oci:alpine

export OCICRYPT_KEYPROVIDER_CONFIG=/etc/containerd/ocicrypt/ocicrypt_keyprovider.conf

# generate encrypted image
skopeo copy --insecure-policy --encryption-key provider:attestation-agent:84688df7-2c0c-40fa-956b-29d8e74d16c0 oci:alpine oci:alpine-encrypted
