Introduction on Plug & Trust Middleware Mini Package

Plug and Trust middleware mini package contains the minimum files required to connect to SE05x using t1oi2c protocol. The package is tested on Raspberry-Pi with T=1 overI2C.

The complete Plug and Trust middleware package can be downloaded from https://www.nxp.com/products/:SE050. The package has support for other platforms.

• iMX6UL, iMX8MQ - Linux
• Freedom K64F, i.MX RT 1060, LPC55S - FreeRTOS/Without RTOS
• Hikey 960 - Android
• Windows PC(Visual Studio)

It also includes other api usage examples, ssscli (command line tool to use SE05x), cloud connectivity examples, openssl engine, pkcs11 interface, AWS Greengrass, OPCUA and more. More details regarding SE05x and other detailed application notes can be found at https://www.nxp.com/products/:SE050, https://www.nxp.com/products/:SE051 and https://www.nxp.com/products/:SE052F .

Important folders are as under:

ecc_example:	ECC sign and verify example. (Tested on Raspberry Pi)
hostlib:	This folder contains the common part of host library e.g. T=1oI2C communication protocol stack, SE050 APIs, etc.
sss:	This folder contains the SSS APIs interface to the Application Layer.

Prerequisite

• Linux should be running on the Raspberry Pi development board, the release was tested with Raspbian Buster (4.19.75-v7l+)
• SE050/SE051/SE052/A5000 connected to i2c-1 port of Raspberry Pi.

ECC example

This example demonstrates Elliptic Curve Cryptography sign and verify operation using SSS APIs (/sss/ex/ecc/ex_sss_ecc.c).

Execute the command below to test the ecc example

cd ecc_example
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
./ex_ecc

Refer `CMAKE Options` section to configure the middleware for different applets / session authentication / host crypto.

Build Applications using Mini Package

Before using the SE05x for any crypto operarions, applications are required to open a session. Use the following APIs (from sss\ex\inc\ex_sss_boot.h) to do a session open. Refer `CMAKE Options` section for more details on Session Authentication).

sss_status_t ex_sss_boot_connectstring(int argc, const char *argv[], char **pPortName);

sss_status_t ex_sss_boot_open(ex_sss_boot_ctx_t *pCtx, const char *portName);

sss_status_t ex_sss_key_store_and_object_init(ex_sss_boot_ctx_t *pCtx);

The above apis will abstract all the necessary actions required to perform a session open to SE05x.

Alternatively, you can simply inlcude the header file ex_sss_main_inc.h which uses the above APIs to perform the session open to se05x.

Refer ecc example - /sss/ex/ecc/ex_sss_ecc.c.

Applications code can start with function ex_sss_entry.

sss_status_t ex_sss_entry(ex_sss_boot_ctx_t *pCtx)

CMAKE Options

PTMW_Applet

Secure Element Applet

You can compile middleware library for different Applets listed below.

``-DPTMW_Applet=SE05X_A``: SE050 Type A (ECC)

``-DPTMW_Applet=SE05X_B``: SE050 Type B (RSA)

``-DPTMW_Applet=SE05X_C``: SE050 (Super set of A + B)

``-DPTMW_Applet=SE051_H``: SE051 with SPAKE Support

``-DPTMW_Applet=AUTH``: AUTH

``-DPTMW_Applet=SE050_E``: SE050E

PTMW_SE05X_Ver

SE05X Applet version.

Selection of Applet version 03_XX enables SE050 features.
Selection of Applet version 07_00 enables SE051 / SE052 features.

``-DPTMW_SE05X_Ver=03_XX``: SE050

``-DPTMW_SE05X_Ver=07_02``: SE051 / SE052

PTMW_HostCrypto

Counterpart Crypto on Host

What is being used as a cryptographic library on the host.
As of now only OpenSSL is supported

``-DPTMW_HostCrypto=OPENSSL``: Use OpenSSL as host crypto

``-DPTMW_HostCrypto=None``: NO Host Crypto

PTMW_SE05X_Auth

SE05x Authentication

This settings is used by examples to connect using various options
to authenticate with the Applet.
Make sure you set PTMW_HostCrypto to Openssl to use any Authentication.

``-DPTMW_SE05X_Auth=None``: Use the default session (i.e. session less) login

``-DPTMW_SE05X_Auth=UserID``: Do User Authentication with UserID

``-DPTMW_SE05X_Auth=PlatfSCP03``: Use Platform SCP for connection to SE

``-DPTMW_SE05X_Auth=AESKey``: Do User Authentication with AES Key
    Earlier this was called AppletSCP03

``-DPTMW_SE05X_Auth=ECKey``: Do User Authentication with EC Key
    Earlier this was called FastSCP

``-DPTMW_SE05X_Auth=UserID_PlatfSCP03``: UserID and PlatfSCP03

``-DPTMW_SE05X_Auth=AESKey_PlatfSCP03``: AESKey and PlatfSCP03

``-DPTMW_SE05X_Auth=ECKey_PlatfSCP03``: ECKey and PlatfSCP03

Port Mini package to different platform

To port the mini package to different platform, the i2c interface needs to be ported. Exsisting implementation for i2c read/write on Raspberry Pi is in - hostlib/hostLib/platform/linux/i2c_a7.c.

Other file that may require porting is - hostlib/hostLib/platform/generic/sm_timer.c
