Android Full-Disk Encryption

原文地址：https://source.android.com/security/encryption/full-disk.html

Full-disk encryption is the process of encoding all user data on an Android device using anencrypted key. Once a device is encrypted, all user-created data isautomatically encrypted before committing it to disk and all readsautomatically decrypt data before returning it to the calling process.

Full-disk encryption was introduced to Android in 4.4, but Android 5.0 introducedthese new features:

• Created fast encryption, which only encrypts used blocks on the data partitionto avoid first boot taking a long time. Only ext4 and f2fs filesystemscurrently support fast encryption.
• Added the forceencrypt fstab flag to encrypt on first boot.
• Added support for patterns and encryption without a password.
• Added hardware-backed storage of the encryption key using Trusted Execution Environment’s (TEE) signing capability (such as in a TrustZone). See Storing the encrypted key for more details.

Caution: Devices upgraded to Android 5.0 and thenencrypted may be returned to an unencrypted state by factory data reset. New Android 5.0devices encrypted at first boot cannot be returned to an unencrypted state.

How Android full-disk encryption works

---

Android full-disk encryption is based on dm-crypt, which is a kernelfeature that works at the block device layer. Because ofthis, encryption works with Embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) andsimilar flash devices that present themselves to the kernel as blockdevices. Encryption is not possible with YAFFS, which talks directly to a rawNAND flash chip.

The encryption algorithm is 128 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) withcipher-block chaining (CBC) and ESSIV:SHA256. The master key is encrypted with128-bit AES via calls to the OpenSSL library. You must use 128 bits or more forthe key (with 256 being optional).

Note: OEMs can use 128-bit or higher to encrypt the master key.

In the Android 5.0 release, there are four kinds of encryption states:

• default
• PIN
• password
• pattern

Upon first boot, the device creates a randomly generated 128-bit master keyand then hashes it with a default password and stored salt. The default password is: "default_password"However, the resultant hash is also signed through a TEE (such as TrustZone),which uses a hash of the signature to encrypt the master key.

You can find the default password defined in the Android Open Source Project cryptfs.cfile.

When the user sets the PIN/pass or password on the device, only the 128-bit keyis re-encrypted and stored. (ie. user PIN/pass/pattern changes do NOT causere-encryption of userdata.) Note thatmanaged devicemay be subject to PIN, pattern, or password restrictions.

Encryption is managed by init and vold.init calls vold, and vold sets properties to triggerevents in init. Other parts of the systemalso look at the properties to conduct tasks such as report status, ask for apassword, or prompt to factory reset in the case of a fatal error. To invokeencryption features in vold, the system uses the command line toolvdc’s cryptfs commands: checkpw,restart, enablecrypto, changepw,cryptocomplete, verifypw, setfield,getfield, mountdefaultencrypted, getpwtype,getpw, and clearpw.

In order to encrypt, decrypt or wipe /data, /datamust not be mounted. However, in order to show any user interface (UI), theframework must start and the framework requires /data to run. Toresolve this conundrum, a temporary filesystem is mounted on /data.This allows Android to prompt for passwords, show progress, or suggest a datawipe as needed. It does impose the limitation that in order to switch from thetemporary filesystem to the true /data filesystem, the system muststop every process with open files on the temporary filesystem and restart thoseprocesses on the real /data filesystem. To do this, all servicesmust be in one of three groups: core, main, andlate_start.

• core: Never shut down after starting.
• main: Shut down and then restart after the disk password is entered.
• late_start: Does not start until after /data has been decrypted and mounted.

To trigger these actions, the vold.decrypt property is set tovarious strings.To kill and restart services, the init commands are:

• class_reset: Stops a service but allows it to be restarted with class_start.
• class_start: Restarts a service.
• class_stop: Stops a service and adds a SVC_DISABLED flag. Stopped services do not respond to class_start.

Flows

---

There are four flows for an encrypted device. A device is encrypted just onceand then follows a normal boot flow.

• Encrypt a previously unencrypted device:
  • Encrypt a new device with forceencrypt: Mandatory encryption at first boot (starting in Android L).
  • Encrypt an existing device: User-initiated encryption (Android K and earlier).
• Boot an encrypted device:
  • Starting an encrypted device with no password: Booting an encrypted device that has no set password (relevant for devices running Android 5.0 and later).
  • Starting an encrypted device with a password: Booting an encrypted device that has a set password.

In addition to these flows, the device can also fail to encrypt /data.Each of the flows are explained in detail below.

Encrypt a new device with forceencrypt

This is the normal first boot for an Android 5.0 device.

1. Detect unencrypted filesystem with forceencrypt flag

   /data is not encrypted but needs to be because forceencrypt mandates it.Unmount /data.

2. Start encrypting /data

   vold.decrypt = "trigger_encryption" triggers init.rc,which will cause vold to encrypt /data with no password.(None is set because this should be a new device.)

3. Mount tmpfs

   vold mounts a tmpfs /data (using the tmpfs options fromro.crypto.tmpfs_options) and sets the property vold.encrypt_progress to 0.vold prepepares the tmpfs /data for booting an encrypted system and sets theproperty vold.decrypt to: trigger_restart_min_framework

4. Bring up framework to show progress

   Because the device has virtually no data to encrypt, the progress bar willoften not actually appear because encryption happens so quickly. SeeEncrypt an existing device for moredetails about the progress UI.

5. When /data is encrypted, take down the framework

   vold sets vold.decrypt totrigger_default_encryption which starts thedefaultcrypto service. (This starts the flow below for mounting adefault encrypted userdata.) trigger_default_encryption checks theencryption type to see if /data is encrypted with or without apassword. Because Android 5.0 devices are encrypted on first boot, there shouldbe no password set; therefore we decrypt and mount /data.

6. Mount /data

   init then mounts /data on a tmpfs RAMDisk usingparameters it picks up from ro.crypto.tmpfs_options, which is setin init.rc.

7. Start framework

   Set vold to trigger_restart_framework, whichcontinues the usual boot process.

Encrypt an existing device

This is what happens when you encrypt an unencrypted Android K or earlierdevice that has been migrated to L.

This process is user-initiated and is referred to as “inplace encryption” inthe code. When a user selects to encrypt a device, the UI makes sure thebattery is fully charged and the AC adapter is plugged in so there is enoughpower to finish the encryption process.

Warning: If the device runs out of power and shuts down before it has finishedencrypting, file data is left in a partially encrypted state. The device mustbe factory reset and all data is lost.

To enable inplace encryption, vold starts a loop to read eachsector of the real block device and then write itto the crypto block device. vold checks to see if a sector is inuse before reading and writing it, which makesencryption much faster on a new device that has little to no data.

State of device: Set ro.crypto.state = "unencrypted"and execute the on nonencrypted init trigger to continue booting.

1. Check password

   The UI calls vold with the command cryptfs enablecrypto inplacewhere passwd is the user's lock screen password.

2. Take down the framework

   vold checks for errors, returns -1 if it can't encrypt, andprints a reason in the log. If it can encrypt, it sets the property vold.decryptto trigger_shutdown_framework. This causes init.rc tostop services in the classes late_start and main.

3. Create a crypto footer
4. Create a breadcrumb file
5. Reboot
6. Detect breadcrumb file
7. Start encrypting /data

   vold then sets up the crypto mapping, which creates a virtual crypto block devicethat maps onto the real block device but encrypts each sector as it is written,and decrypts each sector as it is read. vold then creates and writesout the crypto metadata.

8. While it’s encrypting, mount tmpfs

   vold mounts a tmpfs /data (using the tmpfs optionsfrom ro.crypto.tmpfs_options) and sets the propertyvold.encrypt_progress to 0. vold prepares the tmpfs/data for booting an encrypted system and sets the propertyvold.decrypt to: trigger_restart_min_framework

9. Bring up framework to show progress

   trigger_restart_min_framework causes init.rc tostart the main class of services. When the framework sees thatvold.encrypt_progress is set to 0, it brings up the progress barUI, which queries that property every five seconds and updates a progress bar.The encryption loop updates vold.encrypt_progress every time itencrypts another percent of the partition.

10. When /data is encrypted, update the crypto footer

    When /data is successfully encrypted, vold clearsthe flag ENCRYPTION_IN_PROGRESS in the metadata.

    When the device is successfully unlocked, the password is then used toencrypt the master key and the crypto footer is updated.

    If the reboot fails for some reason, vold sets the propertyvold.encrypt_progress to error_reboot_failed andthe UI should display a message asking the user to press a button toreboot. This is not expected to ever occur.

Starting an encrypted device with default encryption

This is what happens when you boot up an encrypted device with no password.Because Android 5.0 devices are encrypted on first boot, there should be no setpassword and therefore this is the default encryption state.

1. Detect encrypted /data with no password

   Detect that the Android device is encrypted because /datacannot be mounted and one of the flags encryptable orforceencrypt is set.

   vold sets vold.decrypt totrigger_default_encryption, which starts thedefaultcrypto service. trigger_default_encryptionchecks the encryption type to see if /data is encrypted with orwithout a password.

2. Decrypt /data

   Creates the dm-crypt device over the block device so the deviceis ready for use.

3. Mount /data

   vold then mounts the decrypted real /data partitionand then prepares the new partition. It sets the propertyvold.post_fs_data_done to 0 and then sets vold.decryptto trigger_post_fs_data. This causes init.rc to runits post-fs-data commands. They will create any necessary directoriesor links and then set vold.post_fs_data_done to 1.

   Once vold sees the 1 in that property, it sets the propertyvold.decrypt to: trigger_restart_framework. Thiscauses init.rc to start services in class mainagain and also start services in class late_start for the firsttime since boot.

4. Start framework

   Now the framework boots all its services using the decrypted /data,and the system is ready for use.

Starting an encrypted device without default encryption

This is what happens when you boot up an encrypted device that has a setpassword. The device’s password can be a pin, pattern, or password.

1. Detect encrypted device with a password

   Detect that the Android device is encrypted because the flagro.crypto.state = "encrypted"

   vold sets vold.decrypt totrigger_restart_min_framework because /data isencrypted with a password.

2. Mount tmpfs

   init sets five properties to save the initial mount optionsgiven for /data with parameters passed from init.rc.vold uses these properties to set up the crypto mapping:

   1. ro.crypto.fs_type
   2. ro.crypto.fs_real_blkdev
   3. ro.crypto.fs_mnt_point
   4. ro.crypto.fs_options
   5. ro.crypto.fs_flags (ASCII 8-digit hex number preceded by 0x)
3. Start framework to prompt for password

   The framework starts up and sees that vold.decrypt is set totrigger_restart_min_framework. This tells the framework that it isbooting on a tmpfs /data disk and it needs to get the user password.

   First, however, it needs to make sure that the disk was properly encrypted. Itsends the command cryptfs cryptocomplete to vold.vold returns 0 if encryption was completed successfully, -1 on internal error, or-2 if encryption was not completed successfully. vold determinesthis by looking in the crypto metadata for the CRYPTO_ENCRYPTION_IN_PROGRESSflag. If it's set, the encryption process was interrupted, and there is nousable data on the device. If vold returns an error, the UI shoulddisplay a message to the user to reboot and factory reset the device, and givethe user a button to press to do so.

4. Decrypt data with password

   Once cryptfs cryptocomplete is successful, the frameworkdisplays a UI asking for the disk password. The UI checks the password bysending the command cryptfs checkpw to vold. If thepassword is correct (which is determined by successfully mounting thedecrypted /data at a temporary location, then unmounting it),vold saves the name of the decrypted block device in the propertyro.crypto.fs_crypto_blkdev and returns status 0 to the UI. If thepassword is incorrect, it returns -1 to the UI.

5. Stop framework

   The UI puts up a crypto boot graphic and then calls vold withthe command cryptfs restart. vold sets the propertyvold.decrypt to trigger_reset_main, which causesinit.rc to do class_reset main. This stops all servicesin the main class, which allows the tmpfs /data to be unmounted.

6. Mount /data

   vold then mounts the decrypted real /data partitionand prepares the new partition (which may never have been prepared ifit was encrypted with the wipe option, which is not supported on firstrelease). It sets the property vold.post_fs_data_done to 0 and thensets vold.decrypt to trigger_post_fs_data. This causesinit.rc to run its post-fs-data commands. They willcreate any necessary directories or links and then setvold.post_fs_data_done to 1. Once vold sees the 1 inthat property, it sets the property vold.decrypt totrigger_restart_framework. This causes init.rc to startservices in class main again and also start services in classlate_start for the first time since boot.

7. Start full framework

   Now the framework boots all its services using the decrypted /datafilesystem, and the system is ready for use.

Failure

A device that fails to decrypt might be awry for a few reasons. The devicestarts with the normal series of steps to boot:

1. Detect encrypted device with a password
2. Mount tmpfs
3. Start framework to prompt for password

But after the framework opens, the device can encounter some errors:

• Password matches but cannot decrypt data
• User enters wrong password 30 times

If these errors are not resolved, prompt user to factory wipe:

If vold detects an error during the encryption process, and ifno data has been destroyed yet and the framework is up, vold setsthe property vold.encrypt_progress to error_not_encrypted.The UI prompts the user to reboot and alerts them the encryption processnever started. If the error occurs after the framework has been torn down, butbefore the progress bar UI is up, vold will reboot the system. Ifthe reboot fails, it sets vold.encrypt_progress toerror_shutting_down and returns -1; but there will not be anythingto catch the error. This is not expected to happen.

If vold detects an error during the encryption process, it setsvold.encrypt_progress to error_partially_encryptedand returns -1. The UI should then display a message saying the encryptionfailed and provide a button for the user to factory reset the device.

Storing the encrypted key

---

The encrypted key is stored in the crypto metadata. Hardware backing isimplemented by using Trusted Execution Environment’s (TEE) signing capability.Previously, we encrypted the master key with a key generated by applying scryptto the user's password and the stored salt. In order to make the key resilientagainst off-box attacks, we extend this algorithm by signing the resultant keywith a stored TEE key. The resultant signature is then turned into an appropriatelength key by one more application of scrypt. This key is then used to encryptand decrypt the master key. To store this key:

1. Generate random 16-byte disk encryption key (DEK) and 16-byte salt.
2. Apply scrypt to the user password and the salt to produce 32-byte intermediatekey 1 (IK1).
3. Pad IK1 with zero bytes to the size of the hardware-bound private key (HBK).Specifically, we pad as: 00 || IK1 || 00..00; one zero byte, 32 IK1 bytes, 223zero bytes.
4. Sign padded IK1 with HBK to produce 256-byte IK2.
5. Apply scrypt to IK2 and salt (same salt as step 2) to produce 32-byte IK3.
6. Use the first 16 bytes of IK3 as KEK and the last 16 bytes as IV.
7. Encrypt DEK with AES_CBC, with key KEK, and initialization vector IV.

Changing the password

---

When a user elects to change or remove their password in settings, the UI sendsthe command cryptfs changepw to vold, andvold re-encrypts the disk master key with the new password.
