Can not get platform manifest on multi-package platform

Problems:

  1. can not get platform manifest
  2. cannot generate quote in remote-attestation

 

The problems I encountered are very similar to this article: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Software-Guard-Extensions/Remote-attestation-not-possible-request-guidance/td-p/1380901

 

but there are some differences:

  1. My machine has multi-package  CPU
  2. there is no `PCK selection library returned 12` in my PCCS log

 

My Environment:

 

BIOS:

Hi Laisky,

This is actually by design, if the platform manifest has been read once byour tools (Multipackage Registration Agent (MPA) or PCK Cert ID Retrieval Tool). Those tools set the SgxRegistrationStatus.Status bit = 1, which instructs the BIOsS to not present the platform manifest in subsequent reboots. You will need to do an SGX Factory Reset in the BIOS, as mentioned here in the Dell R650 BIOS docs. 

This will regenerate a new platform keys and re create the platform manifest which can then be used to register the platform. But be aware since this does create new platform keys, any data sealed with the previous platform keys will no longer be accessible/unsealable. You can find more info in our SGX MP SW Doc.  

Of course, non of the tools will work if this is not a UEFI install (a legacy BIOS install) as the UEFI variables wouldn't be available which is where the platform manifest is presented to SW.

I hope this is helpful.

Sincerely,

Sahira

Hi Laisky,

I'm looking into this issue right now. It seems this is a recurring issue for many. I'll let you know what I find.

I also did some research and someone said that the MPA should output a log of attempts to register after booting the machine, but there is nothing in my MPA.

Thank you very much for your kind help.

 

The problem is due to not setting the BIOS correctly.
I was unable to locate the problem because I didn't have access to the physical machine, but I contacted OPS later to resolve the issue.

 

Steps:

  1. reset SGX Factory Reset
  2. reboot 
  3. Enable SGX Auto MP Registration Agent
  4. reboot

 

Another problem I found is that my OS is not booted with UEFI. `/sys/firmware/efi` This path should be present.

After reinstalling the OS with UEFI, everything works fine.

 

The problem can be located through the logging file: /var/log/mpa_registration.log

 

Thanks
