Hi All,

I have been able to get the FIT Image Signature verification running on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B by following the documentation here: https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/doc/uImage.FIT/beaglebone.... The public key, as the doc states, is stored in the Control FDT. The signature algorithm I'm using is RSA 2048 with SHA256. I am aware the following step: $ mkimage -f sign.its -K bcm2711-rpi-4-pubkey.dtb -k keys -r image.fit Will store the Public key information in the DTB as different components split up into:

rsa,r-squaredrsa,modulusrsa,n0-inversersa,num-bits

However, I was wondering if I can directly use a certificate generated in the following steps for FIT Image verification:

$ openssl genrsa -F4 -out keys/dev.key 2048$ openssl req -batch -new -x509 -key keys/dev.key -out keys/dev.crt

When reading through the code, it seems that the structure "image_sign_info" (defined in include/image.h) would allow for Public key to be specified in DER format:

const void *key; /* Pointer to public key in DER */

So I did the following steps to convert the dev.crt Certificate to DER format:

$ openssl x509 -in ./keys/dev.crt -out dev.der -outform DER

Then I took the Hexdump of dev.der (Public Key in DER Format):

$ xxd -g 1 -u dev.der | cut -c -57 # Hexdump of the public key in DER format

And applied the following diff:

diff --git a/lib/rsa/rsa-verify.c b/lib/rsa/rsa-verify.c index 83f7564101..3e60dc6b50 100644 --- a/lib/rsa/rsa-verify.c +++ b/lib/rsa/rsa-verify.c @@ -499,7 +499,11 @@ int rsa_verify_hash(struct image_sign_info *info, { int ret = -EACCES;

While I am aware that the above is probably not the best way to go about enabling FIT signature verification using a Pub Key in DER format, it will be very helpful if I can receive pointers on how to achieve this.

Please let me know if there is some other way in which I should be passing my Public Key in DER format for FIT Image Signature Verification.
