Verify hardware-backed key pairs with Key Attestation

Key Attestation gives you more confidence that the keys you use in your app are stored in a device's hardware-backed keystore. The following sections describe how to verify the properties of hardware-backed keys and how to interpret the attestation certificates' extension data.

Note: Before you verify the properties of a device's hardware-backed keys in a production-level environment, make sure that the device supports hardware-level key attestation. To do so, check that the attestation certificate chain contains a root certificate that is signed with the Google attestation root key and that the attestationSecurityLevel element within the key description data structure is set to the TrustedEnvironment security level.

In addition, it's important to verify the signatures in the certificate chain and to confirm that none of the keys in the chain have been revoked by checking the certificate revocation status list. Unless all are valid and the root is the Google root key, don't fully trust the attestation. Note, however, that devices containing revoked certificates are still at least as trustworthy as devices that only support software attestation. Having a fully valid attestation is a strong positive indicator. Not having one is a neutral—not negative—indicator.

Retrieve and verify a hardware-backed key pair

During key attestation, you specify the alias of a key pair and retrieve its certificate chain, which you can use to verify the properties of that key pair.

If the device supports hardware-level key attestation, the root certificate within this chain is signed using an attestation root key that is securely provisioned to the device's hardware-backed keystore.

Note: On devices that ship with hardware-level key attestation, Android 7.0 (API level 24) or higher, and Google Play services, the root certificate is signed with the Google attestation root key. Verify that this root certificate is among those listed in the section on root certificates.

To implement key attestation, complete the following steps:

  1. Use a KeyStore object's getCertificateChain() method to get a reference to the chain of X.509 certificates associated with the hardware-backed keystore.
  2. Send the certificates to a separate server that you trust for validation.

    Caution: Don't complete the following validation process on the same device as the KeyStore. If the Android system on that device is compromised, that could cause the validation process to trust something that is untrustworthy.

  3. Obtain a reference to the X.509 certificate chain parsing and validation library that is most appropriate for your toolset. Verify that the root public certificate is trustworthy and that each certificate signs the next certificate in the chain.

  4. Check each certificate's revocation status to ensure that none of the certificates have been revoked.

  5. Optionally, inspect the provisioning information certificate extension that is only present in newer certificate chains.

    Obtain a reference to the CBOR parser library that is most appropriate for your toolset. Find the nearest certificate to the root that contains the provisioning information certificate extension. Use the parser to extract the provisioning information certificate extension data from that certificate.

    See the section about the provisioning information extension data schema for more details.

  6. Obtain a reference to the ASN.1 parser library that is most appropriate for your toolset. Find the nearest certificate to the root that contains the key attestation certificate extension. If the provisioning information certificate extension was present, the key attestation certificate extension must be in the immediately subsequent certificate. Use the parser to extract the key attestation certificate extension data from that certificate.

    Caution: Do not assume that the key attestation certificate extension is in the leaf certificate of the chain. Only the first occurrence of the extension in the chain can be trusted. Any further instances of the extension have not been issued by the secure hardware and might have been issued by an attacker extending the chain while attempting to create fake attestations for untrusted keys.

    The Key Attestation sample uses the ASN.1 parser from Bouncy Castle to extract an attestation certificate's extension data. You can use this sample as a reference for creating your own parser.

    See the section about the key attestation extension data schema for more details.

  7. Check the extension data that you've retrieved in the previous steps for consistency and compare with the set of values that you expect the hardware-backed key to contain.

Root certificates

The trustworthiness of the attestation depends on the root certificate of the chain. Android devices that have passed the testing required to have the Google suite of apps, including Google Play, and which launched with Android 7.0 (API level 24) or higher should use attestation keys signed by the Google Hardware Attestation Root certificate. Note that attestation was not required until Android 8.0 (API level 26). The root public key is as follows:

If the root certificate in the attestation chain you receive contains this public key and none of the certificates in the chain have been revoked, you know that:

  1. Your key is in hardware that Google believes to be secure; and
  2. It has the properties described in the attestation certificate.

If the attestation chain has any other root public key, then Google does not make any claims about the security of the hardware. This doesn't mean that your key is compromised, only that the attestation doesn't prove that the key is in secure hardware. Adjust your security assumptions accordingly.

If the root certificate doesn't contain the public key on this page, there are two likely reasons:

  • Most likely, the device launched with an Android version less than 7.0 and it doesn't support hardware attestation. In this case, Android has a software implementation of attestation that produces the same sort of attestation certificate, but signed with a key hardcoded in Android source code. Because this signing key isn't a secret, the attestation might have been created by an attacker pretending to provide secure hardware.
  • The other likely reason is that the device isn't a Google Play device. In that case, the device maker is free to create their own root and to make whatever claims they like about what the attestation means. Refer to the device maker's documentation. Note that as of this writing Google isn't aware of any device makers who have done this.

Certificate revocation status list

Attestation keys can be revoked for a number of reasons, including mishandling or suspected extraction by an attacker. Therefore, it's critical that the status of each certificate in an attestation chain be checked against the official certificate revocation status list (CRL). This list is maintained by Google and published at: https://android.googleapis.com/attestation/status. The Cache-Control header in the HTTP response determines how often to check for updates so a network request is not required for every certificate being verified. This URL returns a JSON file containing the revocation status for any certificates that don't have a normal valid status. The format of the JSON file adheres to the following JSON Schema (draft 07) definition:

      "expires": "2020-11-13",

      "status": "SUSPENDED",
      "reason": "SOFTWARE_FLAW",
      "comment": "Bug in keystore causes this key malfunction b/555555"
    }
  }
}

Legacy CRLs

The CRL URLs embedded in legacy attestation certificates continue to operate. New attestation certificates no longer contain a CRL URL extension. The status of legacy certificates is also included in the attestation status list, so developers can safely switch to using the attestation status list for both new and legacy certificates. An example of how to correctly verify Android attestation keys is included in the Key Attestation sample.

Key attestation extension data schema

The key attestation extension has OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.2.1.17. The extension stores the information according to an ASN.1 schema. To view the schema corresponding to the attestation version that you're using, select the appropriate tab in the following schema listing:

The following list presents a description of each element within the schema:

KeyDescription

This sequence of values presents general information about the key pair being verified through key attestation and provides easy access to additional details.

attestationVersion
The version of the key attestation feature.
ValueVersion
1Keymaster version 2.0
2Keymaster version 3.0
3Keymaster version 4.0
4Keymaster version 4.1
100KeyMint version 1.0
200KeyMint version 2.0
attestationSecurityLevel

The security level of the attestation.

Warning: Although it is possible to attest keys that are stored in the Android system—that is, if the value of attestationSecurityLevel is set to Software—you can't trust these attestations if the Android system becomes compromised.

keymasterVersion / keyMintVersion
The version of the Keymaster or KeyMint hardware abstraction layer (HAL).
ValueVersion
0Keymaster version 0.2 or 0.3
1Keymaster version 1.0
2Keymaster version 2.0
3Keymaster version 3.0
4Keymaster version 4.0
41Keymaster version 4.1
100KeyMint version 1.0
200KeyMint version 2.0
keymasterSecurityLevel / keyMintSecurityLevel
The security level of the Keymaster/KeyMint implementation.
attestationChallenge
Contains the challenge that was provided at key creation time. Check whether this value matches the value your server provided, as stored in the Tag::ATTESTATION_CHALLENGE authorization tag. Otherwise, your service might be vulnerable to replaying of old attestation certificates.
uniqueId
This value identifies the device—but only for a limited period of time. It is computed and is only used by system apps. In all other apps, uniqueId is empty.
softwareEnforced
Optional. The Keymaster / KeyMint authorization list that is enforced by the Android system, not by the device's Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
teeEnforced
Optional. The Keymaster / KeyMint authorization list that is enforced by the device's TEE.

SecurityLevel

This data structure indicates the extent to which a software feature, such as a key pair, is protected based on its location within the device.

Because the data structure is an enumeration, it takes on exactly one of the following values:

Software
The logic for creating and managing the feature is implemented in the Android system. For the purposes of creating and storing key pairs, this location is less secure than the TEE but is more secure than your app's process space.
TrustedEnvironment
The logic for creating and managing the feature is implemented in secure hardware, such as a TEE. For the purposes of creating and storing key pairs, this location is more secure because secure hardware is highly resistant to remote compromise.
StrongBox
The logic for creating and managing the feature is implemented in a dedicated hardware security module. For the purposes of creating and storing key pairs, this location is more secure because it is highly resistant to remote compromise and hardware attacks against the module.

AuthorizationList

This data structure contains the key pair's properties themselves, as defined in the Keymaster or KeyMint hardware abstraction layer (HAL). You compare these values to the device's current state or to a set of expected values to verify that a key pair is still valid for use in your app.

Each field name corresponds to a similarly-named Keymaster / KeyMint authorization tag. For example, the keySize field in an authorization list corresponds to the Tag::KEY_SIZE authorization tag.

Each field in the following list is optional:

purpose
Corresponds to the Tag::PURPOSE authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 1.
algorithm

Corresponds to the Tag::ALGORITHM authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 2.

In an attestation AuthorizationList object, the algorithm value is always RSA or EC.

keySize
Corresponds to the Tag::KEY_SIZE authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 3.
digest
Corresponds to the Tag::DIGEST authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 5.
padding
Corresponds to the Tag::PADDING authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 6.
ecCurve

Corresponds to the Tag::EC_CURVE authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 10.

The set of parameters used to generate an elliptic curve (EC) key pair, which uses ECDSA for signing and verification, within the Android system keystore.

rsaPublicExponent
Corresponds to the Tag::RSA_PUBLIC_EXPONENT authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 200.
mgfDigest

Present only in key attestation version >= 100.

Corresponds to the Tag::RSA_OAEP_MGF_DIGEST KeyMint authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 203.
rollbackResistance

Present only in key attestation version >= 3.

Corresponds to the Tag::ROLLBACK_RESISTANT authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 303.

earlyBootOnly

Present only in key attestation version >= 4.

Corresponds to the Tag::EARLY_BOOT_ONLY authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 305.

activeDateTime
Corresponds to the Tag::ACTIVE_DATETIME authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 400.
originationExpireDateTime
Corresponds to the Tag::ORIGINATION_EXPIRE_DATETIME Keymaster authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 401.
usageExpireDateTime
Corresponds to the Tag::USAGE_EXPIRE_DATETIME authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 402.
usageCountLimit
Corresponds to the Tag::USAGE_COUNT_LIMIT authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 405.
noAuthRequired

Corresponds to the Tag::NO_AUTH_REQUIRED authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 503.

userAuthType
Corresponds to the Tag::USER_AUTH_TYPE authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 504.
authTimeout
Corresponds to the Tag::AUTH_TIMEOUT authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 505.
allowWhileOnBody

Corresponds to the Tag::ALLOW_WHILE_ON_BODY authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 506.

Allows the key to be used after its authentication timeout period if the user is still wearing the device on their body. Note that a secure on-body sensor determines whether the device is being worn on the user's body.

trustedUserPresenceRequired

Present only in key attestation version >= 3.

Corresponds to the Tag::TRUSTED_USER_PRESENCE_REQUIRED authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 507.

Specifies that this key is usable only if the user has provided proof of physical presence. Several examples include the following:

  • For a StrongBox key, a hardware button hardwired to a pin on the StrongBox device.
  • For a TEE key, fingerprint authentication provides proof of presence as long as the TEE has exclusive control of the scanner and performs the fingerprint matching process.
trustedConfirmationRequired

Present only in key attestation version >= 3.

Corresponds to the Tag::TRUSTED_CONFIRMATION_REQUIRED authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 508.

Specifies that the key is usable only if the user provides confirmation of the data to be signed using an approval token. For more information about how to obtain user confirmation, see Android Protected Confirmation.

Note: This tag is only applicable to keys that use the SIGN purpose.

unlockedDeviceRequired

Present only in key attestation version >= 3.

Corresponds to the Tag::UNLOCKED_DEVICE_REQUIRED authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 509.

allApplications

Corresponds to the Tag::ALL_APPLICATIONS authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 600.

Indicates whether all apps on a device can access the key pair.

applicationId
Corresponds to the Tag::APPLICATION_ID authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 601.
creationDateTime
Corresponds to the Tag::CREATION_DATETIME authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 701.
origin

rootOfTrust

Corresponds to the Tag::ROOT_OF_TRUST authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 704.

For more details, see the section describing the RootOfTrust data structure.

osVersion

deviceUniqueAttestation

Present only in key attestation versions >= 4.

Corresponds to the Tag::DEVICE_UNIQUE_ATTESTATION authorization tag, which uses a tag ID value of 720.

RootOfTrust

This collection of values defines key information about the device's status.

Each field in the following list is required:

verifiedBootKey

A secure hash of the key that verifies the system image. It is recommended that you use the SHA-256 algorithm for this hash.

deviceLocked
True if the device's bootloader is locked, which enables Verified Boot checking and prevents an unsigned device image from being flashed onto the device. For more information about this feature, see the Verifying Boot documentation.
verifiedBootState
The boot state of the device, according to the Verified Boot feature.
verifiedBootHash

Present only in key attestation version 3.

A digest of all data protected by Verified Boot. For devices that use the Android Verified Boot implementation of Verified Boot, this value contains the digest of the VBMeta struct, or the Verified Boot metadata structure.

To learn more about how to calculate this value, see The VBMeta Digest.

VerifiedBootState

This data structure provides the device's current boot state, which represents the level of protection provided to the user and to apps after the device finishes booting. For more information about this feature, see the Boot State section within the Verifying Boot documentation.

This data structure is an enumeration, so it takes on exactly one of the following values:

Verified

Indicates a full chain of trust, which includes the bootloader, the boot partition, and all verified partitions.

When the device is in this boot state, the verifiedBootKey is the hash of the device-embedded certificate, which the device manufacturer adds to the device's ROM at the factory.

SelfSigned

Indicates that the device-embedded certificate has verified the device's boot partition and that the signature is valid.

When the device is in this boot state, the verifiedBootKey is the hash of a user-installed certificate, which signs a boot partition that the user adds to the device in place of the original, manufacturer-provided boot partition.

Unverified
Indicates that the user can modify the device freely. Therefore, the user is responsible for verifying the device's integrity.
Failed
Indicates that the device has failed verification. The attestation certificate should never use this value for VerifiedBootState.

AttestationApplicationId

This data structure reflects the Android platform's belief as to which apps are allowed to use the secret key material under attestation. The ID can comprise multiple packages if and only if multiple packages share the same UID. The octet string is itself formatted according to the following ASN.1 schema:

AttestationApplicationId ::= SEQUENCE {
    package_infos  SET OF AttestationPackageInfo,
    signature_digests  SET OF OCTET_STRING,
}

AttestationPackageInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
    package_name  OCTET_STRING,
    version  INTEGER,
}
package_infos
A set of AttestationPackageInfo objects, each providing a package's name and version number.
signature_digests

A set of SHA-256 digests of the app's signing certificates. An app can have multiple signing key certificate chains. For each, the "leaf" certificate is digested and placed in the signature_digests field. The field name is misleading, since the digested data is the app's signing certificates, not the app signatures, because it is named for the Signature class returned by a call to getPackageInfo(). The following code snippet shows an example set:

{SHA256(PackageInfo.signature[0]), SHA256(PackageInfo.signature[1]), ...}

Provisioning information extension data schema

The provisioning information extension has OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.2.1.30. The extension provides information that's known about the device by the provisioning server. This extension follows a CDDL schema.

  {
        1 : int,   ; certificates issued
  }

The map is unversioned and new optional fields may be added.

certs_issued

An approximate number of certificates issued to the device in the last 30 days. This value can be used as a signal for potential abuse if the value is greater than average by some orders of magnitude.
