TDX Guest

This project offers libraries for a simple wrapper around quote providing tools such as the go-configfs-tsm library, or the /dev/tdx_guest device in Linux, as well as a library for attestation verification of fundamental components of an attestation quote.

This project is split into two complementary roles. The first role is producing an attestation quote, and the second is checking an attestation quote. The client library produces quote, the verify library verifies quote's signatures and certificates.

client

This library should be used within the confidential workload to collect an attestation quote along with requisite certificates.

Your main interactions with it will be to first get the quote provider, or open the device, then get an attestation quote with your provided 64 bytes of user data (typically a nonce), and then close the device. For convenience, the attestation with its associated certificates can be collected in a wire-transmittable protocol buffer format.

func GetQuoteProvider() (*LinuxConfigFsQuoteProvider, error)

This function creates an instance of a quote provider which uses the go-configfs-tsm library to fetch attestation quotes via ConfigFS.

func OpenDevice() (*LinuxDevice, error)

This function creates a file descriptor to the /dev/tdx_guest device and returns an object that has methods encapsulating commands to the device. When done, remember to Close() the device. Note:- The Device interface is deprecated, and use of quote provider interface is recommended for fetching attestation quote.

func GetQuote(quoteProvider any, reportData [64]byte) (any, error)

This function takes an object implementing either the QuoteProvider interface (e.g. LinuxConfigFsQuoteProvider), or the Device interface (e.g., a LinuxDevice) along with report data which typically consists of a nonce value. It returns the protocol buffer representation of the attestation quote.

You can use GetRawQuote to get the TDX Quote in byte array format.

func (d Device) Close() error

Closes the device.

verify

This library will check the signature, certificate chain and basic well-formedness properties of an attestation quote. The requirements for quote well-formedness come from the Intel TDX specification, and the requirements for certificate well-formedness come from the Intel PCK Certificate specification.

The presence of the PCK Certificate Chain within the input attestation quote is expected.

func TdxQuote(quote *pb.QuoteV4, options *Options) error

This function verifies that the attestation has a valid signature and certificate chain. It provides an optional verification against the collateral obtained from the Intel PCS API and also offers an optional check against the certificate revocation list (CRL). By default, the option to verify against collaterals and the certificate revocation list(CRL) is disabled. The verification using collaterals is based on Intel PCS API specification documentation.

Example expected invocation:

verify.TdxQuote(myAttestation, verify.Options())

Options type

This type contains five fields:

• GetCollateral bool: if true, then TdxQuote will download the collateral from Intel PCS API service and check against collateral obtained. Must be true if CheckRevocations is true.
• CheckRevocations bool: if true, then TdxQuote will download the certificate revocation list (CRL) from Intel PCS API service and check for revocations.
• Getter HTTPSGetter: if nil, uses DefaultHTTPSGetter(). The HTTPSGetter interface consists of a single method Get(url string) (map[string][]string, []byte, error) that should return the headers and body of the HTTPS response.
• Now time.Time: if nil, uses time.Now(). It is the time at which to verify the validity of certificates and collaterals.
• TrustedRoots *x509.CertPool: if nil, uses the library's embedded certificate. Certificate chain verification is performed using trusted roots.
