  • While signing images is useful, it does not provide complete protection
    against several types of attack. For example, it it possible to create a
    FIT with the same signed images, but with the configuration changed such
    that a different one is selected (mix and match attack). It is also possible
    to substitute a signed image from an older FIT version into a newer FIT
    (roll-back attack).

    Add support for signing of FIT configurations using the libfdt's region
    support.

    Please see doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.

  • RSA provides a public key encryption facility which is ideal for image
    signing and verification.

    Images are signed using a private key by mkimage. Then at run-time, the
    images are verified using a private key.

    This implementation uses openssl for the host part (mkimage). To avoid
    bringing large libraries into the U-Boot binary, the RSA public key
    is encoded using a simple numeric representation in the device tree.

  • Add support for signing images using a new signature node. The process
    is handled by fdt_add_verification_data() which now takes parameters to
    provide the keys and related information.

  • Add a structure to describe an algorithm which can sign and (later) verify
    images.
