2# PSA Secure Debug: Arm ADAC Test Suite
3
4## Introduction
5
6### ADAC Specification
7
8The [ADAC specification](https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0101/0001) defines the protocol that allows a target to securely authenticate a debug host. The specification targets software-only layers that are above the physical debug link.
9
10### ADAC test suite
11
12The ADAC test suite checks if a device-side implementation conforms to the behavior described in the ADAC specification. The tests:
13 - Are self-checking and portable, written in C with directed stimulus.
14 - Are expected to run on the host platform only.
15 - Drive the commands from the host platform through the debug link and verify the response obtained from the target platform.
16 - Are available as open source.
17 - And the corresponding abstraction layers are available with an Apache v2.0 license allowing for external contribution.
18
19## Release details
20 - Release Version - 0.8
21 - Code Quality: Beta <br/>
22
23 - The ADAC tests are written for version beta of the ADAC specification.
24 - This test suite is not a substitute for design verification.
25
26## Layers
27
28ADAC tests use a layered software-stack approach to enable porting across different test platforms. The constituents of the layered stack are:
29 - Test suite
30 - Validation Abstraction Layer (VAL)
31 - Platform Abstraction Layer (PAL)
32
33These tests are written on top of VAL and PAL.
34
35The abstraction layers provide platform information and runtime environment to enable execution of the tests.
36
37In this release, PAL implementation for the 'emulation' target uses Unix sockets as the link layer to send commands and receive responses. Arm also provides support for executing the test suite on the 'Musca-b1' hardware board by adding a 'musca_b1' target which uses memory window protocol as the link layer.
38
39You can also write your own abstraction layer implementations to allow ADAC tests to run on other host platforms and support the debug link layer.
40
41## Scenarios
42
43The mapping of the rules to the test cases and the steps followed in the tests are mentioned in the [Scenario document](docs/psa_adac_scenarios.md) present in the docs/ folder.
44
45## Getting started
46
47
48Follow the instructions in the subsequent sections to get a copy of the source code on your local machine and build the tests. <br/>
49See [Arm Authenticated Debug Access Control Test Suite User guide](docs/Arm_Authenticated_Debug_Access_Control_Test_Suite_User_Guide.pdf) to get details on the steps involved in porting the test suite to your platform.
50This test suite is provided as a separate directory within the psa-arch-tests repository.
51
52### Prerequisites
53
54Before starting the test suite build, ensure that the following requirements are met:
55
56- Host Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.4, RHEL 7, Windows 10
57- Scripting tools: Python 3.7.1
58- Other open-source tools: GNUARM 6.3.1, GCC 5.4.0 32-Bit (Linux Host), MinGW 6.3.0 32-Bit (Windows Host)
59 CMake 3.10 or later

62## Download source
63To download the main branch of the repository, type the following command:
64
65 git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/psa-arch-tests.git
66
67To download the main branch of the psa-adac repository, navigate to the secure debug directory and type the following command:
68

71Note:
72 To receive access to the psa-adac repository and some of its dependent submodules, Arm licensees may contact Arm through their partner managers.
73
74
75## Porting steps
76
77See the [Porting Guide](docs/porting_guide_adac_host.md) for porting steps for your host platform.
78See the [User Guide](docs/Arm_Authenticated_Debug_Access_Control_Test_Suite_User_Guide.pdf) in the docs/ folder for additional details.
79
80## Build steps
81
82To build ADAC test suite for a given host platform, execute the following commands: <br/>
83~~~
84 cd psa-arch-tests/secure-debug
85 git clone git@github.com:ARMmbed/psa-adac.git --recurse-submodules
86 cp psa_adac_ats.patch psa-adac/.
87 cd psa-adac/
88 git apply psa_adac_ats.patch
89 cd ..
90 mkdir <host_build_dir>
91 cd <host_build_dir>
92 cmake ../ -G<generator-name> -DTARGET=<target-name> -DSUITE=<suite-selection> -DLINK_LAYER_COMM=<link-layer>
93 where:
94 - <generator-name> "Unix Makefiles" - to generate Makefiles for Linux and Cygwin
95 "MinGW Makefiles" - to generate Makefiles for cmd.exe on Windows
96 - <target-name> target to build, as created in the platform/hosts directory
97 - <suite-selection> ADAC - specify the ADAC suite
98 - <link-layer> link layer for the host platform, optional for emulation target
99
100 To build project
101 cmake --build .
102 To clean
103 cmake --build . -- clean
104~~~
105
106Note:
107 Arm recommends running different build configurations in separate directories. Refer to the host-platform specific README for information on additional build options.
108
109### Build output
110
111The following ADAC test suite build outputs are available under host build directory, as created.
112
113 - psa_adac_test executable
114 - val and platform layer libraries
115
116For running the test suite on the emulation platform, see the [Readme](platform/hosts/emulation/unix_socket/README.md).<br/>
117For running the test suite on the Musca-b1 hardware platform, see the [Readme](platform/hosts/musca_b1/memw_pyocd/README.md).<br/>
118
119Note:
120 - See the psa-adac directory for information on other target platforms.
121 - The keys and the certificate credentials for a supported cryptosystem can be generated using the tools provided in the psa-adac repository.
122 - The test suite is designed to run once per supported cryptosystem. Ensure that the device must be provisioned with the correct certificates installed in the device's RoT.
123
124## Security implication
125
126ADAC test suite may run at higher privilege level. An attacker can utilize these tests to elevate privilege which can potentially reveal the platform Secure attests. To prevent such security vulnerabilities into the production system, it is recommended that ADAC test suite is run on development platforms. If it is run on production system, make sure system is scrubbed after running the test suite.
