AMI-Bios Sourcecode and UEFI Signing Key leaked?

Re:AMI-Bios Sourcecode and UEFI Signing Key leaked? by cnvogel on Friday April 05, 2013 @02:15PM (#5500054)

I admit that I have no idea at all about all that UEFI signing stuff, but the only thing in the "Keys" directory that does not look completely like random data is this, and "DO NOT TRUST - AMI Test PK0" looks more like something I'd distribute among my development team for testing, but would definitely not be the real thing:

Asymmetric keys do look like lots of completely random data. What you've found is likely some kind of fingerprints (hashes).

If there are indeed some keys on this server they could be real, after all this code wasn't supposed to ever go public.

Yes, but you'd expect the key (Keys/FW/.priKey) to be accompanied by some useful metadata (naming the entity the key belongs to, and a certificate from microsoft validating the key) to be added to the firmware image, wouldn't you? And if there's only certificates containing "DO NOT USE" text?

But certainly, I have no idea about all that. If someone could post commands how to verify (or at least dump) connection between DER encoded RSA keys and the PK/KEK/db/dbx files (which seem to have a 40byte header, then, again DER data)... that could shed some additional light on these matters.

There'd be no reason to expect the firmware signing key to have any relation to any of the certificates used in Secure Boot. They're used for separate purposes.

You may have to remove the === BEGIN/END blah === header and run the result through 'base64 -d' first.

     openssl asn1parse (-text or -dump I forget) -inform (pem or der) -in [filename]

The private key should list 'P', 'Q', and the 'modulus'. If the modulus is the same as in the public key, it's the same.

Those are certs. The private key is in /018s/Keys/FW/.priKey

and starts with:

    bash-3.2$ hexdump .priKey | more
    0000000 30 82 04 a3 02 01 00 02 82 01 01 00 ed 71 d6 3f
    0000010 21 ff 0b 45 63 a4 3d 87 1d 22 44 8f c9 b5 84 08

It's more readable with

openssl rsa -inform DER -in Ivy_Bridge_018s/Keys/FW/.priKey -text

But still, I don't know how to verify that this key is not the one refered to by the "DO NOT USE" certs (which, to me, sounds pretty reasonable to assume).

You are right. This could mean that the key just works on developer boards and is not the one used in production.
