Description

Data storage method of nonvolatile storage space in chip and credible chip

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of data storage, in particular to a data storage method of a nonvolatile storage space in a chip and a credible chip.

Background

A user may create a non-volatile space in the trusted security chip, and may assign the attributes shown in table 1 to the non-volatile space:

TABLE 1

Fig. 1 shows an interaction diagram of a user acquiring nonvolatile spatial data according to the prior art, as shown in fig. 1, specifically including the following steps:

(1) the owner C initiates a request for accessing the nonvolatile space to the trusted chip T;

(2) the trusted chip T responds to the request of the owner C and requires the owner to feed back a password, a nonvolatile space number and data length;

(3) the owner C returns a password, a nonvolatile space number to be accessed and a nonvolatile data length to the trusted chip T;

(4) the credible chip T verifies the correctness of the password and the nonvolatile space index number, and whether the data length L of the nonvolatile space meets the following formula:

L≤|Last_adress-First_adress| (1)

in the above formula, First _ addresses represents the initial physical address of the nonvolatile space, and Last _ addresses represents the Last physical address of the nonvolatile space.

If the password and the nonvolatile space number are correct, the length L of the acquired data also meets the formula (1), the trusted chip returns the data to be accessed by the owner C, and the process is ended. Otherwise, the flow is terminated directly.

The existing international TCG standard security chip standardizes the fixed size and access authorization of a nonvolatile space of a trusted security chip, and the state identification data in the standard is defaulted to 0 and is easily confused with owner data 0, so that when a user acquires data, part of the acquired data may be the state identification data 0 instead of the data 0 really stored by the user. For example, owner C applies for a 6-byte nonvolatile space that stores 4 bytes of data, as shown in table 2: the owner space number is 1, the owner name is C, the size of the nonvolatile space corresponding to the owner space number is 6 bytes, that is, the data length can be 6 bytes at the maximum, the corresponding physical addresses are FFFFF0 to FFFFF6, 4 bytes are stored in the physical addresses, the owner writes data as "1101", the TCG standard defaults to 00 of two bytes in which data is not written, that is, the owner data is 110100 (the bold italic numbers indicate status data, the bold non-bold numbers indicate owner data, such as the owner data shown in table 1).

TABLE 2

Nv_index	User_name	Password	Nv_Size	Nv_F&L_adress	Data
						1	C	****	6	FFFFF0～FFFFF6	110100

When the stored data is long and changes frequently, the owner C may not remember how long it has stored and what data it has stored, for example, when the owner C and the owner obtain the data length 5 to the user, and in response to the information that the trusted chip requires to be fed back: the user inputs the correct password, the number of the Nv index is 1, and after the trusted chip receives the information, the correctness of the password and the number of the Nv index is verified, the length of the password and the length of the Nv index are also verified to be 5<6 and is within the allowable range, so that the data length of the password and the Nv index is 11010, the original data of the owner C is changed from 1101 to 11010, and data errors are caused.

Aiming at the technical problem that the accuracy of the read original data is poor when the original data is read from the nonvolatile space of the credible security chip in the prior art, an effective solution is not provided at present.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the structure shown in fig. 2 is only an illustration and is not intended to limit the structure of the electronic device. For example, the computer terminal 10 may also include more or fewer components than shown in FIG. 2, or have a different configuration than shown in FIG. 2.

It should be noted that the one or more processors 102 and/or other data processing circuitry described above may be referred to generally herein as "data processing circuitry".

Further, the data processing circuit may be a single stand-alone processing module, or incorporated in whole or in part into any of the other elements in the computer terminal 10 (or mobile device). As referred to in the embodiments of the application, the data processing circuit acts as a processor control (e.g. selection of a variable resistance termination path connected to the interface).

The memory 104 may be used to store software programs and modules of application software, such as program instructions/data storage devices corresponding to the data storage method of the non-volatile storage space in the chip in the embodiment of the present invention, and the processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory 104, that is, implements the vulnerability detection method of the application program.

It should be noted here that in some alternative embodiments, the computer device (or mobile device) shown in fig. 2 described above may include hardware elements (including circuitry), software elements (including computer code stored on a computer-readable medium), or a combination of both hardware and software elements. It should be noted that fig. 2 is only one example of a particular specific example and is intended to illustrate the types of components that may be present in the computer device (or mobile device) described above.

Under the operating environment, the application provides a data storage method of a nonvolatile storage space in a chip as shown in fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a data storage method of a non-volatile memory space in a chip according to embodiment 1 of the present invention, including the following steps:

step S302, a nonvolatile storage space is created in the chip, wherein the attribute of the nonvolatile storage space at least comprises: the parameter is used for representing the storage of owner data in the nonvolatile storage space, and the storage address range of the owner data; wherein the memory address range of the owner data is used to characterize the maximum data length when data requests to the chip are allowed.

In the technical solution defined in the step S302, the storage mode of the nonvolatile storage space may adopt a big-end mode and a small-end mode, where the big-end mode refers to that the high bytes of the data are stored in the low address of the memory, and the low bytes of the data are stored in the high address of the memory; the small-end mode means that the high byte of data is stored in the high address of the memory, and the low byte of data is stored in the internal low address, the storage mode can effectively combine the high and low of the address and the bit weight of the data, the weight of the data in the high address part is high, and the weight of the data in the low address part is low.

It should be noted that, one of the attributes of the nonvolatile storage space is data stored in the nonvolatile storage space by the user, for example, if the data stored by the user is "1101", the data is the owner data stored in the nonvolatile storage space; another attribute of the non-volatile memory space is that the length of the memory address range of the owner data is the maximum data length that allows the user to read the non-volatile memory space, for example, the memory address range of the owner data is: FFFFF 0-FFFFF 6 allows the maximum data length of a user to request data from the chip to be 7. In addition, the nonvolatile storage space is created in the chip, so that the data stored in the chip can not be lost when the equipment is powered off, and the nonvolatile storage space can be used for storing more important data.

Based on the scheme disclosed in step S302 of the foregoing embodiment, it can be known that a nonvolatile storage space is created in the chip, and it can be ensured that data stored in the chip by a user is not lost when the device is powered off, thereby improving the security of data storage.

Optionally, the attribute of the non-volatile storage space further includes at least one of: space number, space owner name, space authorization password, space size and space physical address range.

In an alternative embodiment, table 3 is an attribute table of a non-volatile memory space into which owner data has been written, as shown in table 3.

TABLE 3

In table 3, the space number of the owner is 1, the space owner name is C, the size of the owner space with the owner space number 1 is 6 bytes, that is, the data length can be 6 bytes at the maximum, the corresponding space physical address ranges are fffffff 0 to fffffff 6, 4 bytes are stored in the physical addresses, the storage address ranges are fffffff 1 to FFFFF4, and the written owner data is "1101".

Optionally, fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a data storage method of a non-volatile memory space in a chip after the non-volatile memory space is created in the chip, and as shown in fig. 4, the method further includes the following steps:

step S304 writes the owner data into the nonvolatile memory space, and determines the memory address range of the owner data according to the size of the owner data, wherein the memory address range is determined by the initial memory address and the end memory address of the data block of the owner data.

In an alternative embodiment, when the storage mode of the owner data is the small-end mode, assuming that the size of the owner data is L, the initial storage address of the data block of the owner data, that is, the memory address where the low byte of the owner data is located is Min _ address, and the last storage address of the data block of the owner data, that is, the memory address where the high byte of the owner data is located is Max _ address, L, Min _ address and Max _ address satisfy the following equation:

L≤|Max_adress-Min_adress| (2)

therefore, the last address Max _ address of the owner data and the storage address range of the owner data can be determined from the size L of the owner data and the initial storage address Min _ address of the owner data. For example, if the owner data written in the nonvolatile memory space is "1101" and the size of the owner data is 4 bytes, the length of the storage address range of the owner data is 4 bytes, and if the initial storage address of the owner data at this time is fffffff 1, the end address of the owner data is fffffffff 4, and the storage address ranges of the data blocks of the owner data are fffffffff 1 to fff 4.

Optionally, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for accessing owner data of a non-volatile memory space after writing the owner data into the non-volatile memory space and determining a storage address range of the owner data according to the size of the owner data, where as shown in fig. 5, the method includes the following steps:

step S502, receiving an access request for accessing the nonvolatile storage space;

step S504, respond to and visit the request, receive the data length that authentication information and need request;

step S506, under the condition that the verification information passes, judging whether the data length required to be requested is within the storage address range of the owner data;

in step S508, if the data length required to be requested is within the range of the storage address of the owner data, the content of the owner data is allowed to be returned.

As an optional embodiment, the access device side initiates a request for accessing the nonvolatile space to the trusted chip, and after receiving the nonvolatile space request sent by the access device side, the trusted chip responds to the request of the access device side and requires the access device side to feed back verification information and length information of the owner data; the access device side sends verification information and length information of owner data to the trusted chip, for example, the length of the accessed owner data is 4 bytes; the trusted chip verifies whether the verification information returned by the access device side meets the requirement, and under the condition that the verification information meets the requirement, whether the data length needing to be requested is within the storage address range of the owner data is judged, for example, the data length needing to be requested is 4 bytes, the storage address range of the owner data is FFFFFFF 1-FFFFF 4, the maximum storage length of the owner data is 4 bytes, and the requested data length meets the formula (2), so that the trusted chip allows the access to the owner data, and returns the owner data with the storage address ranges FFF 1-FFFFF 4.

It should be noted that the verification information may be used to verify whether the access device side has the right to access and determine the location of the access device side for accessing the data, so as to further improve the accuracy of accessing the data.

Optionally, if the data length required to be requested is outside the storage address range of the owner data, the process of acquiring the owner data is suspended, and/or prompt information for representing the failure of the request is output.

As an optional embodiment, in a case that the trusted chip verifies that the verification information returned by the access device side meets the requirement, the trusted chip further determines whether the data length that needs to be requested is within the storage address range of the owner data, and if the data length that needs to be requested is outside the storage address range of the owner data, for example, the data length that needs to be requested is 4 bytes, the storage address range of the owner data is FFFFF1 to FFFFF3, the maximum storage length of the owner data is 3 bytes, and the requested data length does not satisfy formula (2), so that the trusted chip does not allow access to the owner data, directly terminates the flow, and outputs prompt information that the request fails.

Optionally, the verification information at least includes at least one of the following: the space number, password, which needs to be accessed.

As an optional embodiment, verifying the space number to be accessed may confirm whether the space number is stored in the trusted chip, and further verifying the password may confirm whether the user currently accessing has an access right, so as to further improve the accuracy of accessing data.

Optionally, in the case that the verification information fails, a prompt message that the owner data cannot be acquired is returned.

In an optional embodiment, the space number that the user needs to access is 2, but the trusted chip does not have owner data with the space number of 2, in this case, the process of acquiring the owner data is stopped, and a prompt message is sent to the access device to prompt that the owner data with the space number of 2 does not exist. In another optional embodiment, the space number that the user needs to access is 2, and the trusted chip has owner data with the space number of 2, and when it is detected that the password is not correct, the process of acquiring the owner data is also stopped, and a prompt message is sent to the access device to prompt that the password is incorrect and require the access device to operate again.

In a preferred embodiment, owner C applies for a 6-byte nonvolatile space that holds 4 bytes of data, as shown in Table 4: the owner space number Nv _ index is 1, the space owner name User _ name is C, and the space Size Nv _ Size corresponding to the owner space number 1 is 6 bytes, that is, the maximum data length can be 6 bytes; the corresponding physical addresses are fffffff 0 to FFFFF6, 4 bytes are stored in the physical addresses, the Data written by the owner is "1101", the TCG standard defaults that the Data of the owner Data not written is 00, that is, the Data entry Data is 110100 (the italicized numbers indicate status Data, and the non-italicized numbers indicate owner Data, such as the owner Data shown in table 4).

TABLE 4

When the stored data is long and changes frequently, the owner may not remember how long the data length is stored in the storage space, for example, when the owner mainly seeks to obtain the data length 5 to the trusted chip and responds to the information that the trusted chip requires feedback, including: after the owner inputs the correct password and the space number Nv _ index 1, the trusted chip receives the verification information, verifies that the password and the space number are fed back correctly, verifies that the length 5 of the data required to be acquired is larger than the length 4 of the owner data, and prompts that the requested data exceeds a pre-stored range because the requested data length is not in the range allowed to be accessed by the trusted chip, and then terminates the process of acquiring the owner data.

The trusted computing can perform safety protection while computing operation, so that the computing result is always consistent with expectation, and the whole computing process can be measured and controlled without interference.

The core elements of trusted computing are a chain of trust and a root of trust, where trusted computing may frame a trusted computing environment through a chain of trust mechanism. In the case that the root of trust is a trusted chip containing a non-volatile memory space, there is another alternative embodiment, which is specifically as follows:

currently, Trusted computing has two technical routes, namely a domestic Trusted Platform Control Module (TPCM) and a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) of the international TCG standard organization.

The core elements of Trusted computing are a Trusted chain and a Trusted root, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the TCG specification is a hardware Trusted root of a Trusted computing Platform, and the TPM is a security chip providing protected secure storage and cryptographic operation capabilities. The TPM is physically connected to the computing platform and to the CPU via an external bus, for example a PC platform, which is directly fixed to the motherboard and connected via an LPC bus.

The definition of trustworthiness (trusted) is given in the TCG specification: an entity is always operating in a predictable manner for a particular target. The core mechanism of trusted computing is to construct a trusted computing environment through a trust chain mechanism, and whether a current running entity is trusted is the basis of establishing whether the previous running process of a system is trusted. Based on the trust relationship, if the system starts from an initial trust root, the trust can be maintained in a transfer mode at each conversion of the platform computing environment, so that a first-level verification first-level trust chain is established on the computing platform, the computing environment is always trusted, and the computing environment can be trusted by a local user or a remote entity. Fig. 6 shows a schematic structural diagram of a TCG trust chain, as shown in fig. 6, in which a solid arrow represents a trusted measurement connection, a dashed arrow represents a trusted report connection, a bold solid arrow represents a trusted storage connection, and a bold dashed arrow represents a trusted network connection.

The key technology of the trusted computing comprises a trusted measurement, a trusted report, a trusted storage, a trusted network connection and the like.

The trusted platform control module TPCM realizes the basic function of the trusted platform module, the function composition is basically the same as that of the TPM, but because the core measurement root CRTM of the TPM is in the BIOS of the basic input and output system and is not protected by the TPM, the TPCM proposes a new trusted measurement root design, solves the problem of the initial measurement point of the trusted measurement root, changes the starting and measurement sequence, establishes the trust chain measurement flow taking the chip as the trust root on the basis, realizes the control of the chip on the starting, I/O interface control, system configuration and the like of the whole system, and embodies the control effect of the chip on the system credibility.

In the operation control transmission process of the computing platform, the TPCM judges whether the authenticity and the integrity of the next-level execution code are tampered, if not, the system transmits the operation control right to the next-level trusted execution code, and the trusted range of the system is expanded to the next-level function code; similarly, the system control power is continuously transmitted, so that the establishment and transmission process of a trust chain can be realized, and finally the trusted construction of the system range is realized. A complete system trusted transfer process is started from a trusted root, and the system control right is sequentially transferred from the trusted platform control module to the trusted BIOS, then to the trusted operating system loader, then from the trusted operating system loader to the trusted operating system, and then from the trusted operating system to the trusted application.

The trusted security chip has the function of generating encryption and decryption keys, can also perform high-speed data encryption and decryption, and serves as an auxiliary processor for protecting the BIOS and the operating system from being modified.

The TPM security chip has wide application range, and can realize the following application by matching with special software:

(1) and storing and managing the BIOS starting password and the hard disk password. In the past, the transactions are all done by BIOS, and friends who play may know that the password is cleared only by taking off the CMOS battery and discharging the CMOS battery after forgetting the password. These keys are now actually stored in memory locations that are fixed to the chip, and their information is not lost even if power is lost. Compared with the BIOS management password, the security of the TPM security chip is greatly improved.

(2) The TPM security chip can perform a wide range of encryption. The TPM security chip can encrypt system login and application software login except for traditional startup encryption and hard disk encryption. For example, the login information and the password of the MSN, the QQ, the online game and the online bank can be encrypted by the TPM and then transmitted, so that the information and the password are not worried about being stolen by people.

(3) Any partition of the hard disk is encrypted. Any hard disk partition on the notebook can be encrypted, and some sensitive files can be put into the partition to make security. For example, some vendors use a one-key recovery function, which is one of the centralized embodiments of this use (which places the system image in a TPM-encrypted partition). There are also large commercial software companies (e.g., Microsoft) that utilize it as a means of encrypting partitions (e.g., the well-known BitLocker).

It should be noted that, for simplicity of description, the above-mentioned method embodiments are described as a series of acts or combination of acts, but those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention is not limited by the order of acts, as some steps may occur in other orders or concurrently in accordance with the invention. Further, those skilled in the art should also appreciate that the embodiments described in the specification are preferred embodiments and that the acts and modules referred to are not necessarily required by the invention.

Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiments can be implemented by software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and certainly can also be implemented by hardware, but the former is a better implementation mode in many cases. Based on such understanding, the technical solutions of the present invention may be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM/RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk) and includes instructions for enabling a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, a computer, a server, or a network device) to execute the method according to the embodiments of the present invention.

step 708, if the data length required to be requested is within the range of the storage address of the owner data, allowing the content of the owner data to be returned; wherein the memory address range of the owner data is used to characterize the maximum data length when data requests to the chip are allowed.

In the scheme defined in steps S702 to S708, the access chip may be a trusted chip, and the trusted chip includes a nonvolatile memory space. When the storage mode of the owner data is the small-end mode, assuming that the size of the owner data is L, the initial storage address of the data block of the owner data, that is, the memory address where the low byte of the owner data is located, is Min _ address, and the last storage address of the data block of the owner data, that is, the memory address where the high byte of the owner data is located, is Max _ address, L, Min _ address and Max _ address satisfy the following formula:

L≤|Max_adress-Min_adress|

initiating a request for accessing the nonvolatile space to a trusted chip at an access equipment end, responding the request of the access equipment end after the trusted chip receives the nonvolatile space request sent by the access equipment end, and requiring the access equipment end to feed back verification information and length information of owner data; the access device side sends verification information and length information of owner data to the trusted chip, for example, the length of the accessed owner data is 4 bytes; the trusted chip verifies whether the verification information returned by the access device side meets the requirement, and under the condition that the verification information meets the requirement, whether the data length required to be requested is within the storage address range of the owner data is judged, for example, the data length required to be requested is 4 bytes, the storage address range of the owner data is FFFFF 1-FFFFF 4, the maximum storage length of the owner data is 4 bytes, and the requested data length meets the formula:

L≤|Max_adress-Min_adress|

thus, the trusted chip allows access to owner data and returns owner data having a memory address range of FFFFF1 through FFFFF 4.

It should be noted that the verification information may be used to verify whether the access device side has the right to access and determine the location of the access device side for accessing the data, so as to further improve the accuracy of accessing the data. The storage mode of the nonvolatile storage space can adopt a big-end mode and a small-end mode, wherein the big-end mode refers to that high bytes of data are stored in a low address of the memory, and the low bytes of the data are stored in a high address of the memory; the small-end mode means that the high byte of data is stored in the high address of the memory, and the low byte of data is stored in the internal low address, the storage mode can effectively combine the high and low of the address and the bit weight of the data, the weight of the data in the high address part is high, and the weight of the data in the low address part is low.

Based on the solutions disclosed in steps S702 to S708 in the above embodiments, it can be known that after a nonvolatile storage space is created in a chip, owner data is written into the nonvolatile storage space, a storage address range of the owner data is determined according to the size of the owner data, and data that needs to be obtained by the owner is returned according to the size of the owner data and the storage address range of the owner data, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately obtaining the owner data, thereby achieving the technical effect of ensuring the correctness of obtaining the original data by the owner, and further solving the technical problem that when the original data is read from the nonvolatile space of a trusted security chip in the prior art, the accuracy of the read original data is poor.

L≤|Max_adress-Min_adress|

As an optional embodiment, in a case that the trusted chip verifies that the verification information returned by the access device side meets the requirement, the trusted chip further determines whether the data length required to be requested is within the storage address range of the owner data, and if the data length required to be requested is outside the storage address range of the owner data, for example, the data length required to be requested is 4 bytes, the storage address range of the owner data is fffffff 1 to FFFFF3, the maximum storage length of the owner data is 3 bytes, and the requested data length does not satisfy the formula L ≦ Max _ addresses-Min _ addresses |, so that the trusted chip does not allow access to the owner data, directly terminates the flow, and outputs prompt information indicating that the request fails.
