[security] Introducing signing support to MySensors


  • Hardware Contributor

    Very interesting. So your board will be a great addition. I will follow your work for sure!
    Thank you very much for your help.



  • Hi @all!

    First off all: thanks for your great work 🙂
    I am about to compile the ethernet gw with software signing, but unfortunately I am getting some compile errors.
    Does anyone maybe have a sketch handy and would up it here?

    Thanks in advance and best regards,

    Otto

    Sorry, but that is not possible on Arduino Nano. There is not enough flash available to support both ethernet and software signing. You have to use ATSHA for an ethernet gw.



  • @Anticimex:
    Thanks, but I am trying to compile it for an UNO R3?! That should do it. Nevertheless: Using nanos only for nodes should work with sw signing, shouldnt it?

    @otto001
    Yep. It is the ethernet stack that costs the most.
    I need you to post the compiler error you get though in order to help you.



  • I used the latest devel-branch from github.

    This is the error:

     * 
     * DESCRIPTION
     * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the ethernet link. 
     * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
     *
     * The GW code is designed for Arduino 328p / 16MHz.  ATmega168 does not have enough memory to run this program.
     * 
     *
     * COMPILING WIZNET (W5100) ETHERNET MODULE
     * > Edit RF24_config.h in (libraries\MySensors\utility) to enable softspi (remove // before "#define SOFTSPI").
     *
     * COMPILING ENC28J60 ETHERNET MODULE
     * > Use Arduino IDE 1.5.7 (or later) 
     * > Disable DEBUG in Sensor.h before compiling this sketch. Othervise the sketch will probably not fit in program space when downloading. 
     * > Remove Ethernet.h include below and include UIPEthernet.h 
     * > Remove DigitalIO include 
     * Note that I had to disable UDP and DHCP support in uipethernet-conf.h to reduce space. (which means you have to choose a static IP for that module)
     *
     * VERA CONFIGURATION:
     * Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin. 
     * E.g. If you want to use the defualt values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
     *
     * LED purposes:
     * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
     * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
     * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error  
     * 
     * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway for wiring instructions.

    @otto001
    Hm. Looks like you have a problem with your settings for soft SPI. The errors are not related to the signing backend.
    I suspect a problem in MyConfig.h but I have not been up to speed with the changes on development nor have I dabbled with soft SPI. I run "hardware" SPI. @hek maybe knows what setting is wrong for your problem to occur. Could be that the soft SPI driver does not take UNO boards into account?



  • @Anticimex:

    Thanks anyway! I will try again without signing. Maybe there is a problem in the recent devel-branch. With stable 1.4 it compiled without any issues...
    /update: does not compile with the "standard" ethernet-gw sketch too.... not related to signing...


  • Contest Winner

    @otto001
    Alright. Thanks for confirming. I had a rough period on development with the signing support when I was developing it. Other commits kept breaking it (not intentionally but because there was other changes to the init sequences and such which did not take signing into account). And I have been busy doing other things so I have not refreshed my own sketches to HEAD on development for a couple of months so I am uncertain on the working state at the moment, but I trust @hek to let me know if something breaks again 🙂
    I will get back on track soon I hope but project 👶 is coming up and is sure to mess quite a bit with my schedule 🙂 so I trust others to keep me informed if signing support should fail.



  • I do not understand how to set the Backend in the myconfig.h.

    "you need to decide what signing backend to use. This is done in MyConfig.h"

    But how? Just by commenting out the Pin Define?


  • Contest Winner

    My post is not really up2date with the code at the moment (at least on development branch). You now pick you backend by argument to the MySensor constructor. I will check with @hek how we should handle this post when master and development are diverging.



  • Thank you for your quick reply 🙂 Now it is clearer to me.


  • Contest Winner

    Good! I will look into how the post can be clearer and handle the code specifics better with respect to both "master" and "development" where applicable. Sorry for the discrepancy 🙂


  • Contest Winner

    First post updated to better reflect the state of the 'development' branch. Signing is currently not available on 'master'.


  • Hardware Contributor

    Hi @Anticimex,

    I read your first post and followed it, it was very interesting and comprehensible. So I am trying autentication to see how it looks. I entered the key in a Gateway (nano) and a mini pro node. The mini is running DHT Humidity sketch (I know it is not very interesting node for autentication but it's easy on breadboard). I am using latest dev branch. Communication seems to work but i am a little confused with serial output on GW as I see some no sign. It seems that humidity is ok, but not the temperature child.. but I am not sure.

    What do you think I am doing wrong?

    Edit: I am getting others nosign... Does presentation and version messages uses autentication too? because they seem to be ok but not the child sensors value..

    Here is GW logs:

    @scalz Thanks.
    Could you please also post the construction code of your MySensor object.
    And also your MyConfig.h changes (where you enable the signing functionality). Don't post your private key though 🙂
    The initial setup is all signed and well but then your node seem to not even attempt to sign the data it sends (because it should have sent a c=3,t=16 and waited for a c=3,t=17 prior to any sensor data).
    I see from the first two messages that the gateway has been informed that your sensor require signatures (of messages from the gateway). And the gateway do respond that it also require signautres but for some reason your sensor do not sign the sensor values (the presentation handshaking is transmitted in signed form as expected).
    I don't have a quick answer to why your node does not sign it's sensor data. Could you also share your code that transmits (in your sketch that is). Perhaps the easiest is to post the entire sketch 🙂 (WITHOUT your private key).

    I am afraid I have to prioritize my newborn son, so I hope for understanding if my replies will be delayed. @hek might know if something has happened on dev branch that could affect signing. I did thoroughly test it when it was submitted but I have not been keeping track on activities on dev for a while now.

    @Anticimex: Congratulation for your son! it is not hurry, no problem. and thank you for taking time.
    So maybe I am missing something, because I have no key in the sketch??? I am using ATSHA hardware chip.. The key is stored by using SHAPersonalizer, isn't it??

    I have not made any changes in Myconfig.h as it is default enabled. So it is like this:

    // Disable to completly disable signing functionality in library
    #define MY_SIGNING_FEATURE
    

    And the node sketch:

    #include <SPI.h>
    #include <MyTransportNRF24.h>
    #include <MyHwATMega328.h>
    #include <MySensor.h> 
    #include <DHT.h>  
    #include <MySigningAtsha204.h>
    
    #define CHILD_ID_HUM 0
    #define CHILD_ID_TEMP 1
    #define HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN 5
    unsigned long SLEEP_TIME = 30000; // Sleep time between reads (in milliseconds)
    
    MyTransportNRF24 radio;  // NRFRF24L01 radio driver
    MyHwATMega328 hw; // Select AtMega328 hardware profile
    MySigningAtsha204 signer; // Select HW ATSHA signing backend
    MySensor gw(radio, hw, signer);
    
    DHT dht;
    float lastTemp;
    float lastHum;
    boolean metric = true; 
    MyMessage msgHum(CHILD_ID_HUM, V_HUM);
    MyMessage msgTemp(CHILD_ID_TEMP, V_TEMP);
    
    
    void setup()  
    { 
      gw.begin(NULL, 10);
      dht.setup(HUMIDITY_SENSOR_DIGITAL_PIN); 
    
      // Send the Sketch Version Information to the Gateway
      gw.sendSketchInfo("Humidity", "1.0");
    
      // Register all sensors to gw (they will be created as child devices)
      gw.present(CHILD_ID_HUM, S_HUM);
      gw.present(CHILD_ID_TEMP, S_TEMP);
      
      metric = gw.getConfig().isMetric;
    }
    
    void loop()      
    {  
      delay(dht.getMinimumSamplingPeriod());
    
      float temperature = dht.getTemperature();
      if (isnan(temperature)) {
          Serial.println("Failed reading temperature from DHT");
      } else if (temperature != lastTemp) {
        lastTemp = temperature;
        if (!metric) {
          temperature = dht.toFahrenheit(temperature);
        }
        gw.send(msgTemp.set(temperature, 1));
        Serial.print("T: ");
        Serial.println(temperature);
      }
      
      float humidity = dht.getHumidity();
      if (isnan(humidity)) {
          Serial.println("Failed reading humidity from DHT");
      } else if (humidity != lastHum) {
          lastHum = humidity;
          gw.send(msgHum.set(humidity, 1));
          Serial.print("H: ");
          Serial.println(humidity);
      }
    
      gw.sleep(SLEEP_TIME); //sleep a bit
    }
    

    and in Serial Gateway, I have only changed this:

    // Message signing driver (signer needed if MY_SIGNING_FEATURE is turned on in MyConfig.h)
    //MySigningNone signer;
    //MySigningAtsha204Soft signer;
    MySigningAtsha204 signer;
    
    // Hardware profile 
    MyHwATMega328 hw;
    
    // Construct MySensors library (signer needed if MY_SIGNING_FEATURE is turned on in MyConfig.h)
    // To use LEDs blinking, uncomment WITH_LEDS_BLINKING in MyConfig.h
    #ifdef WITH_LEDS_BLINKING

    @scalz Thanks 🙂
    Correct. With HW ATSHA204A no key in the sketch is necessary.
    And your setup seem ok since there are signed messages being passed successfully so the HW seem ok.

    Perhaps you could add a debug print that dumps your messages in the gateway before they are checked for signatures in MySensor::process?
    Just put debug(PSTR("read: %d-%d-%d s=%d,c=%d,t=%d,pt=%d,l=%d,sg=%d\n"), msg.sender, msg.last, msg.destination, msg.sensor, mGetCommand(msg), msg.type, mGetPayloadType(msg), mGetLength(msg), mGetSigned(msg)); before #ifdef MY_SIGNING_FEATURE.
    You could also do the corresponding thing in your nodes MySensor::sendRoute function so we can see what data you send in order to determine why your node has decided it should not be signed.

    It could be you stumbled over a library bug because I see in the code that in sendRoute the if case looks funky.
    It says:
    if (DO_SIGN(message.destination) && message.sender == nc.nodeId && !mGetAck(message) && mGetLength(msg) &&
    but I think it should say
    if (DO_SIGN(message.destination) && message.sender == nc.nodeId && !mGetAck(message) && mGetLength(message) &&
    Try to change this and see what happens. I have a strong suspicion that your node's msg buffer is empty, and sendRoute therefore don't sign the message because it gets the length from the wrong buffer.

    @hek if @scalz tests this successfully, could you patch it? I think it is a bug that it checks mGetLength(msg) and not mGetLength(message) in MySensor::sendRoute.

    @Anticimex
    I could probably fix it tonight if it turns out wrong.


  • Hardware Contributor

    @Anticimex @Hek
    Thank you very much for debugging!
    First, I tried to add the debug watch. And like you said it seems there was no value.
    Then, I looked at sendRoute like you advised, and oh!, it makes sense. A tiny small bug is living there !
    So I changed mGetLength(msg) with mGetLength(message)
    And now... it seems to work well! yeah! I am so happy 😃

    If you want below is my GW logs (with the debug watch too), but I think it's ok now. there is no unwanted "nosign" anymore.

    I have just a last question regarding signature :

    • in the future, when Mysensors new version will be released, does the controller will have to check the signature and to store the PSK? I think so, as the logs shows it is crypted. For doing this we should inspire ourselves
      with your atsha_soft, isn't it? It is just curiosity of mine, as I am looking at your libs, and I am thinking about what changes will be involved on controller side when the moment will come for plugin update...

    Now, I have to check the atsha soft version too, then ota with the recently great improvement of tekka..., and understand all new changes in the message format...lots of things.
    I like this lib! 1.4 is smart, but dev branch looks very well done and much more optimized.

    See you soon!


  • Contest Winner

    @scalz Great! Thanks for finding and testing this.
    I am not sure I understand your question. You mean to store the PSK of atsha_soft in encrypted form in the sketch? That is difficult since the encryption secret then needs to be stored somewhere as well.
    I would recommend (if you do use atsha_soft) to burn the fuses to prevent memory readout to protect the PSK.
    Normally, this implementation is stored in the gateway which should be physically protected in any case, so the need to protekt PSK in the gateway is less critical than in a node which may be located "outside".

    Secure OTA is currently unsupported. It might be supported in the future.


  • Hardware Contributor

    Oh, sorry for my bad english!
    Is signing just between a Node and a Gateway. or is the controller involved too? Maybe it's a dumb question, I have not checked yet the changes in message.
    For OTA, I understand it is not suppported by signature as you explained in your tuto. But, in the other hand, I think that for initiating an ota, it should need a signed message, so I think it is good.


  • Contest Winner

    @scalz You decide if your component will require signatures when you create your signer. That is, if you want your gateway to be able to sign messages sent to an actuator (like a lock) but you don't want your gateway to require signed messages from your nodes, you pass a argument to the constructor like this:
    MySigningAtsha204 signer(false);
    That will

    • Configure that node/gw to support signed message processing using HW ATSHA
    • Have that node/gw inform others that it does not require signed messages
    • Still permit that node/gw to sign messages sent to other nodes/gw who do requre signing

    If you stick to default constructor arguments or pass true, the difference is that the node/gw will also inform others that it requires signed messages, and will ignore/discard any message that is not signed which it receive (and is targeted to that particular node/gw). It will not affect messages which are to be relayed, so the node will still work as a relay for unsigned messages.


  • Hardware Contributor

    @Anticimex:
    ok, it is good to know. You have thought about everything!
    If signer(true) for gateway, Will the controller (Jeedom, Domoticz..) see a crypted payload in serial transmission or will it work like before (I understand there are some changes in message structure, but what about crypted payload, does the controller need to decrypt?)


  • Contest Winner

    @scalz We only sign messages. There is no encryption involved. And the signature is stored without affecting the message contents so it is perfectly compatible with all controllers. The only thing that could affect a controller is the new sign bit in the message header but I don't think that will make any difference as it is not relevant to the controller. It is the gateway that manages this for it.


  • Hardware Contributor

    ok, it is new for me, so I am mixing vocabulary, but I understand the concept. Thank you, and now I have my answer. no big changes for controller side, great! It makes sense, but I was not sure.


  • Admin

    Fix pushed to development.


  • Contest Winner

    Thanks for that!



  • I put together a garage door opening using code from korttoma. I used soft signing, and it works great. I was wanting to use a real atsha though.

    I bought some atsha204a chips from amazon, and the chips are marked with only "3eas", and a "Y" in one corners. They are soic-8. Is that how this should be marked? I wired one up according to the data sheet. Gnd to Gnd, VCC to 5V, and SDA to A3. I ran the personalizer to generate a key and it said "Failed to wake device." in the serial console. Am I doing something wrong? or did I just get the wrong chip from the seller?


  • Contest Winner

    @jsondag I don't have a good explanation on the software signing not working. Maybe inadequate decoupling leads to a too noisy power rail?
    About the HW issue, it is important that you use the single wire version of atsha204. NOT the i2c version. The i2c version also has an scl line while the single wire only has sda (and power and ground). That means your soic8 should have 5 unused pads. Atmel ordering code for that variant is ATSHA204A-SSHCZ-T but unfortunately it is not printed on the case. So unless you find that information from Amazon, I am afraid it is very difficult to determine the type of the chips you've got.



  • @Anticimex. Software signing is working fine.

    Thanks for the information though. I didn't realize the soic 8 couldn't do one wire. It's a ATSHA204-SH-DA-B according to the listing.

    EDIT:
    Looking at the datasheet, it says that the SCL pin can be ignored for single wire interface. perhaps I'll wire another one up and give it a go.

    Just connect, SDA to A3, correct?


  • Contest Winner

    @jsondag ok. From what I could read there are two different order codes for i2c and one-wire so I don't think you can take an i2c variant board and treat it as a one-wire board by just ignoring the scl pin. But if the board really is single-wire, the pinout will be the same as the i2c version, you can just ignore the scl pin as it is NC for the one-wire variant. And from the data sheet, SHDAB is i2c not "single-wire" so I am afraid you cannot use my libs for those. I only have drivers for single-wire chips i am afraid.


  • Hardware Contributor

    I just received my chips today from digikey (part num ATSHA204A-STUCZ-TCT-ND) which are the small 3 pin versions. Holy cow these are things are tiny. These are going to be a lot more difficult than I expected to hand solder.


  • Contest Winner

    @TD22057 If you don't have a "inverse" tweezer to fixate the chip to the board, just glue it in place. With proper iron temp (at least 300 deg C, I use 330) it's very doable. Much easier than smd resistors/caps if you ask me 🙂 (just don't forget to solder after you glue if you do that)

    Thanks - I'll try that as soon as everything arrives. Watching parts trickle in from aliexpress shippers is killing me (I think I've become spoiled on Amazon prime shipping).



  • First of all I would like to thank Anticimex for this great piece of work!

    I am playing around with signing right now. I set up a temp & humid sensor with soft signing support as well as a MQTT gateway with soft signing.

    In principle it seems to work. At least sensor values are published to the MQTT broker. However, in the gateway output I see nonce tr errors and sign failures.

    I am somehow irritated concerning those failures logged after the publish logs. They seem not to be related to receiving and publishing the sensor data. What can be source of that? Why might the gateway trying to transmit?

    A second question is related to personalization of the ATSHA204. Am I right that the key is displayed in the SlotConfig00 - SlotConfig0F?

    The second personalization step fails with the message "Data lock failed". What could be the reason for that?


  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy Thanks.
    "nonce tr err" is sent if sendRoute() fails to send a nonce request. So it suggests the radio link is somewhat unreliable and that in turn causes signing to fail. From what I can see you want to sign messages in both directions, so maybe traimsission from the MQTT gateway is not as reliable as reception? message type 16 (command 3) is a nonce request and sometimes it succeeds

    0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-21-21 s=1,c=3,t=16,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=ok:
    

    and sometimes it fail (with that message as consequence):

    0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-21-21 s=2,c=3,t=16,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,st=fail:
    0;0;3;0;9;nonce tr err
    

    But the failing one is to a different sensor (2) than the first one (1), so perhaps that node is down or at a long range? But last in your log you also fail a transmission to sensor 1. In any case, the nonce tr err is because of failing radio transmissions and as such not a signing issue as such. Sometimes it works (when there are no radio issues:

    0;0;3;0;9;read: 21-21-0 s=1,c=3,t=16,pt=0,l=0,sg=0: (request for nonce to GW)
    0;0;3;0;9;send: 0-0-21-21 s=255,c=3,t=17,pt=6,l=25,sg=0,st=ok:01AB761 (GW sends nonce back)
    0;0;3;0;9;read: 21-21-0 s=1,c=1,t=0,pt=7,l=5,sg=1:25.1 (signed message with that nonce is received)
    publish: MyMQTT/21/1/V_TEMP 25.1 (message/signature is accepted and forwarded)
    

    "sign fail" is typically reported if nonce exchange times out. You can adjust the timeout using MY_VERIFICATION_TIMEOUT_MS if you have many hops or for other reasons cannot process messages fast enough.
    I have not tested MQTT gateway myself, and perhaps it uses the MySensors library differently but I have tested both serial and ethernet gateway. But in this case, it probably fails because you never got the request for the nonce out so your sender never got a chance to send a nonce back, and therefore signing cannot succeed.
    So the key is to determine why the transmission of the nonce request fail (a radio problem since you get st=fail). Or implement a retransmission at a higher level in your sketch if the radio link is "lossy". The signing backend assumes a working channel and do not handle retransmission for you on failures.

    Regarding personalization, key is never displayed. It is stored in slot 0. Slotconfigs are used to set the permissions of the slots. They don't store keys themselves.
    You should get the reason for the data lock failure in the code that is sent together with the message. It is the ATSHA circuit itself that provide this value (or the library communicating with it in case of communication problem).



  • Thanks for your fast reply. Regarding the communication failures: I was testing this with both transmitters lying side by side. Do you have any idea why the gateway might want to have a nonce. Is it part of the sensor protocol?
    The two sensors displayed in the log are basically the same sensor (DHT22 providing temp and humidity).

    Can I provide any key in the second personalization step or does it have to be same than in the first step being generated?


  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy The protocol is described in the first post. Any node that is sending a signed message to another node (that has requested to get signed messages) will ask for a nonce. So you have configured your gateway to require signed messages as well as your node.
    Regarding the personalization, I do t understand your question. The output is the chip configuration. It does not list any keys. I am not sure I understand what you mean by second step. You can generate a random key and that key you store and after you store it you have an option to also lock it, but then you have no way of ever changing it. I have documented the personalization flow also in the sketch itself.


  • Contest Winner

    I should emphasise that if you personalize multiple atsha:s you have to have the same key stored in all of them. But the sketch offer to generate a random key (but you can skip that and use any key or password you like). But the key must be the same for all members of a secure network that want to talk to each other.



  • @Anticimex: The output shown is related to the sketch configuration you described in your description:

    Set the following sketch configuration of the personalizer:
    Enable LOCK_CONFIGURATION
    Disable LOCK_DATA
    Enable SKIP_KEY_STORAGE
    Disable SKIP_UART_CONFIGURATION
    Disable USER_KEY_DATA

    Execute the sketch on the “master” device to obtain a randomized key. Save this key to >a secure location and keep it confidential so that you can retrieve it if you need to
    personalize more devices later on.

    I was wondering that I did not see any explicit reference to a key. So may be I just have to retry.

    Thanks for that clarification. I was aware of that.


  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy are you sure you have enabled all those options? According to the dump, your configuration is still not locked and therefore no randomized key can be generated. Are there no more output from the sketch than that? You mentioned failure to lock data zone but I cannot see that message. And you cannot lock datazone without locking configuration.
    After the sketch locks configuration it will print a randomized key in the log.



  • @Anticimex: Thanks for your patience and your support.
    I rerun it with the output and sketch configuration listed below. May be the reason that it is not working that my poor soldering skills bricked the device.

  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy I'm on phone so I cannot check the response code right now but you could look it up in the atsha datasheet or in the software. I have not tried to lock data myself and I do not recommend it because it makes it impossible to change the key later on if it is comprised. From what I can see, everything looks good except the locking of the datazone (your key)


  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy I should add that from the logs I see that you do have successfully stored your key, so unless you really want to lock down the key, personalization is done and successful.



  • @Anticimex: Thanks a lot. I didn't intend to lock the data zone.

    Btw, I did some tests regarding the nonce failure the gateway showed. I think the reason is rather simple. The gateway tried - for reasons I still don't understand - send data to the sensor for which it tried to get a nonce. The sensor however was powered down which is probably the reason why no nonce was sent. At least this error didn't show up when I removed the power down and replaced it by a simple call to delay.


  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy Ah, I see. Well then that matter should be sorted.
    Regarding your radio issue, yes, if the GW wants to send data to your node, it needs to be up&running. From the log you sent, I cannot determine what data the GW tried to send though, since it (because your node has told the GW it require it) wants to sign the message to send, and fails, the actual message is never showed in the log.
    Perhaps you could send a log with your node continuously powered and we could see at least the type of message your GW tries to send. That could help to identify why it tries to send the message in the first place.



  • @Anticimex: I started a new thread http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1782/gateway-is-sending-command-1-type-1-c-1-t-1-message-to-sensor
    because it looks like it is not really related to signing.
    In the post I included the log output of the message for which the nonce is being requested. It looks like the gateway node is sending back the humidity with a c=1 command. Somehow this does not make sense to me.


  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy I see. Perhaps you request ACK or something like that. But ACKs are not signed. I have seen to that, so probably not. I am not too well into the non-signing aspects of the network though, so hopefully someone else perhaps can give a hint on what's wrong. Could be the sketch itself. I am glad we sorted the signing issues anyway 🙂



  • @Anticimex: I found the issue with respect to the gateway sending a message back to the sensor. This is due to the gateway subscribing to all topics on the MQTT broker. Once it receives a message it sends it to the sensor as SET message. I have to resolve that one.

    I think, I still have an issue with signing which I need to get sorted myself first. I will let you know.


  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy Alright. Good to know that you found the root cause for the message issue.
    Regarding signing, from what I could see at least some signed messages did come through, so you should at least have the proper shared states (keys) and configs.



  • I did a few test with my ATSHA204. I could get it working on an Uno. The I took the chip and placed it on my breadboard with my ProMini. I tried to run the SHA Personaliser Sketch again just to make sure that the chip is somehow working and I received an error message that the device cannot be woken up.

    Since it worked on the Uno (including running the SHA Personalizer) it must be related to the ProMini (3.3V / 8 MHz).

    To what pin do I have to connect the data line?


  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy That sounds strange. I have run on ProMini 3.3V/8MHz without issues.
    Default is to use A3 for the ATSHA204A. It does not really matter which pin you connect it as long as it is usable for digital I/O (and update MY_ATSHA204_PIN accordingly or provide your pin to the MySigningAtsha204 constructor).



  • How do I change the pin definition if I use A3 on the ProMini?


  • Contest Winner

    A3 is default setting. You can find the definition of MY_ATSHA204_PIN in MyConfig.h.



  • Yep, it is

    `#define MY_ATSHA204_PIN 17 // A3 - pin where ATSHA204 is attached
    ``
    I am just irritate by the 17. So this does map to A3 even on ProMini?

  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy yes it does.



  • @Anticimex Unfortunately, I am now in a total state of mess. It seems that nothing works anymore the moment I turn on any signing. For sure, I have a problem with ATSHA204 and the ProMini which I need to sort out separately. I tried them all with my Uno (reading out the config) which worked. When I try to just read the config with my ProMini I get the error cannot wake up device.

    But now, even soft signing did not work any longer (it worked first, than I made changes and afte. I just receive nonce transmission errors from the sensor to the gateway although both radios are side by side and transmission without signing works perfectly.

    Btw, what is stored in the EPROM and under what circumstances do I have to clear EPROM first. I changed between the various signing feature (soft signing, HW signing, signing required etc.) back and forth and it seems that this info is stored in EPROM and somehow not cleared?? How does the sensor know that the gateway requires signing? Will it get the info out of EPROM? Will this information be updated during presentation?

    I think you did a great job on that implementation, the more frustrating it is that I cannot get it to work reliably. I am out for today. May be I find some time tomorrow getting anot ProMini prepared to checkout the issue with the chips.


  • Contest Winner

    @tomkxy The information stored in EEPROM is not specific to any backend. It just informs the node what other nodes require signed messages. At startup, a node broadcasts it's preference to the gateway which then updates it's EEPROM table and replies with its own preference back so the node knows if the gateway wants signed messages as well. If the preferences differ from what is stored in EEPROM already, it is the updated preferences that will replace the stored preferences.
    The usecases for this is if you were to deploy a new sensor which require signing, it would inform gateway of this at startup. But if you restart your gateway it would loose this unless it was stored in EEPROM (the same goes the other way around) so the EEPROM is used so that the signing rules in the network gets preserved even if nodes dissappear or restart.
    If you suspect the EEPROM to contain corrupt data, you can clear it with the cleareeorom sketch/example.
    The typical circumstance you need to clear EEPROM under is when you switch library version, and the reserved region of EEPROM in the library change (and you also use EEPROM in your sketch). Then the library might take some of your sketch data for "it's own" and that can/will lead to unpredictable results.

    Just to say, that I tried some weeks ago ATSHA204A with pro mini and had no problem too. Maybe you should try clear eeprom and retry. Or try with another pro mini. But it should work I think.
    And for those who want to test excellent work of @Anticimex and @Tekka, I have posted a simple/basic not expensive, 1.8$ for 3 breakouts here : https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/lvvxsHSW . It can be useful for existing nodes too.

    See you soon

    Good idea - I'm finding soldering the ATSHA chips to be a real pain and a small breakout board would help with that. Is the eeprom pads on your board for people who are just using a mega328 chip? Doesn't a pro-mini already have enough eeprom on board?


  • Hardware Contributor

    @TDD22057: eeprom on the breakout is for the new ota in Mysensors (over the air upload sketch) . It is not related to authentication.
    I made this cheap breakout firstly because I wanted to test the new Mysensors features easily. and I thought it could be useful in some specific case where you don't need to make a pcb for one specific usercase so you use a veroboard and so you can easily add these new features with less pain...
    Happy it can help some people 😄



  • Regarding my issue with the ATSHA204A, I did some testing with the following results. I soldered the ATSHA204A on a small breakout board and loaded the SHAPersonalizer sketch.

    I tested three configurations:

    1. Breakout wired to the ProMini without breadboard use
    2. Breakout wired to a breadboard where the ProMini was plugged
    3. Breakout and ProMini both plugged to breadboard and connected by wires.

    Config 3 does not work!!!
    That means the breadboard significantly changes the electrical characteristics. Is anybody on the forum who is able to explain that?


  • Hardware Contributor

    @tomkxy: it is strange. My first tests have been done in you config 3 (atsha breakout and promini both plugged to breadboard). And it worked well for me. Could it be your wire quality??? I had problems with some Dupont wire once...



  • Well , could be... I had to use different wires female - female, male - female, male - male (for config 3). For the male-male wire I have no other option at the moment.

    However, I am glad it works now.

    Good news! Regarding breadboard issues, it could be that you need an additional decoupling on the VCC line to the atsha204a. And also perhaps a pullup on the SDA signal. Breadboards usually put some more requirements on noise suppression.



  • Hi,

    I seem to be too stupid (or drunk 😉 ) to get this working with MySigningAtsha204Soft 😞
    Is anyone willing to provide a working MyConfig.h and EthernetGateway.ino for this?
    There seemed to be some changes and I am sure, I am just too dumb... 😞



  • Here you go....However, I do not have EthernetGateway but a MQTTClientGateway. May be it is of help.
    What is your specific problem?

    myconfig.h (key changed)

    /* 				MyMQTT Client Gateway 0.1b
     Created by Norbert Truchsess <norbert.truchsess@t-online.de>
     Based on MyMQTT-broker gateway created by Daniel Wiegert <daniel.wiegert@gmail.com>
     Based on MySensors Ethernet Gateway by Henrik Ekblad <henrik.ekblad@gmail.com>
     http://www.mysensors.org
     Requires MySensors lib 1.4b
     * Change below; TCP_IP, TCP_PORT, TCP_MAC
     This will listen on your selected TCP_IP:TCP_PORT below, Please change TCP_MAC your liking also.
     *1 -> NOTE: Keep first byte at x2, x6, xA or xE (replace x with any hex value) for using Local Ranges.
     *2 You can use standard pin set-up as MySensors recommends or if you own a IBOARD you may change
     the radio-pins below if you hardware mod your iBoard. see [URL BELOW] for more details.
     http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/224/iboard-cheap-single-board-ethernet-arduino-with-radio/5
     * Don't forget to look at the definitions in libraries\MySensors\MyMQTT.h!
     define TCPDUMP and connect serial interface if you have problems, please write on
     http://forum.mysensors.org/ and explain your problem, include serial output. Don't forget to
     turn on DEBUG in libraries\MySensors\MyConfig.h also.
     MQTT_FIRST_SENSORID is for 'DHCP' server in MyMQTT. You may limit the ID's with FIRST and LAST definition.
     If you want your manually configured below 20 set MQTT_FIRST_SENSORID to 20.
     To disable: set MQTT_FIRST_SENSORID to 255.
     MQTT_BROKER_PREFIX is the leading prefix for your nodes. This can be only one char if like.
     MQTT_SEND_SUBSCRIPTION is if you want the MyMQTT to send a empty payload message to your nodes.
     This can be useful if you want to send latest state back to the MQTT client. Just check if incoming
     message has any length or not.
     Example: if (msg.type==V_LIGHT && strlen(msg.getString())>0) otherwise the code might do strange things.
     * Address-layout is : [MQTT_BROKER_PREFIX]/[NodeID]/[SensorID]/V_[SensorType]
     NodeID and SensorID is uint8 (0-255) number.
     Last segment is translation of the sensor type, look inside MyMQTT.cpp for the definitions.
     User can change this to their needs. We have also left some space for custom types.
     Special: (sensor 255 reserved for special commands)
     You can receive a node sketch name with MyMQTT/20/255/V_Sketch_name (or version with _version)
     To-do:
     Special commands : clear or set EEPROM Values, Send REBOOT and Receive reboot for MyMQTT itself.
     Be able to send ACK so client returns the data being sent.
     ... Please come with ideas!
     What to do with publish messages.
     Test in more MQTT clients, So far tested in openhab and MyMQTT for Android (Not my creation)
     - http://www.openhab.org/
     - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.tripwire.mqtt.client&hl=en

  • @tomkxy Thanks, that helped! I seemed to have two problems:

    1. I did not know where to place the necessary includes! Thanks for the examples! Helped me a lot

    2)Regarding my problems from above (error: 'DEFAULT_CE_PIN' was not declared in this scope): I removed the whole libraries/MySensors dir and copied it again from the recent devel branch - this helped, error is gone and everything is compiling fine now 🙂

    Thanks again and cheers,

    @otto001 Great! And thanks @tomkxy for helping out. MySensors teamwork at it's best. This is what it's all about 😄



  • Hi again,

    and thanks again. signing seems to work now, unfortunately the sketch is too big for an UNO and I am right now struggling with the pinout and code adaptions to get it working with my W5100 shield and a mega...
    /edit: got it working.

    MyConfig.h:
    
    #ifdef SOFTSPI
        // Define the soft SPI pins used for NRF radio
        //MEGA
        const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MISO_PIN = 15;
        const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_MOSI_PIN = 14;
        const uint8_t SOFT_SPI_SCK_PIN = 16;
    #endif
    
    EthernetGateway.ino:
    
    #define RADIO_CE_PIN        35 // 5  // radio chip enable
    #define RADIO_SPI_SS_PIN    34 // 6  // radio SPI serial select
    

    And exactly those pins I connected from radio to the mega... (just in case that anyone else is in need of this)

    Might be a little OT, but maybe someone here knows a solution for a strange problem:
    Whenever I am using an UNO or MEGA with my W5100 shield, I have to reset after every power-on to make the sketch run. Does anyone know this? Is there a solution? I am trying to adapt optiboot to wait additional 500ms when powering on, but no luck so far...

    Cheers,

    Otto

    Check here: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11166 Their "version 2" shield has some notes about fixing the power up reset problem with regular internet shields. Not sure what it is but maybe their notes and schematic can clue you in to a help you implement a fix on your current board.

    http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=215798.msg1607035#msg1607035

    FYI I just ordered a Mega myself for a gateway since I figured the $7 to get one is a better expenditure of my time/money than me trying to get the MqttClientGateway + signing + RF69 radio + debug print to all fit on an Uno so I'll be doing this mod as well.



  • @Anticimex
    I think I may have found a bug in the code:
    I wanted to build a gateway that accepts both signed and unsigned messages. For this I used MySigningAtsha204Soft signer(false);.
    Now the gateway did accept unsigned messages, but also all messages sent to the gateway by another node with signing where unsigned.
    After changing this line in MySensor.cpp:

    if (signer.requestSignatures() && DO_SIGN(msg.sender))
    

    to

    if (signer.requestSignatures() || DO_SIGN(msg.sender))
    

    it worked as I wanted it. The gateway accepts unsigned messages from nodes but if a node expects signed messages, the messages to the gateway are also signed.
    This line means that the gateway requests signing from the node if he always requests signing or if the node requests signing.
    What do you think?


  • Contest Winner

    @fleinze I am not sure I understand the basic problem. What do you mean by " but also all messages sent to the gateway by another node with signing where unsigned.". The signing is based on requirement. A node (or gateway) either require messages sent to it to be signed or not. You have told your gateway that it is not supposed to require signed messages so it will accept unsigned messages sent to it. It is up to the node to configure if the node require signed messages in return. The gateway configuration has nothing to do with the preferences of a node. If you tell your gateway that it does not require signing, no messages to it will be signed. The opposite also holds true. If you configure it to require signed messages, all messages have to be signed. That is "working as designed".


  • Contest Winner

    @fleinze after reading the post a few times I think I understand better 🙂 you want nodes who require signed messages from the gateway to send signed messages to the gateway as well even though the gateway is configured to not require it. I don't have a problem with that change as long as it is also portable to the nodes (the same code works equally well for both gateways and nodes usecases). You are welcome to put a pull request on the code so I can have a closer look. If approved I will update the head post to reflect this changed behaviour.



  • 👍 The change only effects gateways. I will put a pull request, thx.


  • Contest Winner

    @fleinze do you have some special reason for why you want this? I don't see a real benefit and it would slightly increase the traffic. I suppose it would add some symmetry to node-gw communication.


  • Contest Winner

    @fleinze I am quite stressed out for the moment so I forget my own design 🙂
    What you actually should do is to configure the gateway to require signed messages. It will then do so, but only from nodes that in turn require signed messages. So you should not need to change anything, just set the GW to require signatures.



  • @Anticimex If I do so, this is the output of the Gateway:

    0;0;3;0;9;gateway started, id=0, parent=0, distance=0
    0;0;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.
    0;0;3;0;9;no sign
    0;0;3;0;9;no sign
    0;0;3;0;9;no sign
    0;0;3;0;9;no sign
    0;0;3;0;9;read: 2-2-0 s=0,c=0,t=6,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
    2;0;0;0;6;
    0;0;3;0;9;read: 2-2-0 s=1,c=0,t=30,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:
    2;1;0;0;30;
    0;0;3;0;9;no sign
    0;0;3;0;9;no sign
    0;0;3;0;9;no sign
    

    I tried to compile the node with deactivated signing feature and also with MySigningNone.
    The messages get rejected because in MySensor.cpp line 570 (developement branch) it is not checked if the sender requires signing:

    	if (signer.requestSignatures() && msg.destination == nc.nodeId && mGetLength(msg) && !mGetAck(msg) &&
    		(mGetCommand(msg) != C_INTERNAL ||
    		 (msg.type != I_GET_NONCE_RESPONSE && msg.type != I_GET_NONCE && msg.type != I_REQUEST_SIGNING &&
    		  msg.type != I_ID_REQUEST && msg.type != I_ID_RESPONSE &&
    		  msg.type != I_FIND_PARENT && msg.type != I_FIND_PARENT_RESPONSE)))
    

    My thought is that if I have a mixed network (signing and non-signing nodes) for some sensors I do not need signing (i.e. temperature-sensors). But if I have a button sensor that can actually switch something on or off (via the controller), it would be a security benefit if the messages from the sensor to the gateway are signed.


  • Contest Winner

    @fleinze If you have upgraded the library version, the signing table might have shifted in EEPROM. You then need to run the clear EEPROM sketch to reset the stored state in order for the gw/nodes to re-learn the existing signing preferences of the network.

    This is the exact usecase for the gw default behavior to only require signing from nodes that require signing in return. But I also got "no sign" errors after I flashed development branch yesterday on node/gw and only after I wiped the GW EEPROM I got it back online. So please try that. If it still does not work, I have to look closer, and see why this has broken because it has been working like that when I submitted the signing behavior.



  • @Anticimex I tried to make it work:

    • took a fresh copy of the development branch
    • activated signing in MyConfig.h
    • flashed the ClearEepromConfig sketch to both the test-gateway and the test-node.
    • built the gateway with MySigningAtsha204Soft signer; (requires signing by default)
    • built the node with MySigningNone signer;

    Still got the no sign message from the gateway...
    Please have a look at this.


  • Contest Winner

    @fleinze mysigningnone is a special case. It won't make signatures, so could you instead try with either hard or soft atsha?


  • Contest Winner

    @fleinze also, you can mix hard and soft atsha signing in a network, but you can't mix with "none". If you mark a node that it can do signing or require signing and use the "none" backend, nodes that use atsha (hard or soft) will not accept the signatures.



  • @Anticimex
    Ok, I built the node with MySigningAtsha204Soft signer(false); so it does not require signing and the gateway with MySigningAtsha204Soft signer;
    -> no sign error.
    How do I correctly build a node that does not sign in a mixed network (signing and non-signing nodes mixed)?


  • Contest Winner

    @fleinze
    In a network where you have "mixed" nodes, I would suggest something like this:
    The gateway has signing enabled and is set to require signatures and uses either hard or soft ATSHA (since you earlier wrote that you wanted the GW to sign messages to nodes that signed messages in return).
    For all nodes that need to be secure, enable signing and pick either hard or soft ATSHA (depending on the node hardware) and set them to require signatures.
    For all nodes that do not need to be secure, just disable signing alltogether, or pick any signing backend and set it to NOT require signatures.
    The result should be like this:
    A "insecure" node sends and receives unsigned messages to/from GW.
    A "secure" node sends and receives signed messages to/from GW.
    The GW will send signed messages to all nodes that has reported to the GW that they require signatures.
    The GW will send unsigned messages to all nodes that has reported to the GW that they do NOT require signatures.



  • @Anticimex In your original post you said:

    However, the difference is that the gateway will only require signed messages from nodes it knows in turn require signed messages.

    I made pull request 208 to match this behavior in the code:
    https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino/pull/208

    • If node is not a gateway, everything is as always. (1 || x)
    • if node is gateway and the sender requires signed messages, check signature (0 || 1)
    • if node is gateway and the sender does not requires signed messages, do not check signature (0 || 0)
      please consider adding this.

    @fleinze Ok, lets discuss this in the PR and conclude it in this thread later.


  • Contest Winner

    Ok, the problem is identified and @fleinze has provided a fix that resolves the issue which is now merged to the development branch.
    Thanks for finding the issue and fixing it!
    There is no change in the signing behavior as it is documented. Now gateway does as it is supposed to.


  • Mod

    Great work @fleinze and @Anticimex !
    Reading this thread (yes, all of it) has made me ready to start configuring my nodes to use signing. Better start now, while my sensor network is still small 🙂

    Compiling with the latest dev branch SecureActuator example

    #define MY_SIGNING_REQUEST_SIGNATURES

    I get following error:

    Is this a problem of the code or of my setup?

    @FotoFieber @hek something related to the recent refactoring? I have not had the opportunity to evaluate the effects on signing myself.

    Let's see how Jenkins feels about this

  • @Anticimex Hello, I found this thread now. I'll ask a few more questions, sorry. This all seems really-really great.

    1. If someone wishes to use TMRh20's RF24Mesh instead of MySensors how would one sign the messages sent with that library? Is is even possible? What should be done to use that functionality?

    2. Also, as I understand it is possible to emulate the ATSHA204A, on what hardware is is possible (on Uno's ATMega too?)?

    3. Is it also possible to use whitelisting with RF24Mesh somehow?

    Again, sorry for any dumb questions and my poor English.

    @Avamander

    1. Signing as described in this post is specific to users of the MySensors library. I suppose you could use any rf backend you like but you will need to use the MySensors library to get the nonce exchange and such. Or manually port the signing specifics out from the MySensors library and integrate them into another library. It's all open source.
    2. The software emulated atsha signing backend (for MySensors) is compatible with any Arduino product.
    3. See 1.

    Lastly, there are no dumb questions, only dumb answers 🙂



  • Hello,

    firstly, I must say that you're doing a great job and this section about security is very interesting.
    Sorry, but I want to ask a question: as regards the whitelisting system, how can I add more nodes to the list of the trusted nodes of the gateway?
    The part of code is this:

    [...]
    #ifdef MY_SECURE_NODE_WHITELISTING
    whitelist_entry_t node_whitelist[] = {
      { //I want to add nodes HERE:
        .nodeId = 55, // Just some value, this need to be changed  to the NodeId of the trusted node
        .serial = {0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09} } // This need to change to the serial of the trusted node
    };
    MySigningAtsha204 signer(true, 1, node_whitelist);  // Select ATSHA204A software signing backend with one entry in the whitelist
    [...]
    

    but the gateway continue to fail the verification of the trusted nodes that I inserted.

    To sum up, how can I add more nodeIDs and serials in addition to the number "55" presented in the example of the code?

    Thank you very much in advance,
    Silver978

    @Silver978 Thanks!
    Try something like this:

    whitelist_entry_t node_whitelist[] = {
      {
        .nodeId = 55, // Just some value, this need to be changed  to the NodeId of the trusted node
        .serial = {0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09} // This need to change to the serial of the trusted node
      },
      {
        .nodeId = 56, // Just some value, this need to be changed  to the NodeId of the trusted node
        .serial = {0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09} // This need to change to the serial of the trusted node
      },
      {
        .nodeId = 57, // Just some value, this need to be changed  to the NodeId of the trusted node
        .serial = {0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09} // This need to change to the serial of the trusted node
      }
    };
    MySigningAtsha204 signer(true, 3, node_whitelist);  // Select ATSHA204A software signing backend with three entries in the whitelist
    
    

    Note the changed argument in the constructor (3 and not 1)



  • @Anticimex I tried also this syntax but I haven't changed the argument of the signer, so that number indicates how many nodes the gateway must trust?
    Thank you!


  • Contest Winner

    @Silver978 The number gives the number of entries in the whitelist the backend is expected to iterate over. Having a number for this allows the use of a potenitally very large whitelist but where "uninteresting" entries to this particular node can be ignored by having them last in the list and make sure the number does not cover those entries when searching the list.
