# Secure Boot V2

重要

This document is about Secure Boot V2, supported on ESP32-H2

Secure Boot V2 uses RSA-PSS or ECDSA based app and bootloader (二级引导程序) verification. This document can also be used as a reference for signing apps using the RSA-PSS or ECDSA scheme without signing the bootloader.

## Background

Secure Boot protects a device from running any unauthorized (i.e., unsigned) code by checking that each piece of software that is being booted is signed. On an ESP32-H2, these pieces of software include the second stage bootloader and each application binary. Note that the first stage bootloader does not require signing as it is ROM code thus cannot be changed.

ESP32-H2 has provision to choose between a RSA-PSS or ECDSA based secure boot verification scheme.

The Secure Boot process on the ESP32-H2 involves the following steps:

1. When the first stage bootloader loads the second stage bootloader, the second stage bootloader's RSA-PSS or ECDSA signature is verified. If the verification is successful, the second stage bootloader is executed.

2. When the second stage bootloader loads a particular application image, the application's RSA-PSS or ECDSA signature is verified. If the verification is successful, the application image is executed.

## Advantages

- The RSA-PSS or ECDSA public key is stored on the device. The corresponding RSA-PSS or ECDSA private key is kept at a secret place and is never accessed by the device.

- Up to three public keys can be generated and stored in the chip during manufacturing.

- ESP32-H2 provides the facility to permanently revoke individual public keys. This can be configured conservatively or aggressively.

- Conservatively - The old key is revoked after the bootloader and application have successfully migrated to a new key. Aggressively - The key is revoked as soon as verification with this key fails.

- Same image format and signature verification method is applied for applications and software bootloader.

- No secrets are stored on the device. Therefore, it is immune to passive side-channel attacks (timing or power analysis, etc.)

## Secure Boot V2 Process

This is an overview of the Secure Boot V2 Process. Instructions how to enable Secure Boot are supplied in section How To Enable Secure Boot V2.

Secure Boot V2 verifies the bootloader image and application binary images using a dedicated signature block. Each image has a separately generated signature block which is appended to the end of the image.

Up to 3 signature blocks can be appended to the bootloader or application image in ESP32-H2.

Each signature block contains a signature of the preceding image as well as the corresponding RSA-3072, ECDSA-256, or ECDSA-192 public key. For more details about the format, refer to Signature Block Format. A digest of the RSA-3072, ECDSA-256, or ECDSA-192 public key is stored in the eFuse.

The application image is not only verified on every boot but also on each over the air (OTA) update. If the currently selected OTA app image cannot be verified, the bootloader will fall back and look for another correctly signed application image.

The Secure Boot V2 process follows these steps:

1. On startup, the ROM code checks the Secure Boot V2 bit in the eFuse. If Secure Boot is disabled, a normal boot will be executed. If Secure Boot is enabled, the boot will proceed according to the following steps.

2. The ROM code verifies the bootloader's signature block (Verifying a Signature Block). If this fails, the boot process will be aborted.

3. The ROM code verifies the bootloader image using the raw image data, its corresponding signature block(s), and the eFuse (Verifying an Image). If this fails, the boot process will be aborted.

4. The ROM code executes the bootloader.

5. The bootloader verifies the application image's signature block (Verifying a Signature Block). If this fails, the boot process will be aborted.

6. The bootloader verifies the application image using the raw image data, its corresponding signature blocks and the eFuse (Verifying an Image). If this fails, the boot process will be aborted. If the verification fails but another application image is found, the bootloader will then try to verify that other image using steps 5 to 7. This repeats until a valid image is found or no other images are found.

7. The bootloader executes the verified application image.

## Signature Block Format

The signature block starts on a 4 KB aligned boundary and has a flash sector of its own. The signature is calculated over all bytes in the image including the padding bytes (Secure Padding).

备注

ESP32-H2 has a provision to choose between RSA scheme and ECDSA scheme. Only one scheme can be used per device.

ECDSA provides similar security strength, compared to RSA, with shorter key lengths. Current estimates are that ECDSA with curve P-256 has an approximate equivalent strength to RSA with 3072-bit keys. However, ECDSA signature verification takes considerably more amount of time as compared to RSA signature verification.

RSA is recommended for use cases where fast bootup time is required whereas ECDSA is recommended for use cases where shorter key length is required.

> Comparison between signature verification time
> Verification scheme | Time | CPU Frequency
> --- | --- | ---
> RSA-3072 | ~4.5 ms | 96 MHz
> ECDSA-P256 | ~36 ms | 96 MHz

The above table compares the time taken to verify a signature in a particular scheme. It does not indicate the bootup time.

The content of each signature block is shown in the following table:

Content of a RSA Signature Block
Offset | Size (bytes) | Description
--- | --- | ---
0 | 1 | Magic byte
1 | 1 | Version number byte (currently 0x02), 0x01 is for Secure Boot V1.
2 | 2 | Padding bytes, Reserved. Should be zero.
4 | 32 | SHA-256 hash of only the image content, not including the signature block.
36 | 384 | RSA Public Modulus used for signature verification. (value ‘n’ in RFC8017).
420 | 4 | RSA Public Exponent used for signature verification (value ‘e’ in RFC8017).
424 | 384 | Pre-calculated R, derived from ‘n’.
808 | 4 | Pre-calculated M’, derived from ‘n’
812 | 384 | RSA-PSS Signature result (section 8.1.1 of RFC8017) of image content, computed using following PSS parameters: SHA256 hash, MGF1 function, salt length 32 bytes, default trailer field (0xBC).
1196 | 4 | CRC32 of the preceding 1196 bytes.
1200 | 16 | Zero padding to length 1216 bytes.

备注

R and M' are used for hardware-assisted Montgomery Multiplication.

Content of a ECDSA Signature Block
Offset | Size (bytes) | Description
--- | --- | ---
0 | 1 | Magic byte.
1 | 1 | Version number byte (currently 0x03).
2 | 2 | Padding bytes, Reserved. Should be zero.
4 | 32 | SHA-256 hash of only the image content, not including the signature block.
36 | 1 | Curve ID (1 for NIST192p curve. 2 for NIST256p curve).
37 | 64 | ECDSA Public key: 32 byte X coordinate followed by 32 byte Y coordinate.
101 | 64 | ECDSA Signature result (section 5.3.2 of RFC6090) of the image content: 32 byte R component followed by 32 byte S component.
165 | 1031 | Reserved.
1196 | 4 | CRC32 of the preceding 1196 bytes.
1200 | 16 | Zero padding to length 1216 bytes.

The remainder of the signature sector is erased flash (0xFF) which allows writing other signature blocks after previous signature block.

## Secure Padding

In Secure Boot V2 scheme, the application image is padded to the flash MMU page size boundary to ensure that only verified contents are mapped in the internal address space. This is known as secure padding. Signature of the image is calculated after padding and then signature block (4KB) gets appended to the image.

- Default flash MMU page size is 64KB

- ESP32-H2 supports configurable flash MMU page size, it (`CONFIG_MMU_PAGE_SIZE`) gets set based on the CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE

- Secure padding is applied through the option `--secure-pad-v2` in the `elf2image` conversion using `esptool.py`

Following table explains the Secure Boot V2 signed image with secure padding and signature block appended:

Contents of a signed application
Offset | Size (KB) | Description
--- | --- | ---
0 | 580 | Unsigned application size (as an example)
580 | 60 | Secure padding (aligned to next 64KB boundary)
640 | 4 | Signature block

备注

Please note that the application image always starts on the next flash MMU page size boundary (default 64KB) and hence the space left over after the signature block shown above can be utilized to store any other data partitions (e.g., `nvs`).

## Verifying a Signature Block

A signature block is "valid" if the first byte is 0xe7 and a valid CRC32 is stored at offset 1196. Otherwise it is invalid.

## Verifying an Image

An image is "verified" if the public key stored in any signature block is valid for this device, and if the stored signature is valid for the image data read from flash.

1. Compare the SHA-256 hash digest of the public key embedded in the bootloader's signature block with the digest(s) saved in the eFuses. If public key's hash does not match any of the hashes from the eFuses, the verification fails.

2. Generate the application image digest and match it with the image digest in the signature block. If the digests do not match, the verification fails.

3. Use the public key to verify the signature of the bootloader image, using either RSA-PSS (section 8.1.2 of RFC8017) or ECDSA signature verification (section 5.3.3 of RFC6090) with the image digest calculated in step (2) for comparison.

## Bootloader Size

Enabling Secure boot and/or flash encryption will increase the size of bootloader, which might require updating partition table offset. See 引导加载程序大小.

In the case when CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES is disabled, the bootloader is sector padded (4KB) using the `--pad-to-size` option in `elf2image` command of `esptool`.

## eFuse Usage

- SECURE_BOOT_EN - Enables Secure Boot protection on boot.

- KEY_PURPOSE_X - Set the purpose of the key block on ESP32-H2 by programming SECURE_BOOT_DIGESTX (X = 0, 1, 2) into KEY_PURPOSE_X (X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Example: If KEY_PURPOSE_2 is set to SECURE_BOOT_DIGEST1, then BLOCK_KEY2 will have the Secure Boot V2 public key digest. The write-protection bit must be set (this field does not have a read-protection bit).

- BLOCK_KEYX - The block contains the data corresponding to its purpose programmed in KEY_PURPOSE_X. Stores the SHA-256 digest of the public key. SHA-256 hash of public key modulus, exponent, pre-calculated R & M' values (represented as 776 bytes – offsets 36 to 812 - as per the Signature Block Format) is written to an eFuse key block. The write-protection bit must be set, but the read-protection bit must not.

- KEY_REVOKEX - The revocation bits corresponding to each of the 3 key block. Ex. Setting KEY_REVOKE2 revokes the key block whose key purpose is SECURE_BOOT_DIGEST2.

- SECURE_BOOT_AGGRESSIVE_REVOKE - Enables aggressive revocation of keys. The key is revoked as soon as verification with this key fails.

To ensure no trusted keys can be added later by an attacker, each unused key digest slot should be revoked (KEY_REVOKEX). It will be checked during app startup in `esp_secure_boot_init_checks()` and fixed unless CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_UNUSED_DIGEST_SLOTS is enabled.

The key(s) must be readable in order to give software access to it. If the key(s) is read-protected then the software reads the key(s) as all zeros and the signature verification process will fail, and the boot process will be aborted.

## How To Enable Secure Boot V2

1. Open the 项目配置菜单, in "Security features" set "Enable hardware Secure Boot in bootloader" to enable Secure Boot.

2. The "Secure Boot V2" option will be selected and the "App Signing Scheme" would be set to RSA by default. RSA is recommended because of faster verification time. You can choose between RSA and ECDSA scheme from the menu.

3. Specify the path to Secure Boot signing key, relative to the project directory.

4. Select the desired UART ROM download mode in "UART ROM download mode". By default, it is set to "Permanently switch to Secure mode" which is generally recommended. For production devices, the most secure option is to set it to "Permanently disabled".

5. Set other menuconfig options (as desired). Then exit menuconfig and save your configuration.

6. The first time you run `idf.py build`, if the signing key is not found then an error message will be printed with a command to generate a signing key via `espsecure.py generate_signing_key`.

重要

A signing key generated this way will use the best random number source available to the OS and its Python installation (/dev/urandom on OSX/Linux and CryptGenRandom() on Windows). If this random number source is weak, then the private key will be weak.

重要

For production environments, we recommend generating the key pair using openssl or another industry standard encryption program. See Generating Secure Boot Signing Key for more details.

7. Run `idf.py bootloader` to build a Secure Boot enabled bootloader. The build output will include a prompt for a flashing command, using `esptool.py write_flash`.

8. When you are ready to flash the bootloader, run the specified command (you have to enter it yourself, this step is not performed by the build system) and then wait for flashing to complete.

9. Run `idf.py flash` to build and flash the partition table and the just-built app image. The app image will be signed using the signing key you generated in step 6.

备注

`idf.py flash` does not flash the bootloader if Secure Boot is enabled.

10. Reset the ESP32-H2 and it will boot the software bootloader you flashed. The software bootloader will enable Secure Boot on the chip, and then it verifies the app image signature and boots the app. You should watch the serial console output from the ESP32-H2 to verify that Secure Boot is enabled and no errors have occurred due to the build configuration.

备注

Secure boot will not be enabled until after a valid partition table and app image have been flashed. This is to prevent accidents before the system is fully configured.

备注

If the ESP32-H2 is reset or powered down during the first boot, it will start the process again on the next boot.

11. On subsequent boots, the Secure Boot hardware will verify the software bootloader has not changed and the software bootloader will verify the signed app image (using the validated public key portion of its appended signature block).

## Restrictions After Secure Boot Is Enabled

- Any updated bootloader or app will need to be signed with a key matching the digest already stored in eFuse.

- Please note that enabling Secure Boot or flash encryption disables the USB-OTG USB stack in the ROM, disallowing updates via the serial emulation or Device Firmware Update (DFU) on that port.

### Burning read-protected keys

After Secure Boot is enabled, no further eFuses can be read-protected, because this might allow an attacker to read-protect the efuse block holding the public key digest, causing an immediate denial of service and possibly allowing an additional fault injection attack to bypass the signature protection.

If flash 加密 is enabled by the 2nd stage bootloader, it ensures that the flash encryption key generated on the first boot shall already be read-protected.

In case you need to read-protect a key after Secure Boot has been enabled on the device, for example,

- the flash encryption key

- HMAC keys

- ECDSA keys

you need to enable the config CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_V2_ALLOW_EFUSE_RD_DIS at the same time when you enable Secure Boot to prevent disabling the ability to read-protect further efuses.

It is highly recommended that all such keys must been burned before enabling secure boot.

In case you need to enable CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_V2_ALLOW_EFUSE_RD_DIS, make sure that you burn the efuse ESP_EFUSE_WR_DIS_RD_DIS, using `esp_efuse_write_field_bit()` API from `esp_efuse.h`, once all the read-protected efuse keys have been programmed.

## Generating Secure Boot Signing Key

The build system will prompt you with a command to generate a new signing key via `espsecure.py generate_signing_key`.

The `--version 2` parameter will generate the RSA 3072 private key for Secure Boot V2. Additionally `--scheme rsa3072` can be passed as well to generate RSA 3072 private key

Select the ECDSA scheme by passing `--version 2 --scheme ecdsa256` or `--version 2 --scheme ecdsa192` to generate corresponding ECDSA private key

The strength of the signing key is proportional to (a) the random number source of the system, and (b) the correctness of the algorithm used. For production devices, we recommend generating signing keys from a system with a quality entropy source, and using the best available RSA-PSS or ECDSA key generation utilities.

For example, to generate a signing key using the openssl command line:

For RSA 3072

`` openssl genrsa -out my_secure_boot_signing_key.pem 3072 ``

For ECC NIST192p curve

`` openssl ecparam -name prime192v1 -genkey -noout -out my_secure_boot_signing_key.pem ``

For ECC NIST256p curve

`` openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out my_secure_boot_signing_key.pem ``

Remember that the strength of the Secure Boot system depends on keeping the signing key private.

## Remote Signing of Images

### Signing Using `espsecure.py`

For production builds, it can be good practice to use a remote signing server rather than have the signing key on the build machine (which is the default esp-idf Secure Boot configuration). The espsecure.py command line program can be used to sign app images & partition table data for Secure Boot, on a remote system.

To use remote signing, disable the option CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES and build the firmware. The private signing key does not need to be present on the build system.

After the app image and partition table are built, the build system will print signing steps using espsecure.py:

    espsecure.py sign_data BINARY_FILE --version 2 --keyfile PRIVATE_SIGNING_KEY

The above command appends the image signature to the existing binary. You can use the --output argument to write the signed binary to a separate file:

    espsecure.py sign_data --version 2 --keyfile PRIVATE_SIGNING_KEY --output SIGNED_BINARY_FILE BINARY_FILE

### Signing Using Pre-calculated Signatures

If you have valid pre-calculated signatures generated for an image and their corresponding public keys, you can use these signatures to generate a signature sector and append it to the image. Note that the pre-calculated signature should be calculated over all bytes in the image including the secure-padding bytes.

In such cases, the firmware image should be built by disabling the option CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES. This image will be secure-padded and to generate a signed binary use the following command:

    espsecure.py sign_data --version 2 --pub-key PUBLIC_SIGNING_KEY --signature SIGNATURE_FILE --output SIGNED_BINARY_FILE BINARY_FILE

The above command verifies the signature, generates a signature block (refer to Signature Block Format) and appends it to the binary file.

### Signing Using an External Hardware Security Module (HSM)

For security reasons, you might also use an external Hardware Security Module (HSM) to store your private signing key, which cannot be accessed directly but has an interface to generate the signature of a binary file and its corresponding public key.

In such cases, disable the option CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES and build the firmware. This secure-padded image then can be used to supply the external HSM for generating a signature. Refer to Signing using an External HSM to generate a signed image.

备注

For all the above three remote signing workflows, the signed binary is written to the filename provided to the `--output` argument and the option `--append_signatures` allows us to append multiple signatures (up to 3) the image.

## Secure Boot Best Practices

- Generate the signing key on a system with a quality source of entropy.

- Keep the signing key private at all times. A leak of this key will compromise the Secure Boot system.

- Do not allow any third party to observe any aspects of the key generation or signing process using espsecure.py. Both processes are vulnerable to timing or other side-channel attacks.

- Enable all Secure Boot options in the Secure Boot Configuration. These include flash encryption, disabling of JTAG, disabling BASIC ROM interpreter, and disabling the UART bootloader encrypted flash access.

- Use Secure Boot in combination with flash 加密 to prevent local readout of the flash contents.

## Key Management

- Between 1 and 3 RSA-3072, ECDSA-256, or ECDSA-192 public key pairs (Keys #0, #1, #2) should be computed independently and stored separately.

- The KEY_DIGEST eFuses should be write protected after being programmed.

- The unused KEY_DIGEST slots must have their corresponding KEY_REVOKE eFuse burned to permanently disable them. This must happen before the device leaves the factory.

- The eFuses can either be written by the software bootloader during during first boot after enabling "Secure Boot V2" from menuconfig or can be done using espefuse.py which communicates with the serial bootloader program in ROM.

- The KEY_DIGESTs should be numbered sequentially beginning at key digest #0. (i.e., if key digest #1 is used, key digest #0 should be used. If key digest #2 is used, key digest #0 & #1 must be used.)

- The software bootloader (non OTA upgradeable) is signed using at least one, possibly all three, private keys and flashed in the factory.

- Apps should only be signed with a single private key (the others being stored securely elsewhere), however they may be signed with multiple private keys if some are being revoked (see Key Revocation, below).

## Multiple Keys

- The bootloader should be signed with all the private key(s) that are needed for the life of the device, before it is flashed.

- The build system can sign with at most one private key, user has to run manual commands to append more signatures if necessary.

- You can use the append functionality of `espsecure.py`, this command would also printed at the end of the Secure Boot V2 enabled bootloader compilation.

    espsecure.py sign_data -k secure_boot_signing_key2.pem -v 2 --append_signatures -o signed_bootloader.bin build/bootloader/bootloader.bin

- While signing with multiple private keys, it is recommended that the private keys be signed independently, if possible on different servers and stored separately.

- You can check the signatures attached to a binary using -

    espsecure.py signature_info_v2 datafile.bin

## Key Revocation

- Keys are processed in a linear order. (key #0, key #1, key #2).

- Applications should be signed with only one key at a time, to minimize the exposure of unused private keys.

- The bootloader can be signed with multiple keys from the factory.

备注

Note that enabling the config CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_UNUSED_DIGEST_SLOTS only makes sure that the app does not revoke the unused digest slots. But if you plan to enable secure boot during the fist boot up, the bootloader will intentionally revoke the unused digest slots while enabling secure boot, even if the above config is enabled because keeping the unused key slots un-revoked would a security hazard. In case for any development workflow if you need to avoid this revocation, you should enable secure boot externally (Enable Secure Boot V2 Externally) rather than enabling it during the boot up, so that the bootloader would not need to enable secure boot and thus you could avoid its revocation strategy.

### Conservative Approach:

Assuming a trusted private key (N-1) has been compromised, to update to new key pair (N).

1. Server sends an OTA update with an application signed with the new private key (#N).

2. The new OTA update is written to an unused OTA app partition.

3. The new application's signature block is validated. The public keys are checked against the digests programmed in the eFuse & the application is verified using the verified public key.

4. The active partition is set to the new OTA application's partition.

5. Device resets, loads the bootloader (verified with key #N-1 and #N) which then boots new app (verified with key #N).

6. The new app verifies bootloader and application with key #N (as a final check) and then runs code to revoke key #N-1 (sets KEY_REVOKE eFuse bit).

7. The API esp_ota_revoke_secure_boot_public_key() can be used to revoke the key #N-1.

- A similar approach can also be used to physically re-flash with a new key. For physical re-flashing, the bootloader content can also be changed at the same time.

### Aggressive Approach:

ROM code has an additional feature of revoking a public key digest if the signature verification fails.

To enable this feature, you need to burn SECURE_BOOT_AGGRESSIVE_REVOKE efuse or enable CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE_AGGRESSIVE_KEY_REVOKE

Key revocation is not applicable unless secure boot is successfully enabled. Also, a key is not revoked in case of invalid signature block or invalid image digest, it is only revoked in case the signature verification fails, i.e., revoke key only if failure in step 3 of Verifying an Image

Once a key is revoked, it can never be used for verifying a signature of an image. This feature provides strong resistance against physical attacks on the device. However, this could also brick the device permanently if all the keys are revoked because of signature verification failure.

## Technical Details

The following sections contain low-level reference descriptions of various Secure Boot elements:

### Manual Commands

Secure boot is integrated into the esp-idf build system, so `idf.py build` will sign an app image and `idf.py bootloader` will produce a signed bootloader if secure signed binaries on build is enabled.

However, it is possible to use the `espsecure.py` tool to make standalone signatures and digests.

To sign a binary image:

    espsecure.py sign_data --version 2 --keyfile ./my_signing_key.pem --output ./image_signed.bin image-unsigned.bin

Keyfile is the PEM file containing an RSA-3072, ECDSA-256, or ECDSA-192 private signing key.

## Secure Boot & Flash Encryption

If Secure Boot is used without flash 加密, it is possible to launch "time-of-check to time-of-use" attack, where flash contents are swapped after the image is verified and running. Therefore, it is recommended to use both the features together.

## Signed App Verification Without Hardware Secure Boot

The Secure Boot V2 signature of apps can be checked on OTA update, without enabling the hardware Secure Boot option. This option uses the same app signature scheme as Secure Boot V2, but unlike hardware Secure Boot it does not prevent an attacker who can write to flash from bypassing the signature protection.

This may be desirable in cases where the delay of Secure Boot verification on startup is unacceptable, and/or where the threat model does not include physical access or attackers writing to bootloader or app partitions in flash.

In this mode, the public key which is present in the signature block of the currently running app will be used to verify the signature of a newly updated app. (The signature on the running app is not verified during the update process, it is assumed to be valid.) In this way the system creates a chain of trust from the running app to the newly updated app.

For this reason, it is essential that the initial app flashed to the device is also signed. A check is run on app startup and the app will abort if no signatures are found. This is to try and prevent a situation where no update is possible. The app should have only one valid signature block in the first position. Note again that, unlike hardware Secure Boot V2, the signature of the running app is not verified on boot. The system only verifies a signature block in the first position and ignores any other appended signatures.

Although multiple trusted keys are supported when using hardware Secure Boot, only the first public key in the signature block is used to verify updates if signature checking without Secure Boot is configured. If multiple trusted public keys are required, it is necessary to enable the full Secure Boot feature instead.

备注

In general, it is recommended to use full hardware Secure Boot unless certain that this option is sufficient for application security needs.

### How To Enable Signed App Verification

1. Open 项目配置菜单 -> Security features

2. Choose App Signing Scheme. Either RSA or ECDSA (V2)

3. Enable CONFIG_SECURE_SIGNED_APPS_NO_SECURE_BOOT

4. By default, "Sign binaries during build" will be enabled on selecting "Require signed app images" option, which will sign binary files as a part of build process. The file named in "Secure boot private signing key" will be used to sign the image.

5. If you disable "Sign binaries during build" option then all app binaries must be manually signed by following instructions in Remote Signing of Images.

警告

It is very important that all apps flashed have been signed, either during the build or after the build.

## Advanced Features

### JTAG Debugging

By default, when Secure Boot is enabled then JTAG debugging is disabled via eFuse. The bootloader does this on first boot, at the same time it enables Secure Boot.

See JTAG 与 flash 加密和安全引导 for more information about using JTAG Debugging with either Secure Boot or signed app verification enabled.
