that's what tpm is for, surely?

Sure if it's a physical box. I'm not sure how full disk encryption would store keys in hardware for VMs though, you'd probably need some kind of HSM.

No. If you can power on the device, and the device unlocks itself on boot, the TPM is useless.

the specific case of "if you can get the hard drive out of the thing, either directly or just finding it after it's been improperly disposed of" would be fixed even if the TPM just auto-unlocked everything

useless for a full physical compromise. it would allow partial compromises (e.g. stolen drive) to be mitigated

The threat model is "Somebody walking away with the box and putting malware on it."

otoh, if the box can unlock its own encryption on boot, so can an attacker

while the computer is running other mechanisms are in place to protect the data.

that depends on how the bootloader and unlock is set up

the implication is that they only care about encryption, so they would approve a system where you can boot into an attacker-supplied OS while still being able to unlock the disk

if the TPM is releasing the DEK then its going to validate the enclave before doing so and you'll have to yank the entire system instead of just the drive. with appropriate physical security its probably not worth doing FDE but ifs its platter disk or a low-IO the CPU overhead is barely measurable so why not do it on the off-hand chance that something is mishandled during decommissioning

hyper-v supports a virutal tpm for this purpose. it's p.slick and I wish vmware would get off their rear end and make parity

So in an effort to get back into doing fun coding things again, I'm going to probably demonstrate how I worked with breach data via Twitch streams. Still trying to come up with an angle I like but I feel like it's time to let people know that I am a terrible software developer and have bad ideas on how I approached the entire mess.

I'm not going to release the Canario source code but I'll probably rewrite it for funsies and dump that on Github as I go along.

Ok, let me be more clear:

If you can power on the device, and the device unlocks itself on boot, the key stored in the TPM for encryption is useless.

The TPM also stores the update binary key, which is still useful.

full disk encryption is there to improve confidentiality and kinda integrity at the expense of availability

for lots of computer poo poo availability is more important than confidentiality or integrity, especially if it's like a cable box or something where it's the buyer of the equipment that'll pay support costs if it loses availability but doesn't actually stand to lose much if confidentiality or integrity fail otherwise

i.e. comcast doesn't want you hacking your cable box to get all the porn channels or w/e for free but they definitely don't want you spending an hour on the phone if some part of the encryption stack has a fucky-wucky that would otherwise just be a weird glitch that the end user can deal with

but... not necessarily?

like, this is still new enough in security land (like 10 years old lol) that bugs are aplenty, but the whole point of a TPM is that it divulges the DEK if it's booting the exact hardware/firmware/software it should be.

Barring a security bug (however common), that's supposed to make it impossible for an attacker to get the DEK short of like spying on DRAM traces after boot or something wild like that

FDE also lets you do instant-erase by deleting the key

This is true but Comcast is also beholden to a set of criteria that the content providers set, and the specifications of the Conditional Access System supplier.

and you can't even sniff the TPM PCIe/LPC/i2c bus with session secrets, nor sniff the DRAM thatsensitive data is in (with AMD SME or Intel SGX)

maybe you can sniff the communication or firmware of the storage device? idk about those
