TPM support for FortiGate-VM

Using the TPM module, the FortiGate can generate, store, and authenticate cryptographic keys. When TPM is enabled on a FortiGate, the admin must set a 32-digit hexadecimal master-encryption-password to encrypt sensitive data on the FortiGate such as admin passwords, IPsec VPN preshared keys (PSK), and other passwords and keys as this document lists. In turn, a TPM-generated primary key, which is stored on the TPM, encrypts this master-encryption-passsword.

When the FortiGate backs up configurations to a configuration file, the master-encryption-password encrypts passwords and keys. The primary key also encrypts the master-encryption-password. Therefore, when restoring a config file, if the FortiGate does not have TPM enabled, or does not have the same master-encryption-key, you cannot upload the configuration file.

This enhancement adds TPM support to FGT-VM64 platforms. Hypervisors with software TPM emulator packages installed can support the TPM feature in FortiOS. This feature supports KVM/QEMU.

For information about TPM, see Trusted platform module support.

Passwords and keys that the masterencryptionkey can encrypt include:

Alert email user password
BGP and other routing-related configurations
External resource
FortiGuard proxy password
FortiToken/FortiToken Mobile seed
High availability password
Link Monitor server-side password
IPsec VPN PSK
Local certificate private key
SDN connector server-side password
Local, LDAP, RADIUS, FSSO, and other user category-related passwords
Modem/PPPoE
NST password
NTP Password
SNMP
Wireless security-related password

You cannot restore a private key-encrypted configuration via the FortiOS GUI if private-data-encryption is disabled. The following shows the GUI in this scenario:

To check if your FortiGate has a TPM:

Verify that the required packages are installed on the Linux KVM host:

packet@kvm-s01:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release:	22.04
Codename:	jammy
packet@kvm-s01:~$

Import a FGT_VM64_KVM VM to the host. You may want to change the following script to fit your setup:

Key pairs are created on the host when the VM with TPM is imported:

Enable TPM and input the master encryption password. This is an example. Using 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef as your private key is not recommended:

FGT_VM64_KVM # execute private-encryption-key sample
Private encryption is not enabled.
Command fail. Return code 7

FGT_VM64_KVM # 
FGT_VM64_KVM # config system global

FGT_VM64_KVM (global) # set private-data-encryption enable

FGT_VM64_KVM (global) # end
Please type your private data encryption key (32 hexadecimal numbers):
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
Please re-enter your private data encryption key (32 hexadecimal numbers) again:
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
Your private data encryption key is accepted.

The following shows an example of a successful activation:

FGT_VM64_KVM # execute private-encryption-key sample B64TEXT: u7oOx1iBjPFu4XLZVq5/RpoZrDJ9htRo6Jjhfts4BaI= B64HMAC: FHmUhzSyT0IEfyoRnfdTFbY2l0o=

Note the B64TEXT and B64HMAC sample keys. Run the following to verify the feature:

FGT_VM64_KVM # execute private-encryption-key verify u7oOx1iBjPFu4XLZVq5/RpoZrDJ9htRo6Jjhfts4BaI= FHmUhzSyT0IEfyoRnfdTFbY2l0o= Verification passed.

Back up the config:

FGT_VM64_KVM # execute backup config tftp FGVM02TM12345678.conf 172.18.70.161 Please wait... Connect to tftp server 172.18.70.161 ... # Send config file to tftp server OK.

Verify that the backup config has private-encryption-key:

packet@1804:/mnt/incoming$ less FGVM02TM12345678.conf #config-version=FGVMK6-7.0.8-FW-build0418-220920:opmode=0:vdom=0:user=admin #conf_file_ver=2079893748141389 #buildno=0418 #global_vdom=1 #private-encryption-key=oY5GhQK3w0Ddn0EX+8hp6UYpjB4= config system global set admin-server-cert "Fortinet_Factory" set alias "FortiGate-VM64-KVM" set hostname "FGT_VM64_KVM" set private-data-encryption enable set timezone 04 end

Factory reset the FortiGate and restore the backup config. If private-data-encryption is disabled, the restore fails:

FGT_VM64_KVM # execute factoryreset keepvmlicense
This operation will reset the system to factory default except VM license!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)y


System is resetting to factory default...

After reboot:

Get file from TFTP server OK.
The configuration was encrypted with a private encryption key but encryption is not enabled. Required: Enable private-data-encryption under system.global.

The backup config restore fails if private-data-encryption is enabled with a incorrect master key:

You can only restore the backup config when private-data-encryption is enabled with the correct master key.

TPM support for FortiGate-VM

This enhancement adds TPM support to FGT-VM64 platforms. Hypervisors with software TPM emulator packages installed can support the TPM feature in FortiOS. This feature supports KVM/QEMU.

For information about TPM, see Trusted platform module support.

Passwords and keys that the masterencryptionkey can encrypt include:

Alert email user password
BGP and other routing-related configurations
External resource
FortiGuard proxy password
FortiToken/FortiToken Mobile seed
High availability password
Link Monitor server-side password
IPsec VPN PSK
Local certificate private key
SDN connector server-side password
Local, LDAP, RADIUS, FSSO, and other user category-related passwords
Modem/PPPoE
NST password
NTP Password
SNMP
Wireless security-related password

You cannot restore a private key-encrypted configuration via the FortiOS GUI if private-data-encryption is disabled. The following shows the GUI in this scenario:

To check if your FortiGate has a TPM:

Verify that the required packages are installed on the Linux KVM host:

packet@kvm-s01:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Import a FGT_VM64_KVM VM to the host. You may want to change the following script to fit your setup:

Enable TPM and input the master encryption password. This is an example. Using 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef as your private key is not recommended:

FGT_VM64_KVM # execute private-encryption-key sample
Private encryption is not enabled.
Command fail. Return code 7

FGT_VM64_KVM # 
FGT_VM64_KVM # config system global

Please type your private data encryption key (32 hexadecimal numbers):

Please re-enter your private data encryption key (32 hexadecimal numbers) again:
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
Your private data encryption key is accepted.

The following shows an example of a successful activation:

Note the B64TEXT and B64HMAC sample keys. Run the following to verify the feature:

Verify that the backup config has private-encryption-key:

Factory reset the FortiGate and restore the backup config. If private-data-encryption is disabled, the restore fails:

You can only restore the backup config when private-data-encryption is enabled with the correct master key.
