How to author an attestation policy

  • आलेख

Attestation policy is a file uploaded to Microsoft Azure Attestation. Azure Attestation offers the flexibility to upload a policy in an attestation-specific policy format. Alternatively, an encoded version of the policy, in JSON Web Signature, can also be uploaded. The policy administrator is responsible for writing the attestation policy. In most attestation scenarios, the relying party acts as the policy administrator. The client making the attestation call sends attestation evidence, which the service parses and converts into incoming claims (set of properties, value). The service then processes the claims, based on what is defined in the policy, and returns the computed result.

The policy contains rules that determine the authorization criteria, properties, and the contents of the attestation token:

version=1.0;
authorizationrules
{
    c:[type="secureBootEnabled", issuer=="AttestationService"]=> permit()
};

issuancerules
{
    c:[type="secureBootEnabled", issuer=="AttestationService"]=> issue(claim=c)
    c:[type="notSafeMode", issuer=="AttestationService"]=> issue(claim=c)
};

A policy file has three segments:

  • version: The version is the version number of the grammar that is followed. 
    version=MajorVersion.MinorVersion
    Currently the only version supported is version 1.0.
  • authorizationrules: A collection of claim rules that are checked first, to determine if Azure Attestation should proceed to issuancerules. The claim rules apply in the order they're defined.
  • issuancerules: A collection of claim rules that are evaluated to add additional information to the attestation result as defined in the policy. The claim rules apply in the order they're defined and are also optional.

For more information, see Claim and claim rules.

Drafting the policy file

  1. Create a new file.
  2. Add version to the file.
  3. Add sections for authorizationrules and issuancerules. 
    version=1.0;
authorizationrules
{
=>deny();
};

issuancerules
{
};
    The authorization rules contain the deny() action without any condition, to ensure no issuance rules are processed. Alternatively, the authorization rule can also contain permit() action, to allow processing of issuance rules.
  4. Add claim rules to the authorization rules 
    version=1.0;
authorizationrules
{
    [type=="secureBootEnabled", value==true, issuer=="AttestationService"]=>permit();
};

issuancerules
{
};
    If the incoming claim set contains a claim matching the type, value, and issuer, the permit() action tells the policy engine to process the issuancerules.
  5. Add claim rules to issuancerules. 
    version=1.0;
authorizationrules
{
    [type=="secureBootEnabled", value==true, issuer=="AttestationService"]=>permit();
};

issuancerules
{
    => issue(type="SecurityLevelValue", value=100);
};
    The outgoing claim set contains a claim with: 
    [type="SecurityLevelValue", value=100, valueType="Integer", issuer="AttestationPolicy"]
    Complex policies can be crafted in a similar manner. For more information, see attestation policy examples.
  6. Save the file.

Creating the policy file in JSON Web Signature format

After creating a policy file, to upload a policy in JSON Web Signature (JWS) format, follow the below steps.

  1. Generate the JWS, RFC7515 with policy (utf-8 encoded) as the payload. The payload identifier for the Base64Url encoded policy should be "AttestationPolicy".

    Sample JWT:

    Header: {"alg":"none"}
Payload: {"AttestationPolicy":" Base64Url (policy)"}
Signature: {}

JWS format: eyJhbGciOiJub25lIn0.XXXXXXXXX.

  2. Sign the policy (optional). Azure Attestation supports the following algorithms:

    • None: Don't sign the policy payload.
    • RS256: Supported algorithm to sign the policy payload.

  3. Upload the JWS and validate the policy.

    • If the policy file is free of syntax errors, the service accepts the policy file.
    • If the policy file contains syntax errors, the service rejects the policy file.
