    Abstract:

    The security of the trusted execution environment (TEE) has been concerned by Chinese and foreign researchers. Memory tag technology utilized in TEE helps to achieve finer-grained memory isolation and access control mechanisms. Nevertheless, prior works often rely on testing or empirical analysis to show their effectiveness, which fails to strongly guarantee the functional correctness and security properties. This study proposes a general formal model framework for memory tag-based access control and introduces a security analysis method in access control based on model checking. First, a general model framework for the access control model of TEE based on memory tag is constructed through a formal method, and those access control entities are formally defined. The defined rules include access control rules and tag update rules. Then abstract machines under the framework are incrementally designed and implemented with formal language B. In addition, the basic properties of the machines are formalized through invariant constraints. Next, a TEE implementation called TIMBER-V is used as an application case. The TIMBER-V access control model is constructed by instantiating these abstract machines, and the security properties are formally specified. Furthermore, the functional correctness and security of the models are verified based on model checking. Finally, this study simulates the specific attack scenarios, and these attacks are successfully detected. The evaluation results have proved the effectiveness of the security analysis method.
