NAME

espsecure - ESP32 Secure Boot & Flash Encryption tool

DESCRIPTION

usage: espsecure [OPTION] COMMAND

command arguments:

Take a bootloader binary image and a secure boot key, and output a combined digest+binary suitable for flashing along with the precalculated secure boot key.
Generate a private key for signing secure boot images. Key file is generated in PEM format, and contains a ECDSA NIST256p private key and matching public key.
Sign a data file for use with secure boot. Signing algorithm is determinsitic ECDSA w/ SHA-512.
Verify a data file previously signed by "sign_data", using the public key.
Extract the public verification key for signatures, save it as a raw binary file.
Generate an SHA-256 digest of the private signing key. This can be used as a reproducible secure bootloader or flash encryption key.
Generate a development-use 32 byte flash encryption key with random data.
Decrypt some data read from encrypted flash (using known key)
Encrypt some data suitable for encrypted flash (using known key)

optional arguments:

show this help message and exit
