Subject: [PATCH] virt: Prevent AES-GCM IV reuse in SNP guest driver
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2022 08:03:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221019150333.1047423-1-pgonda@google.com> (raw)

The ASP and an SNP guest use a series of AES-GCM keys called VMPCKs to
communicate securely with each other. The IV to this scheme is a
sequence number that both the ASP and the guest track. Currently this
sequence number in a guest request must exactly match the sequence
number tracked by the ASP. This means that if the guest sees an error
from the host during a request it can only retry that exact request or
disable the VMPCK to prevent an IV reuse. AES-GCM cannot tolerate IV
reuse see:
