Note When the agent is deployed on SuSE 15 with kernels 5.3.18-24.34-default or later, DS20_v2.der is required because verification of kernel module signatures has changed.

Update the Trend Micro public key

WARNING If a public key for Secure Boot becomes invalid for any of these reasons, and you don't replace it, then an "Engine Offline" error message could appear in the console, and the computer will not be protected.

Enroll a Secure Boot key for AWS

1. Download the required CA certificates and Trend Micro public keys for Secure Boot.
2. If you do not have a platform key, see the AWS documentation to generate a Secure Boot platform key .

   WARNING Only replace the platform key if you can access the firmware of all devices that are loaded during boot (for example, the GPU). If you cannot update the firmware's signing chain to use your new platform key, then Secure Boot could make the instance permanently unable to boot.

3. Create an EC2 virtual machine instance from a Linux distribution AMI that supports Secure Boot.
4. In the console on that instance, install the Machine Owner Key (MOK) command mokutil, uefivars, and Python. For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, enter the commands:

   yum install mokutil
   yum install python3
   curl -L -o uefivars.zip https://github.com/awslabs/python-uefivars/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
   unzip uefivars.zip

   On Debian or Ubuntu, enter the commands:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install efitools
   sudo apt-get install python3
   curl -L -o uefivars.zip https://github.com/awslabs/python-uefivars/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
   unzip uefivars.zip

5. Upload the CA certificates and Trend Micro public keys to the instance.
6. Put each platform key, CA certificate, and Trend Micro public key inside a UEFI signature list (.esl) file. Combine them into one file, and then convert it into binary (.bin) format. For example, depending on which Trend Micro public keys you use, you might enter the commands:

   # Convert your platform key into signatures list format
   cert-to-efi-sig-list YOUR_PLATFORM_KEY.crt YOUR_PLATFORM_KEY.esl
   # Convert CA certificates
   sbsiglist --owner 77fa9abd-0359-4d32-bd60-28f4e78f784b --type x509 --output MS_CA_KEK.esl MicCorKEKCA2011_2011-06-24.crt

   where 77fa9abd-0359-4d32-bd60-28f4e78f784b is the GUID in the SignatureOwner field of the Microsoft Corporation KEK CA 2011 certificate.
7. Download the .bin file.
8. Create a new EC2 snapshot of the instance.
9. Go to AWS Cloudshell. Select Actions → Files → Upload file and then select the binary file.
10. Create a new AMI with the snapshot ID and the .bin file that you uploaded. For example, you could enter the command:

    aws ec2 register-image --name LIFT-UBUNTU20SecureBootX64 --uefi-data $(cat YOUR_BINARY_SIGNING_CHAIN.bin) --block-device-mappings "DeviceName=/dev/sda1,Ebs= {SnapshotId={{YOUR-SNAPSHOT-ID}},DeleteOnTermination=true}" --architecture x86_64 --root-device-name /dev/sda1 --virtualization-type hvm --boot-mode uefi

11. Use the customized image to create a new instance with Secure Boot enabled.
12. Verify that the keys are successfully enrolled in the MOK list:

    mokutil --db | grep Trend

    and that the kernel has successfully loaded the Trend Micro public keys:

    dmesg | grep cert

Enroll a Secure Boot key for Google Cloud Platform

1. Download the required CA certificates and Trend Micro public keys for Secure Boot.
2. If you do not have a platform key, see the Google Cloud Platform documentation to generate a Secure Boot platform key.

   WARNING Only replace the platform key if you can access the firmware of all devices that are loaded during boot (for example, the GPU). If you cannot update the firmware's signing chain to use your new platform key, then Secure Boot could make the instance permanently unable to boot.

3. Create customized virtual machine images with the CA certificates and Trend Micro public keys that will be used by Secure Boot. For example, you could enter the command:

   gcloud compute images create [IMAGE_NAME] \
    --source-image=[SOURCE_IMAGE] \
    --source-image-project=[SOURCE_PROJECT] \
    --platform-key-file=YOUR_PLATFORM_KEY.der \
    --signature-database-file=./MicCorUEFCA2011_2011-06-27.crt,./MicWinProPCA2011_2011-10-19.crt,./DS2022.der,./DS20_v2.der,./DS20.der,./DS12.der,./DS11_2022.der[,OTHER_EXISTING_KEYS] \
    --guest-os-features=UEFI_COMPATIBLE

   Public keys must be in DER or BIN format. Separate each with a comma ( , ). For details on command usage and the API, see the Google Cloud Platform documentation.

   WARNING Include all valid existing Secure Boot keys when you enter this command. This command overwrites all existing keys. If you do not include them, they will be deleted and their kernel modules will not load.

4. Use the customized image to create a new instance with Secure Boot enabled.
5. Verify that the keys are successfully enrolled:

   grep 'Trend' /proc/keys

Enroll a Secure Boot key for VMware vSphere or physical computers

Tip If many computers will use Secure Boot, then create a virtual machine or OS image file after you complete this procedure. New computers can be installed from that file.

Note If the computer uses Oracle Linux prior to UEK R6U3, then don't use this procedure. Instead, see Enroll a Secure Boot key for Oracle Linux.

1. Download the required CA certificates and Trend Micro public keys for Secure Boot.
2. If you do not have a platform key, see your Linux distribution's documentation to generate a Secure Boot platform key.

   WARNING Only replace the platform key if you can access the firmware of all devices that are loaded during boot (for example, the GPU). If you cannot update the firmware's signing chain to use your new platform key, then Secure Boot could make the computer permanently unable to boot.

3. On the computer where Secure Boot will be enabled, install the Machine Owner Key (MOK) command mokutil. For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, enter the command:

   yum install mokutil

   On Debian or Ubuntu, enter the commands:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install efitools

4. Add the Trend Micro public keys to the MOK list. Separate multiple keys (if required) with a space. For example:

   mokutil --import /opt/ds_agent/DS2022.der /opt/ds_agent/DS20_v2.der /opt/ds_agent/DS20.der

   When prompted, enter a password that you will use later in this procedure.
5. Reboot the computer.
6. When the computer restarts, the Shim UEFI key management console opens. Press any key to continue.
7. On the Perform MOK management screen, select Enroll MOK.
8. Select View key X if you need to verify the certificate hashes of the public keys. Press any key to return to the Enroll MOK screen.
9. Select Continue on the Enroll the key(s)? screen.
10. Select Yes, then enter the password that you entered earlier.
11. On the The system must now be rebooted screen, select OK to confirm your changes and reboot.
12. Verify that the keys are successfully enrolled in the MOK list:
    • On most operating systems, enter the command: mokutil --test-key /opt/ds_agent/${certificate_file}.der
    • On Debian 11, enter the command: keyctl show %:.platform | grep 'Trend'

Enroll a Secure Boot key for Oracle Linux

1. Download the required CA certificates and Trend Micro public keys for Secure Boot.
2. Follow the Oracle Linux documentation for Signing Kernel Images and Kernel Modules for Use With Secure Boot.
3. When you reach the step for Insert the Module Certificate in the Kernel Image, replace pubkey.der with the name of your Trend Micro public key. For example:

   sudo /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/scripts/insert-sys-cert -s /boot/System.map$(uname -r) -z /boot/vmlinuz$(uname -r) -c ./DS20_v2.der

4. Continue with the remaining steps to sign the kernel boot image.
5. Verify that the key is listed in the builtin_trusted_keys keyring:

   sudo keyctl show %:.builtin_trusted_keys | grep 'Trend'
