Deploying Red Hat build of Trustee
Secure management and attestation of confidential containers workloads
Abstract
Preface
Chapter 1. Overview
Learn about Red Hat build of Trustee features and terminology. You must ensure that your OpenShift Container Platform environment is compatible.
1.1. About Red Hat build of Trustee
Red Hat build of Trustee is a critical component of the confidential containers solution for OpenShift sandboxed containers. Red Hat build of Trustee enables secure management and attestation of confidential workloads running within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) on a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Red Hat build of Trustee is a service that facilitates the deployment and management of confidential containers. It provides attestation and key management services to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of workloads running in TEEs.
You deploy Red Hat build of Trustee on a separate OpenShift Container Platform cluster in a trusted environment, not on the cluster that hosts the primary workload. This separation enhances security by isolating sensitive operations from the untrusted cloud infrastructure.
Red Hat build of Trustee performs the following key functions:
- Verifies the integrity of the TEE and the workloads running within it, ensuring that it only executes trusted code and data.
- Securely manages cryptographic keys and secrets required by confidential containers, protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access.
-
Simplifies the configuration of TEEs through the
KbsConfigcustom resource, enabling seamless integration with OpenShift Container Platform workflows.
By leveraging Red Hat build of Trustee, OpenShift Container Platform users can deploy confidential workloads using familiar tools while maintaining strong security guarantees, even on shared or third-party infrastructure.

2.4. Creating the kbs-config config map
You create the kbs-config config map to configure Red Hat build of Trustee.
Procedure
Create a
kbs-config-cm.yamlmanifest file:apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: kbs-config-cm namespace: trustee-operator-system data: kbs-config.toml: | [http_server] sockets = ["0.0.0.0:8080"] insecure_http = false private_key = "/etc/https-key/tls.key" certificate = "/etc/https-cert/tls.crt" worker_count = 4 [admin] insecure_api = false auth_public_key = "/etc/auth-secret/publicKey" [attestation_token] attestation_token_type = "CoCo" [attestation_service] type = "coco_as_builtin" work_dir = "/opt/confidential-containers/attestation-service" policy_engine = "opa" [attestation_service.attestation_token_broker] type = "Ear" policy_dir = "/opt/confidential-containers/attestation-service/policies" [attestation_service.attestation_token_config] duration_min = 5 [attestation_service.rvps_config] type = "BuiltIn" [attestation_service.rvps_config.storage] type = "LocalJson" file_path = "/opt/confidential-containers/rvps/reference-values/reference-values.json" [[plugins]] name = "resource" type = "LocalFs" dir_path = "/opt/confidential-containers/kbs/repository" [policy_engine] policy_path = "/opt/confidential-containers/opa/policy.rego"Create the config map by running the following command:
$ oc create -f kbs-config-cm.yaml
2.5. Creating the RVPS config map
You create the Reference Value Provider Service (RVPS) config map, which specifies the reference values for your Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
The client collects measurements from the running software, the TEE hardware and firmware and it submits a quote with the claims to the Attestation Server. These measurements must match the trusted digests registered to Red Hat build of Trustee. This process ensures that the confidential VM (CVM) is running the expected software stack and has not been tampered with.
The data.reference-values.json stanza must be present, but it can be empty.
Do not use this configuration example in a production environment. Initially, you create an empty RVPS config map. Then, you update the RVPS config map with reference values for your TEE.
Procedure
Create an
rvps-configmap.yamlmanifest file:apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: rvps-reference-values namespace: trustee-operator-system data: reference-values.json: | [ ]Create the RVPS config map by running the following command:
$ oc create -f rvps-configmap.yaml
2.6. Creating the attestation policy config map
You create an attestation policy config map to define attestation policies for Red Hat build of Trustee.
The attestation policy follows the Content from www.openpolicyagent.org is not included.Open Policy Agent specification.
This policy checks the Platform Configuration Register (PCR) values 03, 08, 09, 11, and 12 values against the reference values to ensure that the confidential containers pod uses the specified restrictive Kata agent policy and that the Red Hat pod VM image has not been altered. For details, see Content from uapi-group.org is not included.Linux TPM PCR Registry in the UAPI Group Specifications documentation.
Procedure
Create an
attestation-policy.yamlmanifest file:apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: attestation-policy namespace: trustee-operator-system data: default_cpu.rego: | package policy import rego.v1 default executables := 33 default hardware := 97 default configuration := 36 ##### Azure vTPM SNP executables := 3 if { input.azsnpvtpm.measurement in data.reference.measurement input.azsnpvtpm.tpm.pcr11 in data.reference.snp_pcr11 } hardware := 2 if { input.azsnpvtpm.reported_tcb_bootloader in data.reference.tcb_bootloader input.azsnpvtpm.reported_tcb_microcode in data.reference.tcb_microcode input.azsnpvtpm.reported_tcb_snp in data.reference.tcb_snp input.azsnpvtpm.reported_tcb_tee in data.reference.tcb_tee } configuration := 2 if { input.azsnpvtpm.platform_smt_enabled in data.reference.smt_enabled input.azsnpvtpm.platform_tsme_enabled in data.reference.tsme_enabled input.azsnpvtpm.policy_abi_major in data.reference.abi_major input.azsnpvtpm.policy_abi_minor in data.reference.abi_minor input.azsnpvtpm.policy_single_socket in data.reference.single_socket input.azsnpvtpm.policy_smt_allowed in data.reference.smt_allowed } ##### Azure vTPM TDX executables := 3 if { input.aztdxvtpm.tpm.pcr03 in data.reference.tdx_pcr03 input.aztdxvtpm.tpm.pcr08 in data.reference.tdx_pcr08 input.aztdxvtpm.tpm.pcr09 in data.reference.tdx_pcr09 input.aztdxvtpm.tpm.pcr11 in data.reference.tdx_pcr11 input.aztdxvtpm.tpm.pcr12 in data.reference.tdx_pcr12 } hardware := 2 if { # Check the quote is a TDX quote signed by Intel SGX Quoting Enclave input.aztdxvtpm.quote.header.tee_type == "81000000" input.aztdxvtpm.quote.header.vendor_id == "939a7233f79c4ca9940a0db3957f0607" # Check TDX Module version and its hash.

tdx-config.yamlmanifest file according to the following example:apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: tdx-config namespace: trustee-operator-system data: sgx_default_qcnl.conf: | { "collateral_service": "https://api.trustedservices.intel.com/sgx/certification/v4/" }Create the
tdx-configconfig map by running the following command:$ oc create -f tdx-config.yaml
2.8. Creating a secret with custom keys for clients
You can create a secret that contains one or more custom keys for Red Hat build of Trustee clients.
In this example, the attestation-status secret has two entries (key1, key2), which the clients retrieve. You can add additional secrets according to your requirements by using the same format.
Prerequisites
- You have created one or more custom keys.
Procedure
Create a secret for the custom keys according to the following example:
$ oc create secret generic attestation-status \ --from-literal key1=<custom_key1> \ 1 --from-literal key2=<custom_key2> \ -n trustee-operator-system- 1
- Specify a custom key.
You specify the
attestation-statussecret in thespec.kbsSecretResourceskey of theKbsConfigcustom resource manifest.
2.9. Creating a secret for container image signature verification
If you use container image signature verification, you must create a secret that contains the public container image signing key.
The Red Hat build of Trustee Operator uses the secret to verify the signature, ensuring that only trusted and authenticated container images are deployed in your environment.
You can use This content is not included.Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer or other tools to sign container images.
Procedure
Create a secret for container image signature verification by running the following command:
$ oc create secret generic <type> \ 1 --from-file=<tag>=./<public_key_file> \ 2 -n trustee-operator-system
-

<type>value. You must add this value to thespec.kbsSecretResourceskey when you create theKbsConfigcustom resource.
2.10. Creating the container image signature verification policy
You configure the container image signature verification policy. Signature verification is disabled by default. To enable signature verification for your container images, follow the procedure. For more information, see Content from github.com is not included.containers-policy.json 5.
Both the signature keys and the corresponding policy must be added to Red Hat build of Trustee. The following procedure describes only how to add the policy itself. For more information about signature keys, see Creating the attestation token secret.
Procedure
Create a
security-policy-config.jsonfile according to the following example:{ "default": [ { "type": "reject" 1 } ], "transports": { "<transport>": { 2 "<registry>/<image>": 3 [ { "type": "sigstoreSigned", "keyPath": "kbs:///default/<type>/<tag>" 4 } ] } } }- 1
- By default, the policy rejects all images and all signatures. The transports section specifies which images the policy explicitly approves and verifies through their signatures.
- 2
- Specify the image repository for
transport, for example,"docker":. For more information, see Content from github.com is not included.containers-transports 5. - 3
- Specify the container registry and image, for example, "quay.io/my-image".
- 4
- Specify the type and tag of the container image signature verification secret that you created, for example,
img-sig/pub-key.
Create the security policy by running the following command:
$ oc create secret generic <security-policy-name> \ --from-file=<osc-key>=./<security-policy-config.json> \ -n trustee-operator-system
The
<security-policy-name>secret is specified in thespec.kbsSecretResourceskey of theKbsConfigcustom resource.
2.11. Creating the resource policy config map
You configure the resource policy config map for the policy engine. This policy determines which resources are accessible to Red Hat build of Trustee.
This policy engine is different from the Attestation Service policy engine, which determines the validity of TEE evidence.
Procedure
Create a
resourcepolicy-configmap.yamlmanifest file:apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: resource-policy namespace: trustee-operator-system data: policy.rego: | package policy default allow = true allow { input["submods"]["cpu0"]["ear.status"] == "affirming" }- policy.rego
-
The name of the resource policy,
policy.rego, must match the resource policy defined in thekbs-configconfig map. - package policy
- The resource policy follows the Content from www.openpolicyagent.org is not included.Open Policy Agent specification.
Create the resource policy config map by running the following command:
$ oc create -f resourcepolicy-configmap.yaml
2.12. Creating the cluster route
You create a secure route with edge TLS termination for the cluster where you installed Red Hat build of Trustee.
External ingress traffic reaches the router pods as HTTPS and passes on to the pods running in the trustee-operator-system namespace as HTTP.
Procedure
Create an edge route by running the following command:
$ oc create route passthrough --service=kbs-service --port kbs-port \ -n trustee-operator-system
Set the
TRUSTEE_HOSTvariable by running the following command:$ TRUSTEE_HOST=$(oc get route -n trustee-operator-system kbs-service \ -o jsonpath={.spec.host})Verify the route by running the following command:
$ echo $TRUSTEE_HOST
Example output
kbs-service-trustee-operator-system.apps.memvjias.eastus.aroapp.io
2.13. Creating the authentication secret

2.16.8. Creating the RVPS config map
You create the Reference Value Provider Service (RVPS) config map, which specifies the reference values for your Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
The client collects measurements from the running software, the TEE hardware and firmware and it submits a quote with the claims to the Attestation Server. These measurements must match the trusted digests registered to Red Hat build of Trustee. This process ensures that the confidential VM (CVM) is running the expected software stack and has not been tampered with.
The data.reference-values.json stanza must be present, but it can be empty.
Do not use this configuration example in a production environment. Initially, you create an empty RVPS config map. Then, you update the RVPS config map with reference values for your TEE.
Procedure

Procedure
Create an edge route by running the following command:
$ oc create route passthrough --service=kbs-service --port kbs-port \ -n trustee-operator-system
Set the
TRUSTEE_HOSTvariable by running the following command:$ TRUSTEE_HOST=$(oc get route -n trustee-operator-system kbs-service \ -o jsonpath={.spec.host})Verify the route by running the following command:
$ echo $TRUSTEE_HOST
Example output
kbs-service-trustee-operator-system.apps.memvjias.eastus.aroapp.io
3.15. Creating the authentication secret
You create the authentication secret for Red Hat build of Trustee.
Procedure
Create a private key by running the following command:
$ openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 > privateKey
Create a public key by running the following command:
$ openssl pkey -in privateKey -pubout -out publicKey
Create a secret by running the following command:
$ oc create secret generic kbs-auth-public-key \ --from-file=publicKey -n trustee-operator-system
Verify the secret by running the following command:
$ oc get secret -n trustee-operator-system
3.16. Creating the KbsConfig custom resource
Create the KbsConfig custom resource (CR) to launch Red Hat build of Trustee.

kbsSecretResources: Specify thetypevalue of the container image signature verification secret if you created the secret, for example,img-sig. -
Uncomment
tdxConfigSpec.kbsTdxConfigMapName: tdx-configfor Intel Trust Domain Extensions. -
Uncomment
kbsServiceType: <service_type>if you create a service type, other than the defaultClusterIPservice, to expose applications within the cluster external traffic. You can specifyNodePort,LoadBalancer, orExternalName.
-
Create the
KbsConfigCR by running the following command:$ oc create -f kbsconfig-cr.yaml
3.17. Updating the RVPS config map
You update the Reference Value Provider Service (RVPS) config map with expected measurements, including the Platform Configuration Register (PCR) 8 value, for the trusted execution environment. Red Hat build of Trustee uses these measurements to verify the attestation evidence.
The workload cluster administrator calculates the PCR8 value by performing a SHA256 hash on a configuration or policy file such as initdata:
$ hash=$(sha256sum <config_file> | cut -d' ' -f1) $ initial_pcr=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 $ PCR8_HASH=$(echo -n "$initial_pcr$hash" | xxd -r -p | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f1)
Prerequisites

$ oc create -f kbs-config-cm.yaml
4.5. Creating the RVPS config map
You create the Reference Value Provider Service (RVPS) config map, which specifies the reference values for your Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
The client collects measurements from the running software, the TEE hardware and firmware and it submits a quote with the claims to the Attestation Server. These measurements must match the trusted digests registered to Red Hat build of Trustee. This process ensures that the confidential VM (CVM) is running the expected software stack and has not been tampered with.
The data.reference-values.json stanza must be present, but it can be empty.
Do not use this configuration example in a production environment. Initially, you create an empty RVPS config map. Then, you update the RVPS config map with reference values for your TEE.

Procedure
Create a
persistent-volume.yamlmanifest file:apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolume metadata: name: ibmse-pv namespace: trustee-operator-system spec: capacity: storage: 100Mi accessModes: - ReadOnlyMany storageClassName: "" local: path: /opt/confidential-containers/ibmse nodeAffinity: required: nodeSelectorTerms: - matchExpressions: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker operator: ExistsCreate the persistent volume by running the following command:
$ oc create -f persistent-volume.yaml
Create a
persistent-volume-claim.yamlmanifest file:apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: ibmse-pvc namespace: trustee-operator-system spec: accessModes: - ReadOnlyMany storageClassName: "" resources: requests: storage: 100MiCreate the persistent volume claim by running the following command:
$ oc create -f persistent-volume-claim.yaml
4.8. Creating the attestation policy config map
You create an attestation policy config map to define attestation policies for Red Hat build of Trustee.
The attestation policy follows the Content from www.openpolicyagent.org is not included.Open Policy Agent specification.
Procedure
Create an
attestation-policy.yamlmanifest file:apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: attestation-policy namespace: trustee-operator-system data: default_cpu.rego: | package policy import rego.v1 default allow = false converted_version := sprintf("%v", [input["se.version"]]) allow if { input["se.attestation_phkh"] == "<se.attestation_phkh>" input["se.image_phkh"] == "<se.image_phkh>" input["se.tag"] == "<se.tag>" converted_version == "256" }default_cpu.rego- Do not modify the policy name.
Create the attestation policy config map by running the following command:
$ oc create -f attestation-policy.yaml
4.9. Creating a secret with custom keys for clients
You can create a secret that contains one or more custom keys for Red Hat build of Trustee clients.
In this example, the attestation-status secret has two entries (key1, key2), which the clients retrieve. You can add additional secrets according to your requirements by using the same format.
Prerequisites
- You have created one or more custom keys.
Procedure
Create a secret for the custom keys according to the following example:
$ oc create secret generic attestation-status \ --from-literal key1=<custom_key1> \ 1 --from-literal key2=<custom_key2> \ -n trustee-operator-systemYou specify the
attestation-statussecret in thespec.kbsSecretResourceskey of theKbsConfigcustom resource manifest.
4.10. Creating a secret for container image signature verification
If you use container image signature verification, you must create a secret that contains the public container image signing key.
The Red Hat build of Trustee Operator uses the secret to verify the signature, ensuring that only trusted and authenticated container images are deployed in your environment.
You can use This content is not included.Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer or other tools to sign container images.
Procedure
Create a secret for container image signature verification by running the following command:
$ oc create secret generic <type> \ 1 --from-file=<tag>=./<public_key_file> \ 2 -n trustee-operator-system
-
Record the
<type>value. You must add this value to thespec.kbsSecretResourceskey when you create theKbsConfigcustom resource.
4.11. Creating the container image signature verification policy
You configure the container image signature verification policy. Signature verification is disabled by default. To enable signature verification for your container images, follow the procedure. For more information, see Content from github.com is not included.containers-policy.json 5.
Both the signature keys and the corresponding policy must be added to Red Hat build of Trustee. The following procedure describes only how to add the policy itself. For more information about signature keys, see Creating the attestation token secret.
Procedure
Create a
security-policy-config.jsonfile according to the following example:{ "default": [ ], "transports": { "docker": { "<container_registry_url>/<username>/busybox:latest": 1 [ { "type": "sigstoreSigned", "keyPath": "kbs:///default/img-sig/pub-key" 2 } ] } } }Create the security policy by running the following command:
$ oc create secret generic <security-policy-name> \ --from-file=<osc-key>=./<security-policy-config.json> \ -n trustee-operator-system
The
<security-policy-name>secret is specified in thespec.kbsSecretResourceskey of theKbsConfigcustom resource.
4.12. Creating the resource policy config map
You configure the resource policy config map for the policy engine. This policy determines which resources are accessible to Red Hat build of Trustee.
This policy engine is different from the Attestation Service policy engine, which determines the validity of TEE evidence.
Procedure
Create a
resourcepolicy-configmap.yamlmanifest file:apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: resource-policy namespace: trustee-operator-system data: policy.rego: | package policy default allow = true allow { input["tee"] == "se" }- policy.rego
-
The name of the resource policy,
policy.rego, must match the resource policy defined in thekbs-configconfig map. - package policy
- The resource policy follows the Content from www.openpolicyagent.org is not included.Open Policy Agent specification.
Create the resource policy config map by running the following command:
$ oc create -f resourcepolicy-configmap.yaml
4.13. Creating the cluster route
You create a secure route with edge TLS termination for the cluster where you installed Red Hat build of Trustee.
External ingress traffic reaches the router pods as HTTPS and passes on to the pods running in the trustee-operator-system namespace as HTTP.
Procedure
Create an edge route by running the following command:
$ oc create route passthrough --service=kbs-service --port kbs-port \ -n trustee-operator-system
Set the
TRUSTEE_HOSTvariable by running the following command:$ TRUSTEE_HOST=$(oc get route -n trustee-operator-system kbs-service \ -o jsonpath={.spec.host})Verify the route by running the following command:
$ echo $TRUSTEE_HOST
Example output
kbs-service-trustee-operator-system.apps.memvjias.eastus.aroapp.io
4.14. Creating the authentication secret
You create the authentication secret for Red Hat build of Trustee.
Procedure
Create a private key by running the following command:
$ openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 > privateKey
Create a public key by running the following command:
$ openssl pkey -in privateKey -pubout -out publicKey
Create a secret by running the following command:
$ oc create secret generic kbs-auth-public-key \ --from-file=publicKey -n trustee-operator-system
Verify the secret by running the following command:
$ oc get secret -n trustee-operator-system
4.15. Creating the KbsConfig custom resource
Create the KbsConfig custom resource (CR) to launch Red Hat build of Trustee.
Procedure
Create a
kbsconfig-cr.yamlmanifest file:apiVersion: confidentialcontainers.org/v1alpha1 kind: KbsConfig metadata: labels: app.kubernetes.io/name: kbsconfig app.kubernetes.io/instance: kbsconfig app.kubernetes.io/part-of: trustee-operator app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: kustomize app.kubernetes.io/created-by: trustee-operator name: kbsconfig namespace: trustee-operator-system spec: kbsConfigMapName: kbs-config-cm kbsAuthSecretName: kbs-auth-public-key kbsDeploymentType: AllInOneDeployment kbsRvpsRefValuesConfigMapName: rvps-reference-values kbsSecretResources: - attestation-status - <security-policy-name> kbsResourcePolicyConfigMapName: resource-policy kbsHttpsKeySecretName: kbs-https-key kbsHttpsCertSecretName: kbs-https-certificate kbsAttestationCertSecretName: attestation-cert kbsAttestationKeySecretName: attestation-key ibmSEConfigSpec: certStorePvc: ibmse-pvc KbsEnvVars: SE_SKIP_CERTS_VERIFICATION: "false"-
kbsSecretResources: Specify thetypevalue of the container image signature verification secret if you created the secret, for example,img-sig. -
SE_SKIP_CERTS_VERIFICATION: Set to
trueonly for testing purposes.
-
Create the
KbsConfigCR by running the following command:$ oc create -f kbsconfig-cr.yaml
4.16. Verifying the configuration
You verify the Red Hat build of Trustee configuration by checking its pods and logs.
Procedure
Set the default project by running the following command:
$ oc project trustee-operator-system
Check the pods by running the following command:
$ oc get pods -n trustee-operator-system
Example output
