Greetings,
We are struggling to implement device binding according to your documentation. We are generation a nonce value in backend like this:
public static String generateNonce(int byteLength) {
byte[] randomBytes = new byte[byteLength];
new SecureRandom().nextBytes(randomBytes);
return Base64.getUrlEncoder().withoutPadding().encodeToString(randomBytes);
}
And our mobile client implement the attestation flow like this:
@implementation AppAttestModule
- (NSData *)sha256FromString:(NSString *)input {
const char *str = [input UTF8String];
unsigned char result[CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH];
CC_SHA256(str, (CC_LONG)strlen(str), result);
return [NSData dataWithBytes:result length:CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH];
}
RCT_EXPORT_MODULE();
RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(generateAttestation:(NSString *)nonce
resolver:(RCTPromiseResolveBlock)resolve
rejecter:(RCTPromiseRejectBlock)reject)
{
if (@available(iOS 14.0, *)) {
DCAppAttestService *service = [DCAppAttestService sharedService];
if (![service isSupported]) {
reject(@"not_supported", @"App Attest is not supported on this device.", nil);
return;
}
NSData *nonceData = [self sha256FromString:nonce];
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *savedKeyId = [defaults stringForKey:@"AppAttestKeyId"];
NSString *savedAttestation = [defaults stringForKey:@"AppAttestAttestationData"];
void (^resolveWithValues)(NSString *keyId, NSData *assertion, NSString *attestationB64) = ^(NSString *keyId, NSData *assertion, NSString *attestationB64) {
NSString *assertionB64 = [assertion base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0];
resolve(@{
@"nonce": nonce,
@"signature": assertionB64,
@"deviceType": @"IOS",
@"attestationData": attestationB64 ?: @"",
@"keyId": keyId
});
};
void (^handleAssertion)(NSString *keyId, NSString *attestationB64) = ^(NSString *keyId, NSString *attestationB64) {
[service generateAssertion:keyId clientDataHash:nonceData completionHandler:^(NSData *assertion, NSError *assertError) {
if (!assertion) {
reject(@"assertion_error", @"Failed to generate assertion", assertError);
return;
}
resolveWithValues(keyId, assertion, attestationB64);
}];
};
if (savedKeyId && savedAttestation) {
handleAssertion(savedKeyId, savedAttestation);
} else {
[service generateKeyWithCompletionHandler:^(NSString *keyId, NSError *keyError) {
if (!keyId) {
reject(@"keygen_error", @"Failed to generate key", keyError);
return;
}
[service attestKey:keyId clientDataHash:nonceData completionHandler:^(NSData *attestation, NSError *attestError) {
if (!attestation) {
reject(@"attestation_error", @"Failed to generate attestation", attestError);
return;
}
NSString *attestationB64 = [attestation base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0];
[defaults setObject:keyId forKey:@"AppAttestKeyId"];
[defaults setObject:attestationB64 forKey:@"AppAttestAttestationData"];
[defaults synchronize];
handleAssertion(keyId, attestationB64);
}];
}];
}
} else {
reject(@"ios_version", @"App Attest requires iOS 14+", nil);
}
}
@end
For validation we are extracting the nonce from the certificate like this:
private static byte[] extractNonceFromAttestationCert(X509Certificate certificate) throws IOException {
byte[] extensionValue = certificate.getExtensionValue("1.2.840.113635.100.8.2");
if (Objects.isNull(extensionValue)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Apple App Attest nonce extension not found in certificate.");
}
ASN1Primitive extensionPrimitive = ASN1Primitive.fromByteArray(extensionValue);
ASN1OctetString outerOctet = ASN1OctetString.getInstance(extensionPrimitive);
ASN1Sequence sequence = (ASN1Sequence) ASN1Primitive.fromByteArray(outerOctet.getOctets());
ASN1TaggedObject taggedObject = (ASN1TaggedObject) sequence.getObjectAt(0);
ASN1OctetString nonceOctet = ASN1OctetString.getInstance(taggedObject.getObject());
return nonceOctet.getOctets();
}
And for the verification we are using this method:
private OptionalMethodResult<Void> verifyNonce(X509Certificate certificate, String expectedNonce, byte[] authData) {
byte[] expectedNonceHash;
try {
byte[] nonceBytes = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256").digest(expectedNonce.getBytes());
byte[] combined = ByteBuffer.allocate(authData.length + nonceBytes.length).put(authData).put(nonceBytes).array();
expectedNonceHash = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256").digest(combined);
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
log.error("Error while validations iOS attestation: {}", e.getMessage(), e);
return OptionalMethodResult.ofError(deviceBindError.getChallengeNotMatchedError());
}
byte[] actualNonceFromCert;
try {
actualNonceFromCert = extractNonceFromAttestationCert(certificate);
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("Error while extracting nonce from certificate: {}", e.getMessage(), e);
return OptionalMethodResult.ofError(deviceBindError.getChallengeNotMatchedError());
}
if (!Arrays.equals(expectedNonceHash, actualNonceFromCert)) {
return OptionalMethodResult.ofError(deviceBindError.getChallengeNotMatchedError());
}
return OptionalMethodResult.empty();
}
But the values did not matched. What are we doing wrong here?
Thanks.
