--- ## What It Does
## 🧬 What is TEESimulator? TEESimulator intercepts Binder IPC at the `ioctl` level inside the `keystore2` process and generates entire certificate chains from scratch, signed by your keybox, with correct attestation extensions. Apps that verify hardware attestation see a legitimate device.
TEESimulator is a **complete software simulation** of Android's hardware-backed [Trusted Execution Environment](https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/trusty) for [Key Attestation](https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/security-key-attestation). Instead of patching certificates from the real TEE after the fact, TEESimulator intercepts Binder IPC at the `ioctl` level and generates entire certificate chains from scratch — signed by your keybox, with correct attestation extensions, indistinguishable from hardware-generated keys. This is not TrickyStore. TEESimulator replaces TrickyStore and its forks entirely. It shares the same config paths for drop-in compatibility, but the internals are different: native Rust cert generation, binder-level interception via `lsplt`, per-UID rate limiting, key persistence, and AOSP-spec attestation behavior.
The result: **apps that verify hardware attestation see a legitimate, unmodified device** — even on rooted hardware with an unlocked bootloader. ## Requirements
> **This is not TrickyStore.** TEESimulator replaces TrickyStore and its forks entirely. It shares the same config paths for drop-in compatibility, but the architecture is fundamentally different: native Rust certificate generation, binder-level interception via `lsplt`, per-UID rate limiting, key persistence, and a multi-layer defense against detector apps.
---
## 🔥 Why TEESimulator?
🔐 **Native Cert Generation** — v4.0 generates X.509 certificate chains in Rust with `ring` and manual DER encoding. No BouncyCastle overhead, no Java crypto quirks, byte-perfect issuer chain linkage.
🎯 **Binder-Level Interception** — Hooks `ioctl()` on `libc.so` via `lsplt` inside the `keystore2` process. Intercepts `generateKey`, `importKey`, and `getKeyEntry` transactions before the HAL ever sees them.
🛡️ **Detector Resistant** — Per-UID rate limiting blocks DuckDetector-style keygen flooding. Oversized challenges rejected with real KeyMint error codes. Chain consistency verified byte-for-byte.
💾 **Key Persistence** — Generated keys survive reboots. Apps that store attestation keys (banking, biometrics) don't break after a restart.
🔧 **Drop-In Replacement** — Same config paths as TrickyStore (`/data/adb/tricky_store/`). Swap the module ZIP, keep your keybox and target list.

## ✨ Features
**Core Attestation Engine**
- [x] **Full certificate chain generation** — leaf + intermediates + root, signed by your keybox
- [x] **Native Rust certgen**`libcertgen.so` built with `ring`, `rsa`, and manual DER assembly
- [x] **BouncyCastle fallback** — unsupported curves (P-224, P-521, Curve25519) fall back to Java
- [x] **ASN.1 attestation extensions** — OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.2.1.17 with all AOSP-specified tags
- [x] **Multi-keybox support** — different keybox files per app group via `target.txt`
**Interception Layer**
- [x] **Binder ioctl hook**`lsplt` PLT hook on `libc.so` inside `keystore2` process
- [x] **generateKey / importKey / getKeyEntry** — all three transaction types intercepted
- [x] **256KB native payload cap** — oversized binder payloads bypass interception cleanly
- [x] **Challenge validation** — rejects >128-byte attestation challenges with `INVALID_INPUT_LENGTH`
**Hardening**
- [x] **Per-UID rate limiter** — 2 hardware keygens per 30s burst window, software fallback on overflow
- [x] **importKey eviction guard** — retained patch chains prevent generate-then-import cache attacks
- [x] **Key persistence** — file-backed storage with file-level locking, survives reboots and keybox rotations
- [x] **Global exception handler** — uncaught exceptions logged, daemon stays alive
**Configuration**
- [x] **Live config reload**`FileObserver` watches all config files, changes apply immediately
- [x] **Security patch spoofing** — per-package `system`, `vendor`, `boot` patch levels with dynamic templates
- [x] **Lifecycle scripts** — KSU Action button clears key cache, uninstall removes all traces

## 📋 Requirements
> [!IMPORTANT] > [!IMPORTANT]
> TEESimulator requires root access and a valid `keybox.xml` for hardware-level attestation results. Without a keybox, the module generates software-level certificates that won't pass strict hardware attestation checks. > A valid `keybox.xml` is required for hardware-level attestation. Without one, the module generates software-level certificates that won't pass strict hardware checks.
**You need:** 1. Android 10+
1. Android 10 or above 2. Root manager: KernelSU, Magisk, or APatch
2. A supported root manager (KernelSU, Magisk, or APatch) 3. `keybox.xml` at `/data/adb/tricky_store/keybox.xml`
3. A hardware-backed `keybox.xml` placed at `/data/adb/tricky_store/keybox.xml`
--- ## Quick Start
## 📱 Compatibility 1. Download the latest ZIP from [Releases](https://github.com/Enginex0/TEESimulator-RS/releases)
2. Install via your root manager and reboot
3. Place your keybox at `/data/adb/tricky_store/keybox.xml`
4. Configure targets in `/data/adb/tricky_store/target.txt`
5. Verify with Play Integrity or Key Attestation Demo
### Root Managers ## Architecture
| Manager | Status | Notes | **Native Cert Generation**`libcertgen.so` generates X.509 chains in Rust using `ring` and manual DER encoding. BouncyCastle fallback for unsupported curves (P-224, P-521, Curve25519).
|---|---|---|
| KernelSU | ✅ Tested | Full support including Action button and lifecycle scripts |
| Magisk | ✅ Supported | Standard module install |
| APatch | ✅ Supported | Standard module install |
### Tested Devices **Binder Interception** — PLT hook on `ioctl()` in `libc.so` via `lsplt` inside `keystore2`. Intercepts `generateKey`, `importKey`, and `getKeyEntry` transactions.
| Device | Android | TEE | Status | **AOSP Compliance** — Self-signed certs for non-attested keys (matching `ta/src/keys.rs`), correct AuthorizationList tag ordering, version-guarded extension fields, `authorize_create` enforcement.
|---|---|---|---|
| Redmi 14C (2409BRN2CA) | 14 (SDK 34) | Beanpod KeyMaster | ✅ Daily driver |
> Tested against DuckDetector, Luna, Play Integrity, and Key Attestation Demo. If you test on a different device, [open an issue](https://github.com/Enginex0/TEESimulator/issues) with your results. **Key Persistence** — Generated keys survive reboots. File-backed with file-level locking.
--- **Rate Limiting** — Per-UID hardware keygen cap (2/30s window, 2 concurrent). Overflow falls to software certs.
## 🚀 Quick Start ## Configuration
1. **Download** the latest release ZIP from [Releases](https://github.com/Enginex0/TEESimulator/releases) All config files live at `/data/adb/tricky_store/` and are hot-reloaded via `FileObserver`.
2. **Install** via your root manager (KSU / Magisk / APatch) and reboot
3. **Place your keybox** at `/data/adb/tricky_store/keybox.xml`
4. **Configure targets** in `/data/adb/tricky_store/target.txt`
5. **Verify** — check Play Integrity or run Key Attestation Demo
TEESimulator replaces TrickyStore, TrickyStoreOSS, and their forks. Existing config files are compatible. ### target.txt
--- Controls which apps get intercepted and the simulation mode.
## 🔨 Building from Source | Suffix | Mode |
|--------|------|
| `!` | Force software key generation |
| `?` | Force leaf certificate patching (real TEE key, patched cert) |
| *(none)* | Automatic selection |
The CI workflow builds on every push to `main`. You can also build locally or trigger a build from your own fork. Multi-keybox support via `[filename.xml]` headers:
**Prerequisites:** JDK 21, Android SDK/NDK 27, Rust stable with `aarch64-linux-android` target, `cargo-ndk`.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Enginex0/TEESimulator.git
cd TEESimulator
./gradlew zipRelease zipDebug
```
Output ZIPs land in `out/`. The Gradle build automatically invokes `cargo ndk` to cross-compile `libcertgen.so` before packaging.
To rebuild from a fork, push to `main` or use **Actions → Build → Run workflow**. The workflow installs all toolchains (Java, Rust, cargo-ndk, ccache) and uploads Release + Debug ZIPs as artifacts.
---
## ⚙️ Configuration
All configuration files live at `/data/adb/tricky_store/` and are monitored by `FileObserver` — changes take effect immediately without rebooting.
### The `keybox.xml` Root of Trust
This file provides the master cryptographic identity. It contains a private key and a hardware-backed certificate chain from a real device. TEESimulator signs all generated certificates with this key, making them appear legitimate to verifiers.
```xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AndroidAttestation>
<Keybox DeviceID="...">
<Key algorithm="ecdsa|rsa">
<PrivateKey format="pem">...</PrivateKey>
<CertificateChain>...</CertificateChain>
</Key>
</Keybox>
</AndroidAttestation>
```
### Target Packages (`target.txt`)
Controls which apps get intercepted and what simulation mode to use.
#### Mode Suffixes
* **`!` → Force Generation** — Creates a complete software-based virtual key. Full TEE simulation.
* **`?` → Force Leaf Hacking** — Real TEE key generated, but its attestation certificate is intercepted and patched.
* **No symbol → Automatic** — Module selects the best mode for your device.
#### Multi-Keybox
Specify different keybox files for different app groups. Apps listed after a `[filename.xml]` line use that keybox. Apps before any declaration use the default `keybox.xml`.
``` ```
# Default keybox
com.google.android.gms! com.google.android.gms!
io.github.vvb2060.keyattestation? io.github.vvb2060.keyattestation?
# Switch to a different keybox for the following apps
[aosp_keybox.xml] [aosp_keybox.xml]
com.google.android.gsf com.google.android.gsf
# Another keybox
[demo_keybox.xml]
org.matrix.demo
``` ```
### Security Patch Level (`security_patch.txt`) ### security_patch.txt
Configure the `osPatchLevel`, `vendorPatchLevel`, and `bootPatchLevel` reported in attestation certificates. This only affects attestation data — it does not change actual system properties. Override patch levels reported in attestation certificates. Global defaults at top, per-package overrides with `[package.name]`.
#### Global and Per-Package
Settings at the top of the file are global defaults. Add `[package.name]` to override for specific apps.
#### Keys
| Key | Scope | | Key | Scope |
|---|---| |-----|-------|
| `system` | OS patch level | | `system` | OS patch level |
| `vendor` | Vendor patch level | | `vendor` | Vendor patch level |
| `boot` | Boot/kernel patch level | | `boot` | Boot/kernel patch level |
| `all` | Shorthand — sets all three at once | | `all` | Sets all three |
#### Special Keywords Special values: `today`, `YYYY-MM-DD` templates, `no` (omit tag), `device_default`, `prop` (read from system property).
| Keyword | Effect |
|---|---|
| `today` | Current date, dynamically resolved on each attestation |
| `YYYY-MM-DD` templates | Semi-dynamic — `YYYY-MM-05` resolves to the 5th of the current month |
| `no` | Omit this patch level tag entirely from the attestation |
| `device_default` | Use the device's real hardware value |
| `prop` | Read from `ro.build.version.security_patch` (matches what detectors see via getprop) |
#### Example
``` ```
# Global — default for all apps
system=YYYY-MM-05 system=YYYY-MM-05
vendor=device_default vendor=device_default
boot=no boot=no
# Override for GMS
[com.google.android.gms] [com.google.android.gms]
system=2024-10-01 system=2025-10-01
# Custom config for a demo app
[org.matrix.demo]
all=2025-09-15
boot=device_default
``` ```
--- ## Building from Source

## TEESimulator-RS v6.0.0
Repository consolidation release. All tee-rebuild work merged as the new main branch.
### AOSP Self-Signed Cert Compliance
- No-challenge keys now generate self-signed certs (subject == issuer, depth 1), matching AOSP `ta/src/keys.rs:451-478`
- Both Kotlin (BouncyCastle) and Rust (native-certgen) paths corrected
- Eliminates attestation behavioral probes that detect keybox issuer on non-attested keys
### Stability
- Binder stress crash hardening for concurrent generateKey calls
- AUTO mode TEE race for consistent attestation on devices with working G10
- Oversized transactions routed to software gen instead of crashing
- Operation-time params (BLOCK_MODE, PADDING, DIGEST) passed through to CipherPrimitive
### Infrastructure
- Version scheme changed to semver (v6.0.0)
- Repository moved to TEESimulator-RS as canonical source
