feat(desktop): Tauri v2 kiosk shell — maximized window, prod right-click block, auto-update + code-signing
Add apps/desktop, a thin Tauri v2 shell wrapping the SAME @parking/web SPA so the desktop and browser UIs never drift: dev loads the Vite dev server (HMR), prod bundles the web app's dist/. No business logic in the shell (device/auth/ ledger stay in @parking/server); deny-by-default capabilities. apps/web (single UI source of truth): - lib/origin.ts: centralize the backend origin (API_BASE/apiUrl/wsUrl from VITE_API_BASE); no-op in the browser, lets the desktop build target Fastify. - lib/kiosk.ts: block the right-click context menu in PROD only (dev keeps it + devtools). - lib/desktop-updater.ts: prompt-on-update auto-update (no-op in browser/offline) → downloadAndInstall + relaunch; i18n update.* keys (sq+en). - .env.production: VITE_API_BASE wired to the Fastify origin for the bundle. Desktop: - window starts maximized (not fullscreen — operator keeps OS access). - auto-update via tauri-plugin-updater + -process; self-hosted endpoint is a PLACEHOLDER to fill in. Updater keypair: pubkey embedded in tauri.conf.json; private key + password kept OUTSIDE the repo (~/.parking-updater-keys) and as TAURI_SIGNING_* build secrets. - Turbo build is a no-op; the real signed bundle is `pnpm --filter @parking/desktop bundle` (verified → .deb/.rpm/.AppImage + .sig signatures). Verified: cargo check clean; turbo run build lint 14/14 green; i18n parity holds; no key/sig/bundle artifacts in the repo. Wiki (security + desktop analysis recorded alongside): - new concepts/tpm.md (TPM 2.0: how it works, sealed-LUKS auto-unlock + non- extractable signing key, limits — live-root, bus-sniff — TPM-vs-ATECC608 by platform). - new decisions/desktop-shell-tauri.md (Tauri v2 over Electron; best-case Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, worst-case Windows+WSL → kiosk browser; full as-built). - pull-the-disk attack trace on append-only-event-chain; ATECC608 not-in-a-PC caveat; cross-links from disk-os-hardening / threat-model. - open-questions #11 (appliance WebKitGTK), #12 (TPM hardening impl), #13 (startup verifyChain self-check); index/overview/log/standing-decisions.

# TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module)
|
||||
|
||||
A small crypto chip on the host that provides two host-hardening primitives. Useful **defence-in-
|
||||
depth** for the appliance, but — like all secure elements — it defends the **secondary**
|
||||
([[threat-model|outsider-with-the-box]]) threat, **never** the operator-at-the-booth, and is **not**
|
||||
a substitute for the system's real anti-fraud control ([[reconciliation]] over the
|
||||
[[append-only-event-chain|signed chain]]). _(Analysis recorded 2026-06-21; implementation pending —
|
||||
see [[open-questions]] #12.)_
|
||||
|
||||
> ⚠ **Naming:** it's **TPM** (Trusted Platform Module), often miswritten "TMP".
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works — two primitives
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Non-extractable keys.** A key generated *inside* the TPM never leaves it. No command at any
|
||||
privilege level reads out the private key; you can only ask the TPM to *use* it (sign/decrypt).
|
||||
So the key isn't a file an attacker can copy — the same property the [[atecc608]] gives, but with
|
||||
hardware most PCs already have.
|
||||
2. **Boot measurement + sealing (PCRs).** Each boot stage hashes the next (firmware → bootloader →
|
||||
kernel) into tamper-evident registers (**PCRs**). A secret can be **sealed** so the TPM only
|
||||
releases/uses it when the PCRs match a known-good boot state — tamper the boot chain → PCRs change
|
||||
→ the TPM refuses.
|
||||
|
||||
## What it buys this appliance
|
||||
|
||||
- **Sealed-LUKS auto-unlock for unattended reboot.** The headline win. LUKS ([[disk-os-hardening]])
|
||||
normally needs a human to type a passphrase at boot; a parking booth must reboot itself after a
|
||||
power cut. `systemd-cryptenroll --tpm2-device` seals the LUKS key to the TPM + boot-chain PCRs, so
|
||||
the disk auto-unlocks **only** on an untampered boot. This is what makes "encrypted disk" and
|
||||
"unattended appliance" compatible.
|
||||
- **Defeats the offline disk-tamper / re-sign attack.** If the host event-signing key lives in the
|
||||
TPM (non-extractable), then pulling the SSD yields the *data* but **not** the signing key — so an
|
||||
attacker cannot edit a row and re-sign the chain. `verifyChain()` then catches every edit. (With a
|
||||
*software* signer the key sits in `.env` on the disk, so disk theft = key theft = forgeable; see
|
||||
[[append-only-event-chain]] "Signer abstraction".) Sealed-LUKS goes further: the disk won't even
|
||||
**mount** off-host, blocking the read step entirely.
|
||||
- **Boot tamper-evidence** complementing the already-decided Secure Boot + GRUB password
|
||||
([[disk-os-hardening]]).
|
||||
|
||||
## What it does NOT protect against (be honest about the limits)
|
||||
|
||||
- **A rooted *running* host.** The TPM stops key *theft*, not key *use*. An attacker with admin/root
|
||||
on the live appliance can still ask the TPM to sign — the chip signs for whoever the running OS
|
||||
authorizes. So a TPM does **not** make a compromised host trustworthy. (A per-op TPM auth PIN/policy
|
||||
raises this bar but a determined root can often capture it.) This is exactly why the load-bearing
|
||||
control stays [[reconciliation]] against an **external** authority that assumes the box may lie.
|
||||
- **Determined physical + BIOS access with tools.** Documented attacks exist:
|
||||
- **Bus sniffing** — a *discrete* TPM talks to the CPU over an external LPC/SPI bus; researchers
|
||||
have physically tapped it and captured secrets *as they're released* (e.g. the LUKS/BitLocker key
|
||||
in transit) on PCR-only-sealed systems. A **firmware TPM (fTPM)** inside the CPU has no external
|
||||
bus to sniff (but has had its own firmware bugs).
|
||||
- **TPM 1.2 is broken** (SHA-1) — require **2.0** only.
|
||||
- Vendor-specific firmware/reset/replay vulns have surfaced over the years.
|
||||
- **The operator (primary threat).** While the app runs, the DB is decrypted in memory and the
|
||||
operator acts *through* the authenticated app — encryption/sealing is irrelevant to "take the cash,
|
||||
void the record" ([[threat-model]]).
|
||||
- **Windows caveat.** On Windows the TPM serves BitLocker/Hello, not our Linux app; a Windows-admin
|
||||
attacker inherits Windows' long history of BitLocker-TPM bypasses. Another reason the Windows + WSL
|
||||
fallback ([[desktop-shell-tauri]]) is the weak deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Verdict & guidance
|
||||
|
||||
- **Recommended (not required)** on the **Ubuntu 26.04 LTS appliance** ([[desktop-shell-tauri|best
|
||||
case]]): use it for **sealed-LUKS auto-unlock + a non-extractable host event-signing key**. It is a
|
||||
**cost-raiser and theft-defeater, not an absolute vault.**
|
||||
- **Prefer a firmware TPM (fTPM)** (Intel PTT / AMD fTPM — no external bus to sniff) and add a
|
||||
**PIN/auth policy**, rather than PCR-only sealing.
|
||||
- **Operational hazard:** sealing to boot-chain PCRs means a *legitimate* kernel / GRUB / BIOS update
|
||||
also changes the PCRs and **locks you out** until re-sealed. Keep a **LUKS recovery passphrase** and
|
||||
a **re-seal-on-update runbook** — mandatory, and a reason this stays "enhancement," not "baseline".
|
||||
- **It complements, never replaces,** the [[append-only-event-chain|signed chain]] +
|
||||
[[reconciliation]].
|
||||
|
||||
## TPM vs. ATECC608 — which secure element for the signing key
|
||||
|
||||
Both can hold the non-extractable host event-signing key. Pick by platform:
|
||||
|
||||
| | **TPM 2.0** | **[[atecc608]]** |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| In a typical PC? | **Often yes** (discrete or fTPM) | **No** — an external I²C part you add/solder |
|
||||
| Standard / integration | TCG standard, OS-integrated | Microchip part, app-integrated over I²C |
|
||||
| Best fit here | **PC-based host appliance** (use what's there) | **Embedded / [[esp32-custom-controller|ESP32]]** controller |
|
||||
| Tangled with the whole OS attack surface? | Yes (general-purpose) | Less so (single-purpose chip) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Implication (refines the prior framing):** the wiki/[[bom]] treated the ATECC608 as *the* host
|
||||
signing root, but for the **Ubuntu-PC appliance the TPM is the realistic host secure-element** (no
|
||||
extra part to source), with the **ATECC608 reserved for the embedded controller** where there's no
|
||||
TPM. Either delivers the tamper-*proof* property; see [[open-questions]] #6 (host secure-element by
|
||||
platform) and #12 (TPM hardening implementation).
