From 3323eec921efd815178a23107ab63588c605c0b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mimi Zohar Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 09:06:58 -0500 Subject: integrity: IMA as an integrity service provider IMA provides hardware (TPM) based measurement and attestation for file measurements. As the Trusted Computing (TPM) model requires, IMA measures all files before they are accessed in any way (on the integrity_bprm_check, integrity_path_check and integrity_file_mmap hooks), and commits the measurements to the TPM. Once added to the TPM, measurements can not be removed. In addition, IMA maintains a list of these file measurements, which can be used to validate the aggregate value stored in the TPM. The TPM can sign these measurements, and thus the system can prove, to itself and to a third party, the system's integrity in a way that cannot be circumvented by malicious or compromised software. - alloc ima_template_entry before calling ima_store_template() - log ima_add_boot_aggregate() failure - removed unused IMA_TEMPLATE_NAME_LEN - replaced hard coded string length with #define name Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: James Morris --- security/Kconfig | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'security/Kconfig') diff --git a/security/Kconfig b/security/Kconfig index d9f47ce7e20..a79b23f73d0 100644 --- a/security/Kconfig +++ b/security/Kconfig @@ -55,7 +55,8 @@ config SECURITYFS bool "Enable the securityfs filesystem" help This will build the securityfs filesystem.
