The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity
|
|
Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash
|
|
values of executables and other sensitive system files,
|
|
as they are read or executed. If an attacker manages
|
|
to change the contents of an important system file
|
|
being measured, we can tell.
|
|
|
|
If your system has a TPM chip, then IMA also maintains
|
|
an aggregate integrity value over this list inside the
|
|
TPM hardware, so that the TPM can prove to a third party
|
|
whether or not critical system files have been modified.
|
|
Read <http://www.usenix.org/events/sec04/tech/sailer.html>
|
|
to learn more about IMA.

If unsure, say N.

IMA_MEASURE_PCR_IDX determines the TPM PCR register index

that IMA uses to maintain the integrity aggregate of the

This option adds a kernel parameter 'ima_audit', which
|
|
allows informational auditing messages to be enabled
|
|
at boot. If this option is selected, informational integrity
|
|
auditing messages can be enabled with 'ima_audit=1' on
|
|
the kernel command line.
