[PATCH v2 0/6] ima: support fs-verity digests and signatures

From: Mimi Zohar
Date: Sun Jan 09 2022 - 13:55:37 EST


Support for including fs-verity file digests and signatures in the IMA
measurement list as well as verifying the fs-verity file digest based
signatures, all based on IMA policy rules, was discussed from the
beginning, prior to fs-verity being upstreamed[1,2].

Support including fs-verity file digests in the 'd-ng' template field
based on a new policy rule option named 'digest_type=hash|verity'.
Also support verifying fs-verity file digest based signatures based on
policy.

A new template field named 'd-type' as well as a new template named
'ima-ngv2' are defined to differentiate betweeen file hashes and fs-verity
file digests, when file signatures are not included in the IMA measurement
list.

Changelog v2:
- Addressed Eric Bigger's comments: sign the hash of fsverity's digest
and the digest's metadata, use match_string, use preferred function
name fsverity_get_digest(), support including unsigned fs-verity's
digests in the IMA measurement list.
- Remove signatures requirement for including fs-verity's file digests in
the 'd-ng' field of the measurement list.

Changelog v1:
- Updated both fsverity and IMA documentation.
- Addressed both Eric Bigger's and Lakshmi's comments.
