    ima: support fs-verity file digest based version 3 signatures · 398c42e2
    Mimi Zohar authored
    IMA may verify a file's integrity against a "good" value stored in the
    'security.ima' xattr or as an appended signature, based on policy.  When
    the "good value" is stored in the xattr, the xattr may contain a file
    hash or signature.  In either case, the "good" value is preceded by a
    header.  The first byte of the xattr header indicates the type of data
    - hash, signature - stored in the xattr.  To support storing fs-verity
    signatures in the 'security.ima' xattr requires further differentiating
    the fs-verity signature from the existing IMA signature.
    
    In addition the signatures stored in 'security.ima' xattr, need to be
    disambiguated.  Instead of directly signing the fs-verity digest, a new
    signature format version 3 is defined as the hash of the ima_file_id
    structure, which identifies the type of signature and the digest.
    
    The IMA policy defines "which" files are to be measured, verified, and/or
    audited.  For those files being verified, the policy rules indicate "how"
    the file should be verified.  For example to require a file be signed,
    the appraise policy rule must include the 'appraise_type' option.
    
    	appraise_type:= [imasig] | [imasig|modsig] | [sigv3]
               where 'imasig' is the original or signature format v2 (default),
               where 'modsig' is an appended signature,
               where 'sigv3' is the signature format v3.
    
    The policy rule must also indicate the type of digest, if not the IMA
    default, by first specifying the digest type:
    
    	digest_type:= [verity]
    
    The following policy rule requires fsverity signatures.  The rule may be
    constrained, for example based on a fsuuid or LSM label.
