| 15 | The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity |
| 16 | Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash |
| 17 | values of executables and other sensitive system files, |
| 18 | as they are read or executed. If an attacker manages |
| 19 | to change the contents of an important system file |
| 20 | being measured, we can tell. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | If your system has a TPM chip, then IMA also maintains |
| 23 | an aggregate integrity value over this list inside the |
| 24 | TPM hardware, so that the TPM can prove to a third party |
| 25 | whether or not critical system files have been modified. |
| 26 | Read <http://www.usenix.org/events/sec04/tech/sailer.html> |
| 27 | to learn more about IMA. |

| 45 | This option adds a kernel parameter 'ima_audit', which |
| 46 | allows informational auditing messages to be enabled |
| 47 | at boot. If this option is selected, informational integrity |
| 48 | auditing messages can be enabled with 'ima_audit=1' on |
| 49 | the kernel command line. |
