Meanwhile, I built openSUSE Tumbleweed packages with both those patch sets (with few changes) and the PGP one (with the parser in kernel space). I also published the first preliminary version of digest-cache-tools which contains the tools to manage the digest_cache LSM. https://github.com/linux-integrity/digest-cache-tools The README should give a pretty good idea on how to configure the digest_cache LSM correctly, to do IMA measurement (with predictable PCR) and IMA appraisal. That basically requires to install only the kernel and the digest- cache-tools packages (plus dracut, to enable IMA measurement/appraisal from the initial ram disk). Other than that, openSUSE Tumbleweed with these three packages (and no other modifications, even in the build infrastructure) is basically offering the integrity features that IMA supports.

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com> Introduce the digest_cache LSM, whose purpose is to deliver reference digest values to integrity providers, such as IMA and IPE, abstracting to them how those digests where extracted from the respective data source. The major benefit is the ability to use the vaste amount of digests already provided (and likely signed) by software vendors, without needing them to adapt their format to the one understood by the integrity provider. IMA and IPE can immediately interface with the digest_cache LSM and query the digest of an accessed file. If the digest is found, it means that the file is coming from the software vendor and not modified. If not, the file might have been corrupted. Each integrity provider decides how to handle this situation. The second major benefit is performance improvement. Since the digest_cache LSM has the ability to extract many digests from a single data source, it means that it has less signatures to verify compared to the approach of verifying individual file signatures (IMA appraisal). Preliminary tests have shown a speedup of IMA appraisal of about 65% for sequential read, and 45% for parallel read. This patch set has as prerequisites the file_release LSM hook (to be introduced with the move of IMA/EVM to the LSM infrastructure), and support for PGP keys, which is still unclear how it should be done. The IMA integration patch set will be introduced separately. Also a PoC based on the current version of IPE can be provided. v2: - Include the TLV parser in this patch set (from user asymmetric keys and signatures) - Move from IMA and make an independent LSM - Remove IMA-specific stuff from this patch set - Add per algorithm hash table - Expect all digest lists to be in the same directory and allow changing the default directory - Support digest lookup on directories, when there is no security.digest_list xattr -
