If an attacker manages 18 to change the contents of an important system file 19 being measured, we can tell. 20 21 If your system has a TPM chip, then IMA also maintains 22 an aggregate integrity value over this list inside the 23 TPM hardware, so that the TPM can prove to a third party 24 whether or not critical system files have been modified. 25 Read <http://www.usenix.org/events/sec04/tech/sailer.html> 26 to learn more about IMA. 27 If unsure, say N. 28 29config IMA_MEASURE_PCR_IDX 30 int 31 depends on IMA 32 range 8 14 33 default 10 34 help 35 IMA_MEASURE_PCR_IDX determines the TPM PCR register index 36 that IMA uses to maintain the integrity aggregate of the 37 measurement list.
