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. 28 If unsure, say N. 29 30config IMA_MEASURE_PCR_IDX 31 int 32 depends on IMA 33 range 8 14 34 default 10 35 help 36 IMA_MEASURE_PCR_IDX determines the TPM PCR register index 37 that IMA uses to maintain the integrity aggregate of the 38 measurement list.
