5 string "File name or PKCS#11 URI of module signing key"
6 default "certs/signing_key.pem"
7 depends on MODULE_SIG || (IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG && MODULES)
9 Provide the file name of a private key/certificate in PEM format,
10 or a PKCS#11 URI according to RFC7512. The file should contain, or
11 the URI should identify, both the certificate and its corresponding
14 If this option is unchanged from its default "certs/signing_key.pem",
15 then the kernel will automatically generate the private key and
16 certificate as described in Documentation/admin-guide/module-signing.rst
19 prompt "Type of module signing key to be generated"
20 default MODULE_SIG_KEY_TYPE_RSA
22 The type of module signing key type to generate. This option
23 does not apply if a #PKCS11 URI is used.
25 config MODULE_SIG_KEY_TYPE_RSA
27 depends on MODULE_SIG || (IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG && MODULES)
29 Use an RSA key for module signing.
31 config MODULE_SIG_KEY_TYPE_ECDSA
34 depends on MODULE_SIG || (IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG && MODULES)
36 Use an elliptic curve key (NIST P384) for module signing. Consider
37 using a strong hash like sha256 or sha384 for hashing modules.
39 Note: Remove all ECDSA signing keys, e.g. certs/signing_key.pem,
40 when falling back to building Linux 5.14 and older kernels.
44 config SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
45 bool "Provide system-wide ring of trusted keys"
47 depends on ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE
49 Provide a system keyring to which trusted keys can be added. Keys in
50 the keyring are considered to be trusted. Keys may be added at will
51 by the kernel from compiled-in data and from hardware key stores, but
52 userspace may only add extra keys if those keys can be verified by
53 keys already in the keyring.
55 Keys in this keyring are used by module signature checking.
57 config SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS
58 string "Additional X.509 keys for default system keyring"
59 depends on SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
61 If set, this option should be the filename of a PEM-formatted file
62 containing trusted X.509 certificates to be included in the default
63 system keyring. Any certificate used for module signing is implicitly
66 NOTE: If you previously provided keys for the system keyring in the
67 form of DER-encoded *.x509 files in the top-level build directory,
68 those are no longer used. You will need to set this option instead.
70 config SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE
71 bool "Reserve area for inserting a certificate without recompiling"
72 depends on SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
74 If set, space for an extra certificate will be reserved in the kernel
75 image. This allows introducing a trusted certificate to the default
76 system keyring without recompiling the kernel.
78 config SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE_SIZE
79 int "Number of bytes to reserve for the extra certificate"
80 depends on SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE
83 This is the number of bytes reserved in the kernel image for a
84 certificate to be inserted.
86 config SECONDARY_TRUSTED_KEYRING
87 bool "Provide a keyring to which extra trustable keys may be added"
88 depends on SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
90 If set, provide a keyring to which extra keys may be added, provided
91 those keys are not blacklisted and are vouched for by a key built
92 into the kernel or already in the secondary trusted keyring.
94 config SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
95 bool "Provide system-wide ring of blacklisted keys"
98 Provide a system keyring to which blacklisted keys can be added.
99 Keys in the keyring are considered entirely untrusted. Keys in this
100 keyring are used by the module signature checking to reject loading
101 of modules signed with a blacklisted key.
103 config SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST
104 string "Hashes to be preloaded into the system blacklist keyring"
105 depends on SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
107 If set, this option should be the filename of a list of hashes in the
108 form "<hash>", "<hash>", ... . This will be included into a C
109 wrapper to incorporate the list into the kernel. Each <hash> should
110 be a string of hex digits.
112 config SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST
113 bool "Provide system-wide ring of revocation certificates"
114 depends on SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
115 depends on PKCS7_MESSAGE_PARSER=y
117 If set, this allows revocation certificates to be stored in the
118 blacklist keyring and implements a hook whereby a PKCS#7 message can
119 be checked to see if it matches such a certificate.
121 config SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS
122 string "X.509 certificates to be preloaded into the system blacklist keyring"
123 depends on SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST
125 If set, this option should be the filename of a PEM-formatted file
126 containing X.509 certificates to be included in the default blacklist
