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 depends on MODULE_SIG || (IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG && MODULES)
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
28 Use an RSA key for module signing.
30 config MODULE_SIG_KEY_TYPE_ECDSA
34 Use an elliptic curve key (NIST P384) for module signing. Consider
35 using a strong hash like sha256 or sha384 for hashing modules.
37 Note: Remove all ECDSA signing keys, e.g. certs/signing_key.pem,
38 when falling back to building Linux 5.14 and older kernels.
42 config SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
43 bool "Provide system-wide ring of trusted keys"
45 depends on ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE
46 depends on X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER = y
48 Provide a system keyring to which trusted keys can be added. Keys in
49 the keyring are considered to be trusted. Keys may be added at will
50 by the kernel from compiled-in data and from hardware key stores, but
51 userspace may only add extra keys if those keys can be verified by
52 keys already in the keyring.
54 Keys in this keyring are used by module signature checking.
56 config SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS
57 string "Additional X.509 keys for default system keyring"
58 depends on SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
60 If set, this option should be the filename of a PEM-formatted file
61 containing trusted X.509 certificates to be included in the default
62 system keyring. Any certificate used for module signing is implicitly
65 NOTE: If you previously provided keys for the system keyring in the
66 form of DER-encoded *.x509 files in the top-level build directory,
67 those are no longer used. You will need to set this option instead.
69 config SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE
70 bool "Reserve area for inserting a certificate without recompiling"
71 depends on SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
73 If set, space for an extra certificate will be reserved in the kernel
74 image. This allows introducing a trusted certificate to the default
75 system keyring without recompiling the kernel.
77 config SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE_SIZE
78 int "Number of bytes to reserve for the extra certificate"
79 depends on SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE
82 This is the number of bytes reserved in the kernel image for a
83 certificate to be inserted.
85 config SECONDARY_TRUSTED_KEYRING
86 bool "Provide a keyring to which extra trustable keys may be added"
87 depends on SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
89 If set, provide a keyring to which extra keys may be added, provided
90 those keys are not blacklisted and are vouched for by a key built
91 into the kernel or already in the secondary trusted keyring.
93 config SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
94 bool "Provide system-wide ring of blacklisted keys"
97 Provide a system keyring to which blacklisted keys can be added.
98 Keys in the keyring are considered entirely untrusted. Keys in this
99 keyring are used by the module signature checking to reject loading
100 of modules signed with a blacklisted key.
102 config SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST
103 string "Hashes to be preloaded into the system blacklist keyring"
104 depends on SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
106 If set, this option should be the filename of a list of hashes in the
107 form "<hash>", "<hash>", ... . This will be included into a C
108 wrapper to incorporate the list into the kernel. Each <hash> must be a
109 string starting with a prefix ("tbs" or "bin"), then a colon (":"), and
110 finally an even number of hexadecimal lowercase characters (up to 128).
111 Certificate hashes can be generated with
112 tools/certs/print-cert-tbs-hash.sh .
114 config SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST
115 bool "Provide system-wide ring of revocation certificates"
116 depends on SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
117 depends on PKCS7_MESSAGE_PARSER=y
119 If set, this allows revocation certificates to be stored in the
120 blacklist keyring and implements a hook whereby a PKCS#7 message can
121 be checked to see if it matches such a certificate.
123 config SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS
124 string "X.509 certificates to be preloaded into the system blacklist keyring"
125 depends on SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST
127 If set, this option should be the filename of a PEM-formatted file
128 containing X.509 certificates to be included in the default blacklist
131 config SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_AUTH_UPDATE
132 bool "Allow root to add signed blacklist keys"
133 depends on SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
134 depends on SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION
136 If set, provide the ability to load new blacklist keys at run time if
137 they are signed and vouched by a certificate from the builtin trusted
138 keyring. The PKCS#7 signature of the description is set in the key
139 payload. Blacklist keys cannot be removed.
