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
47 Provide a system keyring to which trusted keys can be added. Keys in
48 the keyring are considered to be trusted. Keys may be added at will
49 by the kernel from compiled-in data and from hardware key stores, but
50 userspace may only add extra keys if those keys can be verified by
51 keys already in the keyring.
53 Keys in this keyring are used by module signature checking.
55 config SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS
56 string "Additional X.509 keys for default system keyring"
57 depends on SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
59 If set, this option should be the filename of a PEM-formatted file
60 containing trusted X.509 certificates to be included in the default
61 system keyring. Any certificate used for module signing is implicitly
64 NOTE: If you previously provided keys for the system keyring in the
65 form of DER-encoded *.x509 files in the top-level build directory,
66 those are no longer used. You will need to set this option instead.
68 config SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE
69 bool "Reserve area for inserting a certificate without recompiling"
70 depends on SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
72 If set, space for an extra certificate will be reserved in the kernel
73 image. This allows introducing a trusted certificate to the default
74 system keyring without recompiling the kernel.
76 config SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE_SIZE
77 int "Number of bytes to reserve for the extra certificate"
78 depends on SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE
81 This is the number of bytes reserved in the kernel image for a
82 certificate to be inserted.
84 config SECONDARY_TRUSTED_KEYRING
85 bool "Provide a keyring to which extra trustable keys may be added"
86 depends on SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING
88 If set, provide a keyring to which extra keys may be added, provided
89 those keys are not blacklisted and are vouched for by a key built
90 into the kernel or already in the secondary trusted keyring.
92 config SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
93 bool "Provide system-wide ring of blacklisted keys"
96 Provide a system keyring to which blacklisted keys can be added.
97 Keys in the keyring are considered entirely untrusted. Keys in this
98 keyring are used by the module signature checking to reject loading
99 of modules signed with a blacklisted key.
101 config SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST
102 string "Hashes to be preloaded into the system blacklist keyring"
103 depends on SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
105 If set, this option should be the filename of a list of hashes in the
106 form "<hash>", "<hash>", ... . This will be included into a C
107 wrapper to incorporate the list into the kernel. Each <hash> must be a
108 string starting with a prefix ("tbs" or "bin"), then a colon (":"), and
109 finally an even number of hexadecimal lowercase characters (up to 128).
110 Certificate hashes can be generated with
111 tools/certs/print-cert-tbs-hash.sh .
113 config SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST
114 bool "Provide system-wide ring of revocation certificates"
115 depends on SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
116 depends on PKCS7_MESSAGE_PARSER=y
118 If set, this allows revocation certificates to be stored in the
119 blacklist keyring and implements a hook whereby a PKCS#7 message can
120 be checked to see if it matches such a certificate.
122 config SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS
123 string "X.509 certificates to be preloaded into the system blacklist keyring"
124 depends on SYSTEM_REVOCATION_LIST
126 If set, this option should be the filename of a PEM-formatted file
127 containing X.509 certificates to be included in the default blacklist
130 config SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_AUTH_UPDATE
131 bool "Allow root to add signed blacklist keys"
132 depends on SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_KEYRING
133 depends on SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION
135 If set, provide the ability to load new blacklist keys at run time if
136 they are signed and vouched by a certificate from the builtin trusted
137 keyring. The PKCS#7 signature of the description is set in the key
138 payload. Blacklist keys cannot be removed.
