This option enables fs-verity. fs-verity is the dm-verity
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism implemented at the file level. On supported
|
|
|
|
|
filesystems (currently EXT4 and F2FS), userspace can use an
|
|
|
|
|
ioctl to enable verity for a file, which causes the filesystem
|
|
|
|
|
to build a Merkle tree for the file. The filesystem will then
|
|
|
|
|
transparently verify any data read from the file against the
|
|
|
|
|
Merkle tree. The file is also made read-only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This serves as an integrity check, but the availability of the
|
|
|
|
|
Merkle tree root hash also allows efficiently supporting
|
|
|
|
|
various use cases where normally the whole file would need to
|
|
|
|
|
be hashed at once, such as: (a) auditing (logging the file's
|
|
|
|
|
hash), or (b) authenticity verification (comparing the hash
|
|
|
|
|
against a known good value, e.g. from a digital signature).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fs-verity is especially useful on large files where not all
|
|
|
|
|
the contents may actually be needed. Also, fs-verity verifies
|
|
|
|
|
data each time it is paged back in, which provides better
|
|
|
|
|
protection against malicious disks vs. an ahead-of-time hash.

This is meant as a relatively simple mechanism that can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to provide an authenticity guarantee for verity files, as
|
|
|
|
|
an alternative to IMA appraisal. Userspace programs still
|
|
|
|
|
need to check that the verity bit is set in order to get an
|
|
|
|
|
authenticity guarantee.
