From ffb70f61bab1482a3bd0f85fd8f1e9c9909df2ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Kasatkin Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:56:58 +0300 Subject: KEYS: validate certificate trust only with selected key Instead of allowing public keys, with certificates signed by any key on the system trusted keyring, to be added to a trusted keyring, this patch further restricts the certificates to those signed by a particular key on the system keyring. This patch defines a new kernel parameter 'ca_keys' to identify the specific key which must be used for trust validation of certificates. Simplified Mimi's "KEYS: define an owner trusted keyring" patch. Changelog: - support for builtin x509 public keys only - export "asymmetric_keyid_match" - remove ifndefs MODULE - rename kernel boot parameter from keys_ownerid to ca_keys Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar --- Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) (limited to 'Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt') diff --git a/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt b/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt index 8b2ab548b6e4..bdb193afe176 100644 --- a/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt +++ b/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt @@ -566,6 +566,11 @@ bytes respectively.
