Subject: [PATCH 3/3] integrity: Add support for sigv3 verification using ML-DSA keys
Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2026 19:12:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260405231224.4008298-4-stefanb@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260405231224.4008298-1-stefanb@linux.ibm.com>
Add support for sigv3 signature verification using ML-DSA in pure mode.
When a sigv3 signature is verified, first check whether the key to use
for verification is an ML-DSA key and therefore uses a hashless signature
verification scheme. The hashless signature verification method uses the
ima_file_id structure directly for signature verification rather than
its digest.
