[PATCH v6 3/5] IMA: add support to restrict the hash algorithms used for file appraisal

THOBY Simon
2021-08-04T09:20:36Z

The kernel accepts any hash algorithm as a value for the security.ima
xattr. Users may wish to restrict the accepted algorithms to only
support strong cryptographic ones.

Provide the plumbing to restrict the permitted set of hash algorithms
used for verifying file hashes and digest algorithms stored in
security.ima xattr.

This do not apply only to IMA in hash mode, it also works with digital
signatures, where the hash from which the signature is derived (by
signing it with the trusted private key) must obey the same
restrictions.
