| The Trusted Computing Group(TCG) runtime Integrity |
| Measurement Architecture(IMA) maintains a list of hash |
| values of executables and other sensitive system files, |
| as they are read or executed. If an attacker manages |
| to change the contents of an important system file |
| being measured, we can tell. |
| |
| If your system has a TPM chip, then IMA also maintains |
| an aggregate integrity value over this list inside the |
| TPM hardware, so that the TPM can prove to a third party |
| whether or not critical system files have been modified. |

| This option enables local measurement integrity appraisal. |
| It requires the system to be labeled with a security extended |
| attribute containing the file hash measurement. To protect |
| the security extended attributes from offline attack, enable |
| and configure EVM. |
