A Canonical Event Log Structure for IMA - Optimizing Attestation Information

Explore a presentation on the development of a Canonical Event Log structure for the Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) in Linux systems. Learn about the efforts to improve attestation information conveyance to verifiers, including cryptographic algorithm agility and sequence numbering. Discover how this new format optimizes storage and transmission through Event Log list truncation and de-duplication, while supporting existing IMA templates and firmware Event Logs. Gain insights into the prototype demonstration and its integration with an open source verifier. Delve into topics such as industrial control system security, hardware-rooted measurement, appraisal, and attestation for industrial embedded controllers. Examine the presentation's structure, covering introduction, attestation issues, TCG architecture, content types, workflow, proposal details, proof of concept, and implementation aspects.
