Subverting Linux' integrity measurement architecture
Felix Bohling, Tobias Mueller, Michael Eckel, Jens Lindemann · 2020
Integrity is a key protection objective in the context of system security. This holds for both hardware and software. Since hardware cannot be changed after its manufacturing process, the manufacturer must be trusted to build it properly. However, it is completely different with software. Users of a computer system are free to run arbitrary software on it and even modify BIOS/UEFI, bootloader, or Operating System (OS).
