NAME¶
tb_polgen - manage tboot verified launch policy
SYNOPSIS¶
tb_polgen COMMAND [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION¶
tb_polgen is used to manage tboot verified launch policy.
COMMANDS¶
- --create
 - Create an empty tboot verified launch policy file.
 
- --type nonfatal | continue | halt
 - Nonfatal means ignoring all non-fatal errors and continuing. Continue means ignoring verification errors and halting otherwise. Halt means halting on any errors.
 - [--ctrl policy-control-value]
 - The default value 1 is to extend policy into PCR 17.
 - [--alg sha1 | sha256 | sha384 | sha512]
 - Policy hashing algorithm.
 - policy-file
 
- --add
 - Add a module hash entry into a policy file.
 
- --num module-number | any
 - The module-number is the 0-based module number corresponding to modules loaded by the bootloader.
 - --pcr TPM-PCR-number | none
 - The TPM-PCR-number is the PCR to extend the module's measurement into.
 - --hash any | image
 - [--cmdline command-line]
 - The command line is from grub.conf, and it should not include the module name (e.g. "/xen.gz").
 - [--image image-file-name]
 - policy-file
 
- --del
 - Delete a module hash entry from a policy file.
 
- --num module-number | any
 - The module-number is the 0-based module number corresponding to modules loaded by the bootloader.
 - [--pos hash-number]
 - The hash-number is the 0-based index of the hash, within the list of hashes for the specified module.
 - policy-file
 
- --unwrap
 - Extract the tboot verified launch policy from a TXT LCP element file.
 
- --show policy-file
 - Show the policy information in a policy file.
 - --help
 - Print out the help message.
 - --verbose
 - Enable verbose output; can be specified with any command.
 
EXAMPLES¶
tb_polgen --create --type nonfatal vl.pol
tb_polgen --add --num 0 --pcr none --hash image --cmdline "cmdline" --image /boot/xen.gz vl.pol
tb_polgen --add --num 1 --pcr 19 --hash image --cmdline "cmdline" --image /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen vl.pol
tb_polgen --add --num 2 --pcr 19 --hash image --cmdline "" --image /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img vl.pol
tb_polgen --del --num 1 vl.pol
tb_polgen --show --verbose vl.pol
Note1:¶
It is not necessary to specify a PCR for module 0, since this module's measurement will always be extended to PCR 18. If a PCR is specified, then the measurement will be extended to that PCR in addition to PCR 18.
Note2:¶
--unwrap is not implemented correctly. There should be a defined UUID for this and that should be checked before copying the data. There should be a wrap or similar command to generates an element file for a policy.
