From: Stefan Berger <stef...@linux.ibm.com> This patch adds support for using elliptic curve keys for signing modules. It uses a NIST P256 (prime256v1) key if the user chooses an elliptic curve key.
A developer choosing an ECDSA key for signing modules has to manually delete the signing key (rm certs/signing_key.*) when falling back to an older version of a kernel that only supports RSA key since otherwise ECDSA-signed modules will not be usable when that older kernel runs. Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stef...@linux.ibm.com> --- This patch builds on top of my ECDSA patch series and Nayna's series for 'kernel build support for loading the kernel module signing key'. - https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/2/15/766 - https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/2/18/856 --- certs/Kconfig | 17 +++++++++++++++++ certs/Makefile | 14 ++++++++++++++ crypto/asymmetric_keys/pkcs7_parser.c | 4 ++++ 3 files changed, 35 insertions(+) diff --git a/certs/Kconfig b/certs/Kconfig index 48675ad319db..5e2dd5c24d31 100644 --- a/certs/Kconfig +++ b/certs/Kconfig @@ -15,6 +15,23 @@ config MODULE_SIG_KEY then the kernel will automatically generate the private key and certificate as described in Documentation/admin-guide/module-signing.rst +choice + prompt "Type of module signing key to be generated" + default MODULE_SIG_KEY_TYPE_RSA + help + The type of module signing key type to generated.
