1 Greetings,
2
3 I have enabled module signature verification on my kernel, and it does
4 seem to be enabled upon boot:
5
6 $ dmesg | grep -i 'x.*509'
7 [ 1.259988] Asymmetric key parser 'x509' registered
8 [ 1.811026] Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates
9 [ 1.813833] Loaded X.509 cert 'Build time autogenerated kernel key:
10 77e716fc52a6293567d953cd24a5977e55b41a5e'
11
12 and doing a cat /proc/keys seems to show the key enabled:
13
14 $ cat /proc/keys
15 ...
16 37c67374 I------ 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 asymmetri Build time
17 autogenerated kernel key: 77e716fc52a6293567d953cd24a5977e55b41a5e:
18 X509.rsa 55b41a5e []
19 ...
20
21 However, if I do a modinfo to see the key on a module, it seems empty:
22
23 $modinfo ntfs
24 filename: /lib/modules/4.9.76-gentoo-r1/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko

32 depends:

36 signer:

40 And hex dump does show me the digital signature appended at the end:

54 My question is: why doesn't modinfo show me the key fingerprint?
