IPE is a Linux Security Module (LSM), which allows for a configurable policy to enforce integrity requirements on the whole system. IPE builds on concepts and implementations like loadpin, as well as leveraging existing modules like dm-verity to simplify enforcing integrity requirements on systems that require security constraints and\or compliance reasons. IPE is intended to complement IMA and they can work in conjunction with each other. IPE provides a policy that allows owners of the system to easily specify integrity requirements and uses dm-verity signatures to simplify the authentication of allowed objects like authorized code and data.
