Rust implementation of the keylime agent (Not ready for deployment)

Keylime

Overview

This is a Rust implementation of keylime agent. Keylime is system integrity monitoring system that has the following features:

• Exposes TPM trust chain for higher-level use
• Provides an end-to-end solution for bootstrapping node cryptographic identities
• Securely monitors system integrity

For more information, visit the keylime website

For now, this project is focusing on the keylime agent component, which is a HTTP server running on the machine that executes keylime operations. Most keylime operations rely on TPM co-processor; therefore, the server needs a physical TPM chip (or a TPM emulator) to perform keylime operations. The TPM emulator is a program that runs in the deamon to mimic TPM commands.

The rust keylime agent is in early development and not ready for production use.

Prerequisites

Required Packages

The rust-keylime agent requires the following packages for both compile and run time.

For Fedora, use the following command

$ dnf install openssl-devel gcc tpm2-tss-devel

For Ubuntu OS, use the following command

$ apt-get install openssl-dev gcc libtss-dev

Rust

Make sure Rust is installed before running Keylime. Installation instructions can be found here.

Logging env

To run with pretty-env-logger trace logging active, set cargo run within RUST_LOG, as follows:

$ RUST_LOG=keylime_agent=trace cargo run

Testing

Unit tests are gating in CI for new code submission. To run them:

$ cargo test
