[$] Hash-based module integrity for reproducible distributions
Date:
Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:14:55 +0000
Description:
We last looked in on hash-based integrity
checking for kernel modules just over a year and half ago. Since that time, the patch
set has undergone multiple revisions. At the 2026 Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC), Thomas Weischuh described the need for kernel-module integrity guarantees while still providing reproducible builds, how his patches implement that, and some ideas for possible
further work.
