There's IMA-measurement, IMA-audit, and IMA-appraisal. IMA-audit
refers to adding the file hash to the audit log record. IMA-
measurement stores the collected hash in the IMA measurement list and
extends the TPM with the measurement, if there's a TPM. Based on
policy, determines whether the file is measured, audited, and/or
appraised. I actually do think it makes sense to require a signature,
but not necessarily enforce signature verification, in order to
differentiate the type of measurement being included in the measurement
list.

thanks,

Mimi
