Ah-ha! Okay, that's what I was worried about. Yes, a device made up of only trusted verity targets should be the only trusted device. (So, technically it could be more than 1 verity target, but each would need to be trusted. Supporting that arrangement, though, may be overkill -- I would expect a 1:1 mapping as you suggest. -- Kees Cook -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
