The public record demonstrates otherwise. But are you saying that you'd be happy if the commit message read something more like: ---8<--- For better or worse, Secure Launch needs SHA-1 and SHA-256. The choice of hashes used lie with the platform firmware, not with software, and is often outside of the users control. Even if we'd prefer to use SHA-256-only, if firmware elected to start us with the SHA-1 and SHA-256 backs active, we still need SHA-1 to parse the TPM event log thus far, and deliberately cap the SHA-1 PCRs in order to safely use SHA-256 for everything else. --- ? ~Andrew _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
