UNIX is a general-purpose, multi-user, interactive operating system for the Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11/40 and 11/45 computers. It offers a number of features seldom found even in larger operating systems, including: (1) a hierarchical file system incorporating demountable volumes; (2) compatible file, device, and inter-process I/O; (3) the ability to initiate asynchronous processes; (4) system command language selectable on a per-user basis; and (5) over 100 subsystems including a dozen languages. This paper discusses the nature and implementation of the file system and of the user command interface.

This is such a beautiful piece of computer science exposition. Man, it’s no wonder everyone wanted to copy these two guys.

All encryption is end-to-end, if you’re not picky about the ends. config TCG_TPM2_HMAC bool “Use HMAC and encrypted transactions on the TPM bus” default n select CRYPTO_ECDH select CRYPTO_LIB_AESCFB select CRYPTO_LIB_SHA256 select CRYPTO_LIB_UTILS help Setting this causes us to deploy a scheme which uses request and response HMACs in addition to encryption for communicating with the TPM to prevent or detect bus snooping and interposer attacks (see tpm-security.rst). Saying Y here adds some encryption overhead to all kernel to TPM transactions. Last year, I came agross a Linux kernel feature called TCG_TPM2_HMAC. It claims to detect or prevent active and passive interposer attackers. That’s one of my sleeper agent activation phrases, so I dug in.
