X.509 certificates may contain a key usage extension [1]. The key usage
extension defines the purpose of the certificate. One area of
interest is the digitalSignature. The digitalSignature usage is
typically used for code signing (integrity).
Within the "Add CA enforcement key restrictions" [2] series, the
digitalSignature is being saved. This series builds upon the previous
one and adds restrictions based on the digitalSignature usage.
A new keyring restriction called restrict_link_by_digsig is added. The new
restriction only allows keys that contain digitalSignature usage within
it.
With this update, keys can be filtered based on digitalSignature. The
first two keyrings to use this restriction are the .ima and .evm
keyrings. Only keys containing a digitalSignature shall be allowed into
either keyring.
