Journald FSS Verification
ESF 7.0 is able to periodically check Systemd Journal files integrity performing FSS (Forward Secure Sealing) verification of the current log files under /var/log/journal
.
This functionality is implemented as a Tamper Detection service, if the integrity check fails, the system will be reported as tampered.
Warning
Performing a Tamper Status reset on this service is not supported, attempting to perform such operation will have no effect.
The only way to reset the tamper status is to manually delete the log files.
