About Keylime

Keylime is an open source solution designed to provide scalable remote boot attestation and runtime integrity measurement for cloud and edge environments, including IoT devices. It leverages hardware-based cryptographic roots of trust through TPM 2.0, enabling enterprises to verify the integrity of remote nodes continuously. Originally developed by MIT's Lincoln Laboratory and now a CNCF sandbox project, Keylime integrates with the Linux TPM2 Software Stack to simplify TPM technology adoption for developers and security teams.

Targeted at enterprises managing distributed infrastructure, Keylime offers capabilities such as remote boot attestation, Linux Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) monitoring, secure application bootstrapping, payload provisioning, and a revocation framework. This enables organizations to enforce trust policies and detect unauthorized changes or tampering in real-time, enhancing cloud security posture and compliance readiness. Its open source nature encourages community collaboration and customization to meet diverse security requirements.
