+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-pcrphase.service</filename>,
+ <filename>systemd-pcrphase-sysinit.service</filename>, and
+ <filename>systemd-pcrphase-initrd.service</filename> are system services that measure specific strings
+ into TPM2 PCR 11 during boot at various milestones of the boot process.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-pcrmachine.service</filename> is a system service that measures the machine ID
+ (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>) into
+ PCR 15.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-pcrfs-root.service</filename> and <filename>systemd-pcrfs@.service</filename> are
+ services that measure file system identity information (i.e. mount point, file system type, label and
+ UUID, partition label and UUID) into PCR 15. <filename>systemd-pcrfs-root.service</filename> does so for
+ the root file system, <filename>systemd-pcrfs@.service</filename> is a template unit that measures the
+ file system indicated by its instance identifier instead.</para>
+
+ <para>These services require
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-stub</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> to be
+ used in a unified kernel image (UKI). They execute no operation when the stub has not been used to invoke
+ the kernel. The stub will measure the invoked kernel and associated vendor resources into PCR 11 before
+ handing control to it; once userspace is invoked these services then will extend TPM2 PCR 11 with certain
+ literal strings indicating phases of the boot process. During a regular boot process PCR 11 is extended
+ with the following strings:</para>
+
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para><literal>enter-initrd</literal> — early when the initrd initializes, before activating
+ system extension images for the initrd. It acts as a barrier between the time where the kernel
+ initializes and where the initrd starts operating and enables system extension images, i.e. code
+ shipped outside of the UKI. (This extension happens when the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-pcrphase-initrd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ service is started.)</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para><literal>leave-initrd</literal> — when the initrd is about to transition into the host
+ file system. It acts as barrier between initrd code and host OS code. (This extension happens when the
+ <filename>systemd-pcrphase-initrd.service</filename> service is stopped.)</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para><literal>sysinit</literal> — when basic system initialization is complete (which
+ includes local file systems having been mounted), and the system begins starting regular system
+ services. (This extension happens when the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-pcrphase-sysinit.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ service is started.)</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para><literal>ready</literal> — during later boot-up, after remote file systems have been
+ activated (i.e. after <filename>remote-fs.target</filename>), but before users are permitted to log in
+ (i.e. before <filename>systemd-user-sessions.service</filename>). It acts as barrier between the time
+ where unprivileged regular users are still prohibited to log in and where they are allowed to log in.
+ (This extension happens when the <filename>systemd-pcrphase.service</filename> service is started.)
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para><literal>shutdown</literal> — when the system shutdown begins. It acts as barrier
+ between the time the system is fully up and running and where it is about to shut down. (This extension
+ happens when the <filename>systemd-pcrphase.service</filename> service is stopped.)</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para><literal>final</literal> — at the end of system shutdown. It acts as barrier between
+ the time the service manager still runs and when it transitions into the final shutdown phase where
+ service management is not available anymore. (This extension happens when the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-pcrphase-sysinit.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ service is stopped.)</para></listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>During a regular system lifecycle, PCR 11 is extended with the strings
+ <literal>enter-initrd</literal>, <literal>leave-initrd</literal>, <literal>sysinit</literal>,
+ <literal>ready</literal>, <literal>shutdown</literal>, and <literal>final</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para>Specific phases of the boot process may be referenced via the series of strings measured, separated
+ by colons (the "phase path"). For example, the phase path for the regular system runtime is
+ <literal>enter-initrd:leave-initrd:sysinit:ready</literal>, while the one for the initrd is just
+ <literal>enter-initrd</literal>. The phase path for the boot phase before the initrd is an empty string;
+ because that's hard to pass around a single colon (<literal>:</literal>) may be used instead. Note that
+ the aforementioned six strings are just the default strings and individual systems might measure other
+ strings at other times, and thus implement different and more fine-grained boot phases to bind policy
+ to.</para>
+
+ <para>By binding policy of TPM2 objects to a specific phase path it is possible to restrict access to
+ them to specific phases of the boot process, for example making it impossible to access the root file
+ system's encryption key after the system transitioned from the initrd into the host root file system.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-measure</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
+ pre-calculate expected PCR 11 values for specific boot phases (via the <option>--phase=</option> switch).
