   4 i    The  developers  of  the  Android system have, among their many
   5 i    goals,  the  wish  to  better  protect  Android devices against
   6 i    persistent  compromise.  It is bad if a device is taken over by
   7 i    an  attacker; it's worse if it remains compromised even after a
   8 i    reboot.  Numerous  mechanisms  for  ensuring  the  integrity of
   9 i    installed  system files have been proposed and implemented over
  10 i    the  years.  But it seems there is always room for one more; to
  11 i    fill  that  space, the fs-verity mechanism is being proposed as
  12 i    a way to protect individual files from malicious modification.
