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