## Enable Enforced Module Signing
+The kernel should never allow an unprivileged user the ability to load specific kernel modules,
+since that would provide a facility to unexpectedly extend the available attack surface.
+
+To protect against even privileged users, systems may need to either disable
+module loading entirely, or provide signed modules
+(e.g. CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE, or dm-crypt with LoadPin), to keep from having
+root load arbitrary kernel code via the module loader interface.
+
This configuration is supported in **Linux 3.7 and greater** and thus should only be enabled for such versions.
