Hi Amruta,

TrouSerS isn't the right place where IMA should be. It was integrated
into the Linux Kernel in version 2.6.30, and it provides access to the
event log/measurement list through securityfs
at /sys/kernel/security/ima. 

On the other hand, TrouSerS-0.3.2 supports its log format, so one can
retrieve this log using Tspi_TPM_GetEventLog(), but I'm not sure if
that's what you're trying to accomplish with some userspace application
(that could use the Tspi to do so).

You can find more information about IMA at
http://linux-ima.sourceforge.net/

Thanks,
