+      OpenShift Nodes are using Red Hat CoreOS (RHCOS) by default, an immutable operating system.
+      While RHEL is also supported for Compute Nodes, RHCOS is mandatory for Control Plane Nodes and
+      recommended for all nodes. The correct version and configuration of RHCOS is verified
+      cryptographically with the desired state, that is managed by the Control Plane using MachineConfigs.
+      Any manual change on managed files is overwritten to ensure the desired state. Therefore, the
+      control is mostly inheretly met when using CoreOS for all nodes.
+
+      Section 1: OpenShift uses an internal Certificate Authority (CA). The nodes (kubelet to API server
+      and MachineConfig daemon to MachineConfig server) are communicating using node-specific certificates,
+      signed by this CA. Correct permissions of relevant files and secure TLS configuration are verified
+      using the referenced rules. A TPM-verified status is not present with currently built-in mechanisms
+      of OpenShift.
+
+      Section 2: Using the Red Hat File Integrity Operator, all files on the RHCOS nodes can be
+      cryptographically checked for integrity using Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE).
