9 help
10 This option provides support for retaining authentication tokens and
11 access keys in the kernel.
12
13 It also includes provision of methods by which such keys might be
14 associated with a process so that network filesystems, encryption
15 support and the like can find them.
16
17 Furthermore, a special type of key is available that acts as keyring:
18 a searchable sequence of keys. Each process is equipped with access
19 to five standard keyrings: UID-specific, GID-specific, session,
20 process and thread.
21
22 If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

24config KEYS_REQUEST_CACHE
25 bool "Enable temporary caching of the last request_key() result"
26 depends on KEYS
27 help
28 This option causes the result of the last successful request_key()
29 call that didn't upcall to the kernel to be cached temporarily in the
30 task_struct. The cache is cleared by exit and just prior to the
31 resumption of userspace.
32
33 This allows the key used for multiple step processes where each step
34 wants to request a key that is likely the same as the one requested
35 by the last step to save on the searching.
36
37 An example of such a process is a pathwalk through a network
38 filesystem in which each method needs to request an authentication
39 key. Pathwalk will call multiple methods for each dentry traversed
40 (permission, d_revalidate, lookup, getxattr, getacl, ...).

42config PERSISTENT_KEYRINGS
43 bool "Enable register of persistent per-UID keyrings"
44 depends on KEYS
45 help
46 This option provides a register of persistent per-UID keyrings,
47 primarily aimed at Kerberos key storage. The keyrings are persistent
48 in the sense that they stay around after all processes of that UID
49 have exited, not that they survive the machine being rebooted.
50
51 A particular keyring may be accessed by either the user whose keyring
52 it is or by a process with administrative privileges. The active
53 LSMs gets to rule on which admin-level processes get to access the
54 cache.
55
56 Keyrings are created and added into the register upon demand and get
57 removed if they expire (a default timeout is set upon creation).
