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. | |

30 | depends on KEYS | |
31 | help | |
32 | This option provides a register of persistent per-UID keyrings, | |
33 | primarily aimed at Kerberos key storage. The keyrings are persistent | |
34 | in the sense that they stay around after all processes of that UID | |
35 | have exited, not that they survive the machine being rebooted. | |
36 | ||
37 | A particular keyring may be accessed by either the user whose keyring | |
38 | it is or by a process with administrative privileges. The active | |
39 | LSMs gets to rule on which admin-level processes get to access the | |
40 | cache. | |
41 | ||
42 | Keyrings are created and added into the register upon demand and get | |
43 | removed if they expire (a default timeout is set upon creation). | |

66 | help |
67 | This option provides support for creating, sealing, and unsealing | |
68 | keys in the kernel. Trusted keys are random number symmetric keys, | |
69 | generated and RSA-sealed by the TPM. The TPM only unseals the keys, | |
70 | if the boot PCRs and other criteria match. Userspace will only ever | |
71 | see encrypted blobs. | |

87 | which are encrypted/decrypted with a 'master' symmetric key. The | |
88 | 'master' key can be either a trusted-key or user-key type. | |
89 | Userspace only ever sees/stores encrypted blobs. | |
