  6config KEYS
  7	bool "Enable access key retention support"
  8	select ASSOCIATIVE_ARRAY
  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, ...).
 41
 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).

 64	help
 65	  This option provides support for holding large keys within the kernel
 66	  (for example Kerberos ticket caches).  The data may be stored out to
 67	  swapspace by tmpfs.
 68
 69	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

 74	select CRYPTO
 75	select CRYPTO_HMAC
 76	select CRYPTO_SHA1
 77	select CRYPTO_HASH_INFO
 78	help
 79	  This option provides support for creating, sealing, and unsealing
 80	  keys in the kernel. Trusted keys are random number symmetric keys,
 81	  generated and RSA-sealed by the TPM. The TPM only unseals the keys,
 82	  if the boot PCRs and other criteria match.  Userspace will only ever
 83	  see encrypted blobs.
 84
 85	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

 93	select CRYPTO_CBC
 94	select CRYPTO_SHA256
 95	select CRYPTO_RNG
 96	help
 97	  This option provides support for create/encrypting/decrypting keys
 98	  in the kernel.  Encrypted keys are kernel generated random numbers,
 99	  which are encrypted/decrypted with a 'master' symmetric key. The
100	  'master' key can be either a trusted-key or user-key type.
101	  Userspace only ever sees/stores encrypted blobs.
102
103	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

109       select CRYPTO_HASH
110       select CRYPTO_DH

112	 This option provides support for calculating Diffie-Hellman
113	 public keys and shared secrets using values stored as keys
114	 in the kernel.
115
116	 If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

118config KEY_NOTIFICATIONS

120	depends on KEYS && WATCH_QUEUE
121	help
122	  This option provides support for getting change notifications on keys
123	  and keyrings on which the caller has View permission.  This makes use
124	  of the /dev/watch_queue misc device to handle the notification
125	  buffer and provides KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY to enable/disable watches.
