Each process is equipped with access + to five standard keyrings: UID-specific, GID-specific, session, + process and thread. + + If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. + +config KEYS_COMPAT + def_bool y + depends on COMPAT && KEYS + +config PERSISTENT_KEYRINGS + bool "Enable register of persistent per-UID keyrings" + depends on KEYS + help + This option provides a register of persistent per-UID keyrings, + primarily aimed at Kerberos key storage. The keyrings are persistent + in the sense that they stay around after all processes of that UID + have exited, not that they survive the machine being rebooted. + + A particular keyring may be accessed by either the user whose keyring + it is or by a process with administrative privileges. The active + LSMs gets to rule on which admin-level processes get to access the + cache. + + Keyrings are created and added into the register upon demand and get + removed if they expire (a default timeout is set upon creation). + +config BIG_KEYS + bool "Large payload keys" + depends on KEYS + depends on TMPFS + select CRYPTO + select CRYPTO_AES + select CRYPTO_GCM + help + This option provides support for holding large keys within the kernel + (for example Kerberos ticket caches).
