Having the big_keys functionality as a module is very marginally useful. The userspace code that would use this functionality will get odd error messages from the keys layer if the module isn't loaded. The code itself is fairly small, so just have this as a boolean option and not a tristate. Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@fedoraproject.org> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

bool "Enable access key retention support"

select ASSOCIATIVE_ARRAY
|
|
help
|
|
This option provides support for retaining authentication tokens and
|
|
access keys in the kernel.
|
|
|
|
It also includes provision of methods by which such keys might be
|
|
associated with a process so that network filesystems, encryption
|
|
support and the like can find them.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, a special type of key is available that acts as keyring:
|
|
a searchable sequence of keys. 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.

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).

help
|

This option provides support for holding large keys within the kernel
|
|
(for example Kerberos ticket caches). The data may be stored out to
|
|
swapspace by tmpfs.
|

If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

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

help
|
|
This option provides support for create/encrypting/decrypting keys
|
|
in the kernel. Encrypted keys are kernel generated random numbers,
|
|
which are encrypted/decrypted with a 'master' symmetric key. The
|
|
'master' key can be either a trusted-key or user-key type.
|
|
Userspace only ever sees/stores encrypted blobs.

bool "Enable the /proc/keys file by which keys may be viewed"

depends on KEYS

|
help
|
|
This option turns on support for the /proc/keys file - through which
|
|
can be listed all the keys on the system that are viewable by the
|
|
reading process.
|
|
|
|
The only keys included in the list are those that grant View
|
|
permission to the reading process whether or not it possesses them.
|
|
Note that LSM security checks are still performed, and may further
|
|
filter out keys that the current process is not authorised to view.
|
|
|
|
Only key attributes are listed here; key payloads are not included in
|
|
the resulting table.
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.
