| config KEYS |
| bool "Enable access key retention support" |
| 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. |
| |
| config TRUSTED_KEYS |
| tristate "TRUSTED KEYS" |
| depends on KEYS && TCG_TPM |
| select CRYPTO |
| select CRYPTO_HMAC |
| select CRYPTO_SHA1 |
| 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. |
| |
| If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. |
| |
| config ENCRYPTED_KEYS |
| tristate "ENCRYPTED KEYS" |
| depends on KEYS && TRUSTED_KEYS |
| select CRYPTO_AES |
| select CRYPTO_CBC |
| select CRYPTO_SHA256 |
| select CRYPTO_RNG |
| 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. |
| |
| If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. |
| |
| config KEYS_DEBUG_PROC_KEYS |
| 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. |
| |
| config SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT |
| bool "Restrict unprivileged access to the kernel syslog" |
| default n |
| help |
| This enforces restrictions on unprivileged users reading the kernel |
| syslog via dmesg(8). |
| |
| If this option is not selected, no restrictions will be enforced |
| unless the dmesg_restrict sysctl is explicitly set to (1). |
| |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. |
| |
| config SECURITY |
| bool "Enable different security models" |
| depends on SYSFS |
| help |
| This allows you to choose different security modules to be |
| configured into your kernel. |
| |
| If this option is not selected, the default Linux security |
| model will be used. |
| |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. |
| |
| config SECURITYFS |
| bool "Enable the securityfs filesystem" |
| help |
| This will build the securityfs filesystem. It is currently used by |
| the TPM bios character driver and IMA, an integrity provider. It is |
| not used by SELinux or SMACK. |
| |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. |
| |
| config SECURITY_NETWORK |
| bool "Socket and Networking Security Hooks" |
| depends on SECURITY |
| help |
| This enables the socket and networking security hooks. |
| If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to |
| implement socket and networking access controls. |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. |
| |
| config SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM |
| bool "XFRM (IPSec) Networking Security Hooks" |
| depends on XFRM && SECURITY_NETWORK |
| help |
| This enables the XFRM (IPSec) networking security hooks. |
| If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to |
| implement per-packet access controls based on labels |
| derived from IPSec policy. Non-IPSec communications are |
| designated as unlabelled, and only sockets authorized |
| to communicate unlabelled data can send without using |
| IPSec. |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. |
| |
| config SECURITY_PATH |
| bool "Security hooks for pathname based access control" |
| depends on SECURITY |
| help |
| This enables the security hooks for pathname based access control. |
| If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to |
| implement pathname based access controls. |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. |
| |
| config INTEL_TXT |
| bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)" |
| depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT |
| help |
| This option enables support for booting the kernel with the |
| Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize |
| Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch |
| of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this |
| will have no effect. |
| |
| Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and |
| initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to |
| create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which |
| helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning |
| correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside |
| of the kernel itself. |
| |
| Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having |
| confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that |
| it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for |
| providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it. |
| |
| See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information |
| about Intel(R) TXT. |
| See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot. |
| See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable |
| Intel TXT support in a kernel boot. |
| |
| If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. |

| config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR |
| int "Low address space for LSM to protect from user allocation" |
| depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX |
| default 65536 |
| help |
| This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected |
| from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages |
| can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs. |
| |
| For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space |
| a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems. |
| On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768. |
| Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map |
| this low address space will need the permission specific to the |
| systems running LSM. |
