| 7 | config KEYS |
| 8 | bool "Enable access key retention support" |
| 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. |

| 26 | depends on KEYS |
| 27 | help |
| 28 | This option turns on support for the /proc/keys file through which |
| 29 | all the keys on the system can be listed. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | This option is a slight security risk in that it makes it possible |
| 32 | for anyone to see all the keys on the system. Normally the manager |
| 33 | pretends keys that are inaccessible to a process don't exist as far |
| 34 | as that process is concerned. |

| 40 | This allows you to choose different security modules to be |
| 41 | configured into your kernel. |

| 43 | If this option is not selected, the default Linux security |
