The kernel crypto API provides the SP800-108 counter KDF implementation. Thus, the separate implementation provided as part of the keys subsystem can be replaced with calls to the KDF offered by the kernel crypto API. The keys subsystem uses the counter KDF with a hash primitive. Thus, it only uses the call to crypto_kdf108_ctr_generate.

config KEYS

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.

config KEYS_REQUEST_CACHE
|
|
bool "Enable temporary caching of the last request_key() result"
|
|
depends on KEYS
|
|
help
|
|
This option causes the result of the last successful request_key()
|
|
call that didn't upcall to the kernel to be cached temporarily in the
|
|
task_struct. The cache is cleared by exit and just prior to the
|
|
resumption of userspace.
|
|
|
|
This allows the key used for multiple step processes where each step
|
|
wants to request a key that is likely the same as the one requested
|
|
by the last step to save on the searching.
|
|
|
|
An example of such a process is a pathwalk through a network
|
|
filesystem in which each method needs to request an authentication
|
|
key. Pathwalk will call multiple methods for each dentry traversed
|
|
(permission, d_revalidate, lookup, getxattr, getacl, ...).
|
|
|
|
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).

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.

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

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.

help

This option provides support for getting change notifications
|
|
on keys and keyrings on which the caller has View permission.
|
|
This makes use of pipes to handle the notification buffer and
|
|
provides KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY to enable/disable watches.
