# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only## Key management configuration# menuconfig 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. if KEYS config KEYS_REQUEST_CACHE	bool "Enable temporary caching of the last request_key() result"	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"	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 TMPFS	select CRYPTO_LIB_CHACHA20POLY1305	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. config TRUSTED_KEYS	tristate "TRUSTED KEYS"	help	  This option provides support for creating, sealing, and unsealing	  keys in the kernel. Trusted keys are random number symmetric keys,	  generated and sealed by a trust source selected at kernel boot-time.	  Userspace will only ever see encrypted blobs. 	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. if TRUSTED_KEYSsource "security/keys/trusted-keys/Kconfig"endif config ENCRYPTED_KEYS	tristate "ENCRYPTED KEYS"	select CRYPTO	select CRYPTO_AES	select CRYPTO_CBC	select CRYPTO_LIB_SHA256	help	  This option provides support for create/encrypting/decrypting keys	  in the kernel.  Encrypted keys are instantiated using kernel	  generated random numbers or provided decrypted data, and are	  encrypted/decrypted with a 'master' symmetric key. The 'master'	  key can be either a trusted-key or user-key type. Only encrypted	  blobs are ever output to Userspace. 	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. config USER_DECRYPTED_DATA	bool "Allow encrypted keys with user decrypted data"	depends on ENCRYPTED_KEYS	help	  This option provides support for instantiating encrypted keys using	  user-provided decrypted data.  The decrypted data must be hex-ascii	  encoded. 	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. config KEY_DH_OPERATIONS       bool "Diffie-Hellman operations on retained keys"       select CRYPTO       select CRYPTO_KDF800108_CTR       select CRYPTO_DH       help	 This option provides support for calculating Diffie-Hellman	 public keys and shared secrets using values stored as keys	 in the kernel. 	 If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. config KEY_NOTIFICATIONS	bool "Provide key/keyring change notifications"	depends on WATCH_QUEUE	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. endif # KEYS
