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_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 + 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.
