This adds userspace access to Diffie-Hellman computations through a new keyctl() syscall command to calculate shared secrets or public keys using input parameters stored in the keyring. Input key ids are provided in a struct due to the current 5-arg limit for the keyctl syscall. Only user keys are supported in order to avoid exposing the content of logon or encrypted keys. The output is written to the provided buffer, based on the assumption that the values are only needed in userspace. Future support for other types of key derivation would involve a new command, like KEYCTL_ECDH_COMPUTE. Once Diffie-Hellman support is included in the crypto API, this code can be converted to use the crypto API to take advantage of possible hardware acceleration and reduce redundant code.

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.

|
|
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).

This option provides support for holding large keys within the kernel

swapspace by tmpfs.

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.

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.
