KEYS: Move the key config into security/keys/Kconfig
Move the key config into security/keys/Kconfig as there are going to be a lot of key-related options. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com>

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.

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

30 help
31 This option provides support for creating, sealing, and unsealing
32 keys in the kernel. Trusted keys are random number symmetric keys,
33 generated and RSA-sealed by the TPM. The TPM only unseals the keys,
34 if the boot PCRs and other criteria match. Userspace will only ever
35 see encrypted blobs.

48 help
49 This option provides support for create/encrypting/decrypting keys
50 in the kernel. Encrypted keys are kernel generated random numbers,
51 which are encrypted/decrypted with a 'master' symmetric key. The
52 'master' key can be either a trusted-key or user-key type.
53 Userspace only ever sees/stores encrypted blobs.

59 depends on KEYS
60 help
61 This option turns on support for the /proc/keys file - through which
62 can be listed all the keys on the system that are viewable by the
63 reading process.
64
65 The only keys included in the list are those that grant View
66 permission to the reading process whether or not it possesses them.
67 Note that LSM security checks are still performed, and may further
68 filter out keys that the current process is not authorised to view.

70 Only key attributes are listed here; key payloads are not included in
71 the resulting table.
