-          This option is a slight security risk in that it makes it possible
-          for anyone to see all the keys on the system. Normally the manager
-          pretends keys that are inaccessible to a process don't exist as far
-          as that process is concerned.
+          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
