[PATCH] implement in-kernel keys & keyring management
The feature set the patch includes:
- Key attributes:
- Key type
- Description (by which a key of a particular type can be selected)
- Payload
- UID, GID and permissions mask
- Expiry time
- Keyrings (just a type of key that holds links to other keys)
- User-defined keys
- Key revokation
- Access controls
- Per user key-count and key-memory consumption quota
- Three std keyrings per task: per-thread, per-process, session
- Two std keyrings per user: per-user and default-user-session
- prctl() functions for key and keyring creation and management
- Kernel interfaces for filesystem, blockdev, net stack access
- JIT key creation by usermode helper
There are also two utility programs available:
(*) http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/keys/keyctl.c
A comprehensive key management tool, permitting all the interfaces
available to userspace to be exercised.
(*) http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/keys/request-key
An example shell script (to be installed in /sbin) for instantiating a
key.
