+config KEYS
+ bool "Enable access key retention support"
+ 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.

+config KEYS_DEBUG_PROC_KEYS
+ bool "Enable the /proc/keys file by which all keys may be viewed"
+ depends on KEYS
+ help
+ This option turns on support for the /proc/keys file through which
+ all the keys on the system can be listed.
+
+ 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.
