  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.

  	  can be listed all the keys on the system that are viewable by the
  	  reading process.

  	  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
  	  the resulting table.
  
  	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

  	  This enables the XFRM (IPSec) networking security hooks.
  	  If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
  	  implement per-packet access controls based on labels
  	  derived from IPSec policy.  Non-IPSec communications are
  	  designated as unlabelled, and only sockets authorized
  	  to communicate unlabelled data can send without using
  	  IPSec.
  	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.

  	  For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
  	  a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
  	  On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
  	  Programs which use vm86 functionality would either need additional
  	  permissions from either the LSM or the capabilities module or have
  	  this protection disabled.
