  	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 PERSISTENT_KEYRINGS
  	bool "Enable register of persistent per-UID keyrings"
  	depends on KEYS
  	help
  	  This option provides a register of persistent per-UID keyrings,
  	  primarily aimed at Kerberos key storage.  The keyrings are persistent
  	  in the sense that they stay around after all processes of that UID
  	  have exited, not that they survive the machine being rebooted.
  
  	  A particular keyring may be accessed by either the user whose keyring
  	  it is or by a process with administrative privileges.  The active
  	  LSMs gets to rule on which admin-level processes get to access the
  	  cache.
  
  	  Keyrings are created and added into the register upon demand and get
  	  removed if they expire (a default timeout is set upon creation).

  	depends on KEYS

  	help
  	  This option provides support for holding large keys within the kernel
  	  (for example Kerberos ticket caches).  The data may be stored out to
  	  swapspace by tmpfs.
  
  	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

  	depends on KEYS && TCG_TPM
  	select CRYPTO
  	select CRYPTO_HMAC
  	select CRYPTO_SHA1
  	help
  	  This option provides support for creating, sealing, and unsealing
  	  keys in the kernel. Trusted keys are random number symmetric keys,
  	  generated and RSA-sealed by the TPM. The TPM only unseals the keys,
  	  if the boot PCRs and other criteria match.  Userspace will only ever
  	  see encrypted blobs.
  
  	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

  	select CRYPTO_RNG
  	help
  	  This option provides support for create/encrypting/decrypting keys
  	  in the kernel.  Encrypted keys are kernel generated random numbers,
  	  which are encrypted/decrypted with a 'master' symmetric key. The
  	  'master' key can be either a trusted-key or user-key type.
  	  Userspace only ever sees/stores encrypted blobs.
  
  	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.
