The initial Diffie-Hellman computation made direct use of the MPI library because the crypto module did not support DH at the time. Now that KPP is implemented, KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE should use it to get rid of duplicate code and leverage possible hardware acceleration. This fixes an issue whereby the input to the KDF computation would include additional uninitialized memory when the result of the Diffie-Hellman computation was shorter than the input prime number.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
