- 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 keys may be viewed"
- depends on KEYS
- help
- This option turns on support for the /proc/keys file - through which
- 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.
- config SECURITY
- bool "Enable different security models"
- depends on SYSFS
- help
- This allows you to choose different security modules to be
- configured into your kernel.
- If this option is not selected, the default Linux security
- model will be used.
- If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
- config SECURITYFS
- bool "Enable the securityfs filesystem"
- help
- This will build the securityfs filesystem. It is currently used by
- the TPM bios character driver and IMA, an integrity provider. It is
- not used by SELinux or SMACK.
- If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
- config SECURITY_NETWORK
- bool "Socket and Networking Security Hooks"
- depends on SECURITY
- help
- This enables the socket and networking security hooks.
- If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
- implement socket and networking access controls.
- If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
- config SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM
- bool "XFRM (IPSec) Networking Security Hooks"
- depends on XFRM && SECURITY_NETWORK
- help
- 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.
- config SECURITY_PATH
- bool "Security hooks for pathname based access control"
- depends on SECURITY
- help
- This enables the security hooks for pathname based access control.
- If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
- implement pathname based access controls.
- If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
- config INTEL_TXT
- bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)"
- depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
- help
- This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
- Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
- Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
- of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
- will have no effect.
- Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
- initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to
- create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
- helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
- correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
- of the kernel itself.
- Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
- confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
- it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
- providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
- See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
- about Intel(R) TXT.
- See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.
- See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable
- Intel TXT support in a kernel boot.
- If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.
- config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
- int "Low address space for LSM to protect from user allocation"
- depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX
- default 65536
- help
- This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
- from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
- can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
- 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 or have some need to map
- this low address space will need the permission specific to the
- systems running LSM.
