+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.
