KEYRING LINK RESTRICTIONS
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
Keyrings created from userspace using add_key can be configured to check the
|
||||
signature of the key being linked.
|
||||
|
||||
Several restriction methods are available:
|
||||
|
||||
(1) Restrict using the kernel builtin trusted keyring
|
||||
|
||||
- Option string used with KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING:
|
||||
- "builtin_trusted"
|
||||
|
||||
The kernel builtin trusted keyring will be searched for the signing
|
||||
key. The ca_keys kernel parameter also affects which keys are used for
|
||||
signature verification.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) Restrict using the kernel builtin and secondary trusted keyrings
|
||||
|
||||
- Option string used with KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING:
|
||||
- "builtin_and_secondary_trusted"
|
||||
|
||||
The kernel builtin and secondary trusted keyrings will be searched for the
|
||||
signing key. The ca_keys kernel parameter also affects which keys are used
|
||||
for signature verification.
|
||||
|
||||
In all of these cases, if the signing key is found the signature of the key to
|
||||
be linked will be verified using the signing key. The requested key is added
|
||||
to the keyring only if the signature is successfully verified. -ENOKEY is
|
||||
returned if the parent certificate could not be found, or -EKEYREJECTED is
|
||||
returned if the signature check fails or the key is blacklisted. Other errors
|
||||
may be returned if the signature check could not be performed.
