Hi Everyone,
Does the kernel have a Keychain API to save secrets locally? I'm specifically looking for kernel assistance and a API to use across different OSes.
AFAIK kernel doens't "save secrets locally" (in the sense those secrets are available across reboot), you have to use higher level API such as https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec/ with implementation such as https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Libsecret But kernel can hold secrets with the keyring API http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/keyrings.7.html https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/security/keys.txt Regards. -- Yann Droneaud OPTEYA
