CONFIG_ENCRYPTED_KEYS: ENCRYPTED KEYS

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_ENCRYPTED_KEYS has multiple definitions:

ENCRYPTED KEYS found in security/keys/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_ENCRYPTED_KEYS:

• prompt: ENCRYPTED KEYS
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_KEYS
• defined in security/keys/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 3.5–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.13
• modules built: ecryptfs_format, encrypted-keys, encrypted-keys, encrypted

Help text

This option provides support for create/encrypting/decrypting keys in the kernel. Encrypted keys are instantiated using kernel generated random numbers or provided decrypted data, and are encrypted/decrypted with a 'master' symmetric key. The 'master' key can be either a trusted-key or user-key type. Only encrypted blobs are ever output to Userspace.

If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.
