[PATCH 00/10] KEYS: Change how keys are determined to be trusted

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

Here's a set of patches that changes how keys are determined to be trusted
- currently, that's a case of whether a key has KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED set upon
it.  A keyring can then have a flag set (KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED ONLY) that
indicates that only keys with this flag set may be added to that keyring.

Further, any time an X.509 certificate is instantiated without this flag
set, the certificate is judged against the contents of the system trusted
keyring to determine whether KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED should be set upon it.

With these patches, KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED is removed.  The kernel may add
implicitly trusted keys to a trusted-only keyring by asserting
KEY_ALLOC_TRUSTED when the key is created, but otherwise the key will only
be allowed to be added to the keyring if it can be verified by a key
already in that keyring.  The system trusted keyring is not then special in
this sense and other trusted keyrings can be set up that are wholly
independent of it.

To make this work, we have to retain sufficient data from the X.509
certificate that we can then verify the signature at need.

The patches can be found here also:
