[PATCH v2 3/3] KEYS: validate certificate trust only with builtin keys

From: Dmitry Kasatkin
Date: Tue Jun 17 2014 - 04:57:57 EST


Instead of allowing public keys, with certificates signed by any
key on the system trusted keyring, to be added to a trusted keyring,
this patch further restricts the certificates to those signed only by
builtin keys on the system keyring.

This patch defines a new option 'builtin' for the kernel parameter
'keys_ownerid' to allow trust validation using builtin keys.

Based on Mimi's "KEYS: define an owner trusted keyring" patch.
