Did you include support for the new key/keyring infrastructure
introduced
a couple versions ago by David Howells? It allows userspace to create
and
manage various sorts of "keys" in kernelspace. If you create and
register
a few keytypes for various symmetric and asymmetric ciphers, you could
then
take advantage of its support for securely passing keys around in and
out
of userspace.
