What is Linux kernel keystore and why you should use it in your next app - by Ignat Korchagin

This talk features Ignat Korchagin, an engineering manager at Cloudflare, who explores the Linux keystore and its full range of capabilities for secure credential storage. He discusses how applications can use the keystore to handle cryptographic keys, sign and encrypt data, and manage secrets without directly interacting with the underlying cryptographic material. Ignat highlights the integration of the Linux keystore with specialized security hardware such as TPMs and HSMs, and he emphasizes the potential for a unified system entry point for applications to access their secrets. His extensive background in security, particularly within Samsung Electronics, provides a rich context for this important topic in Linux security.
