[$] Supporting PGP keys and signatures in the kernel

A few weeks back, we looked at a proposalto add an integrity-management feature to Fedora. One of the sellingpoints was that the integrity checking could be done using the PGPsignatures that are already embedded into the RPM package files that Fedorauses. But the kernel needs to be able to verify PGP signatures in orderfor the Fedora feature to work. That addition to the kernel has been proposed, butsome in the kernel-development community seem less than completelyenthusiastic about bringing PGP support into the kernel itself.
