What if we had some sort of security interface for the kernel? So a daemon
program could provide a security service to the kernel. The interface could
allow multiple daemons supporting different types of security. Then to mount a
secured filing system you would need to give the name of the encryption
algorithm to use and the password.
What do you think?
