-	  Provide a system keyring to which trusted keys can be added.  Keys in
-	  the keyring are considered to be trusted.  Keys may be added at will
-	  by the kernel from compiled-in data and from hardware key stores, but

-	  keys already in the keyring.
-
-	  Keys in this keyring are used by module signature checking.
+	  Provide PKCS#7 message verification using the contents of the system
+	  trusted keyring to provide public keys.  This then can be used for
+	  module verification, kexec image verification and firmware blob
+	  verification.

 	  Check modules for valid signatures upon load: the signature
 	  is simply appended to the module. For more information see

 	  !!!WARNING!!!  If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the
