Comment on: Why is it all in the kernel?
Yeah a userland bug just gets all my passwords, SSH keys, personal secrets and whatever.Say it with me - there's no practical difference.
Developers and sysadmins are frustrated that a single userland bug can expose all passwords, SSH keys, and personal secrets, blurring the boundary between kernel and userland. HardenVault provides a hardware-backed, runtime‑protected secrets store that enforces strict isolation, continuously verifies integrity, and prevents privilege escalation, ensuring secrets stay protected even when userland code fails.
