DESCRIPTION

14       This  program  is  invoked by the kernel when the kernel is asked for a
15       key that it doesn't have immediately available. The  kernel  creates  a
16       partially  set up key and then calls out to this program to instantiate
17       it. It is not intended to be called directly.
