Can you really lay blame on the kernel though? All of this stuff with secrets is happening in userspace and mostly at the shell. If anything, systemd would probably be the place you'd want to build a secret storage system--perhaps build something API driven similar to Hashicorp's vault. edit: Apparently systemd now has an option to pass secrets/credentials to a service through a more secure by default (i.e. only stored in memory) file option: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#LoadCredential=ID:PATH https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exe...
