The user session keyring is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a user.
Each UID the kernel deals with has its own user session keyring that
is shared by all processes with that UID.
+The user session keyring has a name (description) of the form
+.I _uid_ses.<UID>
+where
+.I <UID>
+is the user ID of the corresponding user.
The user session keyring is associated with the record that
the kernel maintains for the UID.
