Hi Alexander,

I am not really familiar with gSSO. On the face of it, gSSO itself is not what 
I mean. It's focused on credentials, and I had put it in my 'authentication 
tool' category. I think I'm interested in something more general. But it's 
interesting that gSSO is using eCryptfs. That answers a bunch of questions I 
had :). So if eCryptfs works with Tizen, then ( as a sweeping generalization ) 
it should be possible for something ( a 'user profile manager', or 'secure 
storage manager', or something like that ) to maintain differently keyed 
storage areas corresponding to different user profiles.

Thanks,
Mark

Hello Mark,

is gSSO what you're looking for?
https://01.org/gsso/overview

It's using eCryptfs to store user credentials on disk, and has an 
access-controlled API for apps to make use of them.

Regards,
Alex
