AFAIK kernel doens't "save secrets locally" (in the sense those secrets
are available across reboot), you have to use higher level API such as 
https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec/ with
implementation such as https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Libsecret

But kernel can hold secrets with the keyring API 
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/keyrings.7.html
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/security/keys.txt
