Thank you for pointing me to the right direction. The first time the aegis was mentioned I've failed to find online documentation (either due to the missing "dbus" keyword or it simply was not there)

For all interested Harmattan documentation on security is here.

The information on aegis syntax is here.

So far it sounds like TPM, which if it is true s*** big time.
