The key_type_rxrpc key that the AFS fs or userspace passes to AF_RXRPC indicates the protocol that AF_RXRPC should use. The AFS fs doesn't need to care how the security actually works and the token is opaque to it.
rxkad registers itself with AF_RXRPC, which maintains a list. The security_index is the number that appears in the protocol that indicates the security driver to use.
