tlshd's primary function is to perform TLS handshakes on sockets on behalf of the kernel. In order to do that, it needs CAP_NET_ADMIN. Part of the handshake process involves verifying the peer's TLS certificates. In order to do that, tlshd needs to be able to mmap certificates in the system trust store. tlshd sometimes stores certificates and private keys in kernel keyrings, so it needs to be able to read and write keys.
