Ya me too man, if i get it fixed ill let you know, Ive tried flashing a different kernel, didn't do anything. Im stumped, and seriously annoyed, i absolutely need to be able to get into my security settings, vpn i don't care about.

i got a fix lads :)

you need root, and terminal emulator. open terminal emulater and type these lines without the quotes:

type "su" and give permissions
type "mount -o rw,remount /system" enter
type "cd /vendor/firmware/keymaster" enter
type "chmod 0644 *" enter

done.

I can confirm that the use of the terminal procedures above work, I have just tried it on my Nexus 4 and it has resolved my force close issue when accessing Settings > Security.

    Im getting the force close issue on 4.2.2 when trying to get into Settings > Security, which is a rite pain in the arse.
