Authorization emblem icon for the authorization library

Hello,
I'm the GSoC student that its writing the new kde authorization library.
As part of my project I need to add a KAction and a KPushButton  
subclass that handle the user interaction when a privileged task is  
involved.

Say we have a pushbutton that triggers an action. If this action  
requires privileges, it will need authorization before being executed.  
In this case, the button icon has to present an emblem that remember  
the user that he'll need to authenticate.

It could be something like a lock or a key etc...

Now, my question is: which emblem should I use for this task? Can you  
provide one?

Thank you

Nicola Gigante

Hello,



This would be most suitable, I think:

http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/kdesupport/oxygen-icons/16x16/status/dialog-password.png



Or would you need an icon to overlaid on top of another icon, like the

shortcut one is over a folder?

Yes, I need something to overlay. The developer use the most  
appropriate icon for the action, and my library overlays the  
authorization emblem when the action need authorization.
Which icon can I use?

Thanks
