Since you mention the fscrypt trusted-keys use case:

I noticed that the key length for trusted-keys is limited to
256 - 1024bit keys. fscrypt does however also support keys
with e.g. 128bit keys (AES-128-CBC-ESSIV, AES-128-CTS-CBC).
AFAIK, CAAM and TEE key blobs would also support key lengths outside the 256 - 1024bit range.

Wouldn’t it make sense to align the supported key lengths?
I.e. extend the range of supported key lengths for trusted keys.
Or is there a specific reason why key lengths below 256bit are
not supported by trusted-keys?

Cheers,
David
