[PATCH v2] Instantiate key with user-provided decrypted data.

Mon Dec 13 19:20:30 UTC 2021


The encrypted.c class supports instantiation of encrypted keys with
either an already-encrypted key material, or by generating new key
material based on random numbers. To support encryption of
user-provided decrypted data, this patch defines a new datablob
format: [<format>] <master-key name> <decrypted data length>
<decrypted data>.

Notes:
    v -> v2: fixed compilation error.

 Encrypted keys do not depend on a trust source, and are faster, as they use AES
-for encryption/decryption. New keys are created from kernel-generated random
-numbers, and are encrypted/decrypted using a specified ‘master’ key. The
-‘master’ key can either be a trusted-key or user-key type. The main disadvantage
-of encrypted keys is that if they are not rooted in a trusted key, they are only
-as secure as the user key encrypting them. The master user key should therefore
-be loaded in as secure a way as possible, preferably early in boot.

 Other uses for trusted and encrypted keys, such as for disk and file encryption
 are anticipated.  In particular the new format 'ecryptfs' has been defined
 in order to use encrypted keys to mount an eCryptfs filesystem.  More details
