Key Locker is a CPU feature to reduce key exfiltration opportunities while
maintaining a programming interface similar to AES-NI. It converts the AES
key into an encoded form, called the 'key handle'.
The key handle is a wrapped version of the clear-text key where the
wrapping key has limited exposure. Once converted via setkey(), all
subsequent data encryption using new AES instructions ('AES-KL') uses this
key handle, reducing the exposure of private key material in memory.
AES-KL is analogous to that of AES-NI. Most assembly code is translated
from the AES-NI code. They are operational in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes
like AES-NI. However, users need to be aware of the following differences:
== Key Handle ==
AES-KL may fail with an invalid key handle. It could be corrupted or fail
with handle restriction. A key handle may be encoded with some
restrictions. The implementation restricts every handle only available
in kernel mode via setkey().
=== AES Compliance ===
Key Locker is not AES compliant in that it lacks support for 192-bit keys.
However, per the expectations of Linux crypto-cipher implementations the
software cipher implementation must support all the AES compliant
key-sizes. The AES-KL cipher implementation achieves this constraint by
logging a warning and falling back to AES-NI. In other words the 192-bit
key-size limitation for what can be converted into a Key Locker key-handle
is only documented, not enforced. This along with the below performance and
failure mode implications is an end-user consideration for selecting AES-KL
vs AES-NI.
== API Limitation ==
The setkey() function transforms an AES key to a handle. An extended key is
a usual outcome of setkey() in other AES cipher implementations. For this
reason, a setkey() failure does not fall back to the other. So, AES-KL will
be exposed via synchronous interfaces only.
== Wrapping-key Restore Failure ==
The setkey() failure is also possible with the wrapping-key restore
failure. In an event of hardware failure, the wrapping key is lost from
deep sleep states. Then, setkey() will fail with the ENODEV error. And the
suspended data transforming task may resume but will fail due to the
wrapping key change.
== Performance ==
This feature comes with some performance penalties vs AES-NI. The
cryptsetup benchmark indicates Key Locker raw throughput can be ~5x slower
than AES-NI. For disk encryption, storage bandwidth may be the bottleneck
before encryption bandwidth, but the potential performance difference is
why AES-KL is advertised as a distinct cipher in /proc/crypto rather than
the kernel transparently replacing AES-NI usage with AES-KL.

+ Key Locker provides AES SIMD instructions (AES-KL) for secure
+ data encryption and decryption. While this new instruction
+ set is analogous to AES-NI, AES-KL supports to encode an AES
+ key to an encoded form ('key handle') and uses it to transform
+ data instead of accessing the AES key.
+
+ The setkey() transforms an AES key to a key handle, then the AES
+ key is no longer needed for data transformation. A user may
+ displace their keys from possible exposition.
+
+ This key encryption is done by the CPU-internal wrapping key.
+ This wrapping key support is provided with X86_KEYLOCKER.
+
+ AES-KL supports 128-/256-bit keys only. While giving a 192-bit
+ key does not return an error, as the AES-NI driver is chosen to
+ process it, the claimed security property is not available with
+ that.
+
+ Bare metal disk encryption is the preferred use case. Key Locker
+ usage requires explicit opt-in at setup time. So select it if
+ unsure.
