There is an encrypted copy of the disk key in each slot. The key for each
slot appears to be a string. It can be entered as a passphrass or a key
file. That much is clear from the cryptsetup documentation. You had
mentioned a public key system before, but I don't think that makes much
sense to use. The key file allows you to use keys with lots of entropy, but
the advantage to that is somewhat negated if the users will have passphrases
of their choosing that they use to get at the disks.
