I can't parse this. the systemd credentials stuff are not just for passing secrets or so. They can be used for any kind of config option. And they are not just encrypted but also authenticated. That means we can use them to pass root device info (i.e. a string like /dev/disk/by-uuid/…) in. For that the encryption doesn't matter, but the authentication does, as we can use the info safely after authentication, since we know it was encoded by someone who had the permission to do so.
