For availability and performance reasons master keys often need to be
released outside of a Key Management Service (KMS) to clients. It
would be beneficial to provide a mechanism where the
wrapping/unwrapping of data encryption keys (DEKs) is not dependent
on a remote call at runtime yet security is not (or only minimally)
compromised. Master keys could be securely stored in the Kernel and
be used to wrap/unwrap keys from Userspace.
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. This patch defines a new datablob
format: [<format>] <master-key name> <decrypted data length>
<decrypted data> that allows to inject and encrypt user-provided
decrypted data. The decrypted data must be hex-ascii encoded.

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
