This is somewhat cryptic explanation for the commmon and reoccuring
theme of having a fused random seed and a key derivation function.

I'd just write it is all about.

"DCP is able to derive private keys for a fused random seed, which
can be referenced by handle but not accessed by the CPU. These keys
can be used to perform AES encryption."

My explanation neither includes acronyms OTP and UK and still
delivers the message so much better. That actually further makes
it better because less crappy standard consortium terminology is
always better :-)
