+			Trusted and Encrypted Keys
+
+Trusted and Encrypted Keys are two new key types added to the existing kernel
+key ring service.  Both of these new types are variable length symmetic keys,
+and in both cases all keys are created in the kernel, and user space sees,
+stores, and loads only encrypted blobs.  Trusted Keys require the availability
+of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip for greater security, while Encrypted
+Keys can be used on any system.  All user level blobs, are displayed and loaded
+in hex ascii for convenience, and are integrity verified.
+
+Trusted Keys use a TPM both to generate and to seal the keys.  Keys are sealed
+under a 2048 bit RSA key in the TPM, and optionally sealed to specified PCR
+(integrity measurement) values, and only unsealed by the TPM, if PCRs and blob
+integrity verifications match.  A loaded Trusted Key can be updated with new
+(future) PCR values, so keys are easily migrated to new pcr values, such as
+when the kernel and initramfs are updated.  The same key can have many saved
+blobs under different PCR values, so multiple boots are easily supported.
+
+By default, trusted keys are sealed under the SRK, which has the default
+authorization value (20 zeros).  This can be set at takeownership time with the
+trouser's utility: "tpm_takeownership -u -z".
+
+Usage:
+    keyctl add trusted name "new keylen [options]" ring
+    keyctl add trusted name "load hex_blob [pcrlock=pcrnum]" ring
+    keyctl update key "update [options]"
+    keyctl print keyid
+
+    options:
+       keyhandle= ascii hex value of sealing key default 0x40000000 (SRK)
+       keyauth=	  ascii hex auth for sealing key default 0x00...i
+		  (40 ascii zeros)
+       blobauth=  ascii hex auth for sealed data default 0x00...
+		  (40 ascii zeros)
+       blobauth=  ascii hex auth for sealed data default 0x00...
+		  (40 ascii zeros)
+       pcrinfo=	  ascii hex of PCR_INFO or PCR_INFO_LONG (no default)
+       pcrlock=	  pcr number to be extended to "lock" blob
+       migratable= 0|1 indicating permission to reseal to new PCR values,
+                   default 1 (resealing allowed)
+
+"keyctl print" returns an ascii hex copy of the sealed key, which is in standard
+TPM_STORED_DATA format.  The key length for new keys are always in bytes.
+Trusted Keys can be 32 - 128 bytes (256 - 1024 bits), the upper limit is to fit
+within the 2048 bit SRK (RSA) keylength, with all necessary structure/padding.
+
+Encrypted keys do not depend on a TPM, and are faster, as they use AES for
+encryption/decryption.  New keys are created from kernel generated random
+numbers, and are encrypted/decrypted using a specified 'master' key.  The
+'master' key can either be a trusted-key or user-key type.  The main
+disadvantage of encrypted keys is that if they are not rooted in a trusted key,
+they are only as secure as the user key encrypting them.  The master user key
+should therefore be loaded in as secure a way as possible, preferably early in
+boot.
+
+Usage:
+  keyctl add encrypted name "new key-type:master-key-name keylen" ring
+  keyctl add encrypted name "load hex_blob" ring
+  keyctl update keyid "update key-type:master-key-name"
+
+where 'key-type' is either 'trusted' or 'user'.
+
+Examples of trusted and encrypted key usage:
+
+Create and save a trusted key named "kmk" of length 32 bytes:
+
+    $ keyctl add trusted kmk "new 32" @u
+    440502848
+
+    $ keyctl show
+    Session Keyring

+     97833714 --alswrv    500    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.500
+    440502848 --alswrv    500   500       \_ trusted: kmk

+The initial consumer of trusted keys is EVM, which at boot time needs a high
+quality symmetric key for HMAC protection of file metadata.  The use of a
+trusted key provides strong guarantees that the EVM key has not been
+compromised by a user level problem, and when sealed to specific boot PCR
+values, protects against boot and offline attacks.  Other uses for trusted and
+encrypted keys, such as for disk and file encryption are anticipated.
