- Trusted and Encrypted Keys
+==========================
+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 symmetric keys,
authorization value (20 zeros). This can be set at takeownership time with the
trouser's utility: "tpm_takeownership -u -z".
-Usage:
+Usage::
+
keyctl add trusted name "new keylen [options]" ring
keyctl add trusted name "load hex_blob [pcrlock=pcrnum]" ring
keyctl update key "update [options]"
key or a more complex structure. The format of the more complex structure is
application specific, which is identified by 'format'.
-Usage:
+Usage::
+
keyctl add encrypted name "new [format] key-type:master-key-name keylen"
ring
keyctl add encrypted name "load hex_blob" ring
keyctl update keyid "update key-type:master-key-name"
-format:= 'default | ecryptfs'
-key-type:= 'trusted' | 'user'
+Where::
+
+ format:= 'default | ecryptfs'
+ key-type:= 'trusted' | 'user'
Examples of trusted and encrypted key usage:
-Create and save a trusted key named "kmk" of length 32 bytes:
+Create and save a trusted key named "kmk" of length 32 bytes::
$ keyctl add trusted kmk "new 32" @u
440502848
$ keyctl pipe 440502848 > kmk.blob
-Load a trusted key from the saved blob:
+Load a trusted key from the saved blob::
$ keyctl add trusted kmk "load `cat kmk.blob`" @u

-Reseal a trusted key under new pcr values:

values, protects against boot and offline attacks. Create and save an
encrypted key "evm" using the above trusted key "kmk":

$ keyctl add encrypted evm "new trusted:kmk 32" @u

-option 2: explicitly defining 'format' as 'default'

$ keyctl add encrypted evm "new default trusted:kmk 32" @u

are anticipated. In particular the new format 'ecryptfs' has been defined in
in order to use encrypted keys to mount an eCryptfs filesystem. More details
about the usage can be found in the file
