Trusted Keys
------------
-New keys are created from random numbers generated in the trust source. They
-are encrypted/decrypted using a child key in the storage key hierarchy.
-Encryption and decryption of the child key must be protected by a strong
-access control policy within the trust source.
+New keys are created from random numbers. They are encrypted/decrypted using
+a child key in the storage key hierarchy. Encryption and decryption of the
+child key must be protected by a strong access control policy within the
+trust source. The random number generator in use differs according to the
+selected trust source:
- * TPM (hardware device) based RNG
+ * TPM: hardware device based RNG
- Strength of random numbers may vary from one device manufacturer to
- another.
+ Keys are generated within the TPM. Strength of random numbers may vary
+ from one device manufacturer to another.
- * TEE (OP-TEE based on Arm TrustZone) based RNG
+ * TEE: OP-TEE based on Arm TrustZone based RNG
RNG is customizable as per platform needs. It can either be direct output
from platform specific hardware RNG or a software based Fortuna CSPRNG
which can be seeded via multiple entropy sources.
+Users may override this by specifying ``trusted.rng=kernel`` on the kernel
+command-line to override the used RNG with the kernel's random number pool.
