			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.

The decrypted portion of encrypted keys can contain either a simple symmetric
key or a more complex structure. The format of the more complex structure is
application specific, which is identified by 'format'.

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'


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
           -3 --alswrv    500   500  keyring: _ses

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.  Create and save an
encrypted key "evm" using the above trusted key "kmk":

option 1: omitting 'format'
    $ keyctl add encrypted evm "new trusted:kmk 32" @u
    159771175

option 2: explicitly defining 'format' as 'default'
    $ keyctl add encrypted evm "new default trusted:kmk 32" @u
    159771175

    $ keyctl print 159771175
    default trusted:kmk 32 2375725ad57798846a9bbd240de8906f006e66c03af53b1b3

    24717c64 5972dcb82ab2dde83376d82b2e3c09ffc

    $ keyctl pipe 159771175 > evm.blob

Load an encrypted key "evm" from saved blob:

    $ keyctl add encrypted evm "load `cat evm.blob`" @u
    831684262

    $ keyctl print 831684262
    default trusted:kmk 32 2375725ad57798846a9bbd240de8906f006e66c03af53b1b3

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
in order to use encrypted keys to mount an eCryptfs filesystem.  More details
about the usage can be found in the file
'Documentation/security/keys-ecryptfs.txt'.
