Encrypted keys for the eCryptfs filesystem
  
  ECryptfs is a stacked filesystem which transparently encrypts and decrypts each
  file using a randomly generated File Encryption Key (FEK).
  
  Each FEK is in turn encrypted with a File Encryption Key Encryption Key (FEFEK)
  either in kernel space or in user space with a daemon called 'ecryptfsd'.  In
  the former case the operation is performed directly by the kernel CryptoAPI
  using a key, the FEFEK, derived from a user prompted passphrase;  in the latter
  the FEK is encrypted by 'ecryptfsd' with the help of external libraries in order
  to support other mechanisms like public key cryptography, PKCS#11 and TPM based
  operations.
  
  The data structure defined by eCryptfs to contain information required for the
  FEK decryption is called authentication token and, currently, can be stored in a
  kernel key of the 'user' type, inserted in the user's session specific keyring
  by the userspace utility 'mount.ecryptfs' shipped with the package
  'ecryptfs-utils'.
  
  The 'encrypted' key type has been extended with the introduction of the new
  format 'ecryptfs' in order to be used in conjunction with the eCryptfs
  filesystem.  Encrypted keys of the newly introduced format store an
  authentication token in its payload with a FEFEK randomly generated by the
  kernel and protected by the parent master key.
  
  In order to avoid known-plaintext attacks, the datablob obtained through
  commands 'keyctl print' or 'keyctl pipe' does not contain the overall
  authentication token, which content is well known, but only the FEFEK in
  encrypted form.
  
  The eCryptfs filesystem may really benefit from using encrypted keys in that the
  required key can be securely generated by an Administrator and provided at boot
  time after the unsealing of a 'trusted' key in order to perform the mount in a
  controlled environment.  Another advantage is that the key is not exposed to
  threats of malicious software, because it is available in clear form only at
  kernel level.
  
  Usage:
     keyctl add encrypted name "new ecryptfs key-type:master-key-name keylen" ring
     keyctl add encrypted name "load hex_blob" ring
     keyctl update keyid "update key-type:master-key-name"
  
  name:= '<16 hexadecimal characters>'
  key-type:= 'trusted' | 'user'
  keylen:= 64
  
  
  Example of encrypted key usage with the eCryptfs filesystem:
  
  Create an encrypted key "1000100010001000" of length 64 bytes with format
  'ecryptfs' and save it using a previously loaded user key "test":
  
      $ keyctl add encrypted 1000100010001000 "new ecryptfs user:test 64" @u
      19184530
  
      $ keyctl print 19184530
      ecryptfs user:test 64 490045d4bfe48c99f0d465fbbbb79e7500da954178e2de0697

      9d292e4bacded1258880122dd553a661
  
      $ keyctl pipe 19184530 > ecryptfs.blob
  
  Mount an eCryptfs filesystem using the created encrypted key "1000100010001000"
  into the '/secret' directory:
  
      $ mount -i -t ecryptfs -oecryptfs_sig=1000100010001000,\
        ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32 /secret /secret
