Key Locker [1][2] is a new security feature available in new Intel CPUs to protect data encryption keys for the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm. The protection limits the amount of time an AES key is exposed in memory by sealing a key and referencing it with new AES instructions.
The new AES instruction set is a successor of Intel's AES-NI (AES New Instruction). Users may switch to the Key Locker version from crypto libraries. This series includes a new AES implementation for the Crypto API, which was validated through the crypto unit tests. The performance in the test cases was measured and found comparable to the AES-NI version. Key Locker introduces a (CPU-)internal key to encode AES keys. The kernel needs to load it and ensure it unchanged as long as CPUs are operational. The series has three parts: * PATCH1-6: Implement the internal key management * PATCH7: Add AES implementation in Crypto library * PATCH8: Provide the hardware randomization option for the internal key This RFC series has been reviewed by Dan Williams, with an open question of whether to use hardware backup/restore, or to synchronize reinitialize the internal key over suspend / resume to avoid the implications of key restore failures.
