+DCP Blob Format
+---------------
+
+The Data Co-Processor (DCP) provides hardware-bound AES keys using its
+AES encryption engine only. It does not provide direct key sealing/unsealing.
+To make DCP hardware encryption keys usable as trust source, we define
+our own custom format that uses a hardware-bound key to secure the sealing
+key stored in the key blob.
+
+Whenever a new trusted key using DCP is generated, we generate a random 128-bit
+blob encryption key (BEK) and 128-bit nonce. The BEK and nonce are used to
+encrypt the trusted key payload using AES-128-GCM.
+
+The BEK itself is encrypted using the hardware-bound key using the DCP's AES
+encryption engine with AES-128-ECB. The encrypted BEK, generated nonce,
+BEK-encrypted payload and authentication tag make up the blob format together
+with a version number, payload length and authentication tag::
+
+ /*
+ * struct dcp_blob_fmt - DCP BLOB format.
+ *
+ * @fmt_version: Format version, currently being %1
+ * @blob_key: Random AES 128 key which is used to encrypt @payload,
+ * @blob_key itself is encrypted with OTP or UNIQUE device key
in
+ * AES-128-ECB mode by DCP.
+ * @nonce: Random nonce used for @payload encryption.
+ * @payload_len: Length of the plain text @payload.
+ * @payload: The payload itself, encrypted using AES-128-GCM and @blob_key,
+ * GCM auth tag of size AES_BLOCK_SIZE is attached at the end of
it.
