[v9,2/7] KEYS: trusted: allow use of kernel RNG for key material

Commit Message

Ahmad Fatoum May 6, 2022, 6:25 a.m. UTC

The two existing trusted key sources don't make use of the kernel RNG,
but instead let the hardware doing the sealing/unsealing also
generate the random key material. However, both users and future
backends may want to place less trust into the quality of the trust
source's random number generator and instead reuse the kernel entropy
pool, which can be seeded from multiple entropy sources.

Make this possible by adding a new trusted.rng parameter,
that will force use of the kernel RNG. In its absence, it's up
to the trust source to decide, which random numbers to use,
maintaining the existing behavior.

+New keys are created from random numbers. They are encrypted/decrypted using

+  *  TPM: hardware device based RNG
 
-     Strength of random numbers may vary from one device manufacturer to

-  *  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.
