The wrapping key does not exist by default and is generated by the hypervisor as a part of PKWM initialization. This key is then persisted by the hypervisor and is used to wrap trusted keys. These are variable length symmetric keys, which in the case of PowerVM Key Wrapping Module (PKWM) are generated using the kernel RNG. PKWM can be used as a trust source through the following example keyctl commands: keyctl add trusted my_trusted_key "new 32" @u Use the wrap_flags command option to set the secure boot requirement for the wrapping request through the following keyctl commands case1: no secure boot requirement. (default) keyctl usage: keyctl add trusted my_trusted_key "new 32" @u OR keyctl add trusted my_trusted_key "new 32 wrap_flags=0x00" @u case2: secure boot required to in either audit or enforce mode. set bit 0 keyctl usage: keyctl add trusted my_trusted_key "new 32 wrap_flags=0x01" @u case3: secure boot required to be in enforce mode. set bit 1 keyctl usage: keyctl add trusted my_trusted_key "new 32 wrap_flags=0x02" @u NOTE: -> Setting the secure boot requirement is NOT a must. -> Only either of the secure boot requirement options should be set. Not both. -> All the other bits are required to be not set. -> Set the kernel parameter trusted.source=pkwm to choose PKWM as the backend for trusted keys implementation. -> CONFIG_PSERIES_PLPKS must be enabled to build PKWM. Add PKWM, which is a combination of IBM PowerVM and Power LPAR Platform KeyStore, as a new trust source for trusted keys.
