I am using dmsetup directly in my project. I am not familiar with cryptsetup
plain. What benefits do you see with this over direct dmsetup?

What I'd like to see eventually is support for this with LUKS.
There is a RFE on trusted keys and cryptsetup on the project's repository[1].

The behavior I'd want it that the LUKS header would point at the trusted key
blob to use and load it into the kernel. This of course means that
you won't be able to have multiple keys for the encrypted partition.
