OK. The implementation is in security/keys/trusted.c, right? This talks directly to the TPM. Also the code in security/keys/encrypted-keys/ explicitly uses the interface in keys/trusted-type.h. Now I'm not sure how to best allow using the CAAM as an alternative to = a TPM. Would we have different "backends" in the trusted keys implementation so that for example encrypted keys don't need to know about the difference? Otherwise we would need to add another key type ("trusted-caam?"). Then we'd need to add code to support trusted-caam keys wherever we already support trusted(-tpm) keys? Do you have a suggestion on how we should proceed?
