This series of patches to eCryptfs introduces support for associating multiple keys with individual files. When mounting, eCryptfs will register one key for each key signature/identifier specified by an ecryptfs_sig= mount option. These keys will all be used to encrypt the FEK for each eCryptfs inode. This patch set also adds support for searching the user's keyring for keys when opening existing files; this allows the user to add keys to his keyring at any time, and eCryptfs will use those keys to open files protected by those keys.
