A key protector encapsulates functionality to retrieve an unlocking key
for a fully-encrypted disk from a specific source. A key protector
module registers itself with the key protectors framework when it is
loaded and unregisters when unloaded. Additionally, a key protector may
accept parameters that describe how it should operate.
The key protectors framework, besides offering registration and
unregistration functions, also offers a one-stop routine for finding and
invoking a key protector by name. If a key protector with the specified
name exists and if an unlocking key is successfully retrieved by it, the
function returns to the caller the retrieved key and its length.
