Allow the use of per-sector metadata, provided by the dm-integrity
module, for integrity protection and persistently stored per-sector
Initialization Vector (IV). The underlying device must support the
"DM-DIF-EXT-TAG" dm-integrity profile.
The per-bio integrity metadata is allocated by dm-crypt for every bio.
Example of low-level mapping table for various types of use:
DEV=/dev/sdb
SIZE=417792
# Additional HMAC with CBC-ESSIV, key is concatenated encryption key + HMAC key
SIZE_INT=389952
dmsetup create x --table "0 $SIZE_INT integrity $DEV 0 32 J 0"
dmsetup create y --table "0 $SIZE_INT crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 \

Both AEAD and HMAC protection authenticates not only data but also
sector metadata.
HMAC protection is implemented through autenc wrapper (so it is
processed the same way as an authenticated mode).
In HMAC mode there are two keys (concatenated in dm-crypt mapping
table). First is the encryption key and the second is the key for
authentication (HMAC). (It is userspace decision if these keys are
independent or somehow derived.)
The sector request for AEAD/HMAC authenticated encryption looks like this:
|----- AAD -------|------ DATA -------|-- AUTH TAG --|
| (authenticated) | (auth+encryption) | |
| sector_LE | IV | sector in/out | tag in/out |
For writes, the integrity fields are calculated during AEAD encryption
of every sector and stored in bio integrity fields and sent to
underlying dm-integrity target for storage.
For reads, the integrity metadata is verified during AEAD decryption of
every sector (they are filled in by dm-integrity, but the integrity
fields are pre-allocated in dm-crypt).
There is also an experimental support in cryptsetup utility for more
friendly configuration (part of LUKS2 format).
Because the integrity fields are not valid on initial creation, the
device must be "formatted". This can be done by direct-io writes to the
device (e.g. dd in direct-io mode). For now, there is available trivial
tool to do this, see: https://github.com/mbroz/dm_int_tools
