  14 Description: Fetch or serve cryptographic keys over a network.
  15  The udpkey program can fetch key data from remote servers using a simple
  16  UDP-baed cryptographic protocol; or can can run as a server, providing key
  17  material on request to authorized clients.
  18  .
  19  When running as a client, the program fetches key fragments from multiple
  20  sources, combining them together.  It can read key fragments from local
  21  files or request them from servers.  Key data can be split among many
  22  servers for increased security, and individual fragments can be held on and
  23  requested from multiple servers for increased availability.
  24  .
  25  The client can be run in early userland, e.g., in initramfs, to obtain key
  26  material for decrypting a server's disks.
  27  .
  28  When running as a server, the program responds to requests, verifying that
  29  the client is authorized, and encrypting the requested key fragment with the
  30  appropriate client-specific public key.
