[PATCH v2 23/40] docs: security: keys: trusted-encrypted.rst: Use ASCII subset instead of UTF-8 alternate symbols

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Date: Wed May 12 2021 - 08:54:19 EST


The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/Markdown->ReST conversion
and some automatic rules which exists on certain text editors like
LibreOffice turned ASCII characters into some UTF-8 alternatives that
are better displayed on html and PDF.

While it is OK to use UTF-8 characters in Linux, it is better to
use the ASCII subset instead of using an UTF-8 equivalent character
as it makes life easier for tools like grep, and are easier to edit
with the some commonly used text/source code editors.

Also, Sphinx already do such conversion automatically outside literal blocks:
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/smartquotes.html

So, replace the occurences of the following UTF-8 characters:

- U+2018 ('‘'): LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
- U+2019 ('’'): RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

Encrypted keys do not depend on a trust source, and are faster, as they use AES
for encryption/decryption. New keys are created from kernel-generated random
-numbers, and are encrypted/decrypted using a specified ‘master’ key. The

+'master' key can either be a trusted-key or user-key type. The main disadvantage
of encrypted keys is that if they are not rooted in a trusted key, they are only
as secure as the user key encrypting them. The master user key should therefore
be loaded in as secure a way as possible, preferably early in boot.
