Subject: [ACTIVITY] (Binoy Jayan) 2017-05-08 to 2017-05-15

=== Binoy Jayan ===

=== Highlights ===

dm-crypt optimization
 - No progress

dm-crypt:store keys in secure storage
 - Read OPTEE ClientAPI specification to figure out how to
   communicate with optee from a client application
 - No examples available for using client api from kernel
   so need to figure that out using the offline patch
   https://github.com/linaro-swg/linux/commit/860c46087c99c24073cc722b12c0017bb0ce0a79
 - Suspending work until key framework is available
   instead of using the secure storage API

=== Plans ===

y2038: security/keys
  - Investigate y2038 issues identified in the keys subsystem (security/keys)

=== Miscellaneous ===

 - OOO 24th May - 31st May
