We use authenticated encryption, and that deserves mention. This in
particular relevant as the fact they are authenticated makes the
credentials useful as initrd parameterization items.
This is supposed to be useful when generating credentials for immutable
initrd environments, where it is is relevant to support credentials even
on systems lacking a TPM2 chip.
With this, if `systemd-creds encrypt --with-key=auto-initrd` is used a
credential will be encrypted/signed with the TPM2 if it is available and
recognized by the firmware. Otherwise it will be encrypted/signed with
the fixed empty key, thus providing no confidentiality or authenticity.
The idea is that distributions use this mode to generically create
credentials that are as locked down as possible on the specific
platform.
