You maybe didn't receive my answer sent from gmail web-interface, so I repeat it now from mutt.
Usages of derived keys that I can see:
kernel space:
derive keys from "trusted" (with possibility to access from user space if proper permissions are set);
user space:
store passwords within keyrings;
randomly generated keys, keys with payload given as hex string.
What's your opinion on having derived keytype?
