            Bug ID: 243676
           Summary: geom_eli geli: Erroneously accepts weak (short) keys
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: cem at freebsd.org

Entropy is cheap.  We should reject keyfiles smaller than 256 bits at
initialization time.  At attach, we should clearly continue allowing people to
access their existing volumes, but maybe a warning would be appropriate? 
Today, GELI allows initialization with small and empty keyfiles (init -K,
attach -k).  These should be rejected.
