I don't mean to discourage you, but every additional complexity comes at
risk and it case of GELI this is security risk. What is missing in your
work is explanation how it that useful for the users? How do you use it?
First I need to understand and be convinced that this functionality is
generally useful and thus is worth additional complexity and risk.
