crypto: Implement TLS Pre-Shared Keys (PSK).
Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) is a simpler mechanism for enabling TLS connections than using certificates. It requires only a simple secret key: $ mkdir -m 0700 /tmp/keys $ psktool -u rjones -p /tmp/keys/keys.psk $ cat /tmp/keys/keys.psk rjones:d543770c15ad93d76443fb56f501a31969235f47e999720ae8d2336f6a13fcbc The key can be secretly shared between clients and servers. Clients must specify the directory containing the "keys.psk" file and a username (defaults to "qemu"). Servers must specify only the directory. Example NBD client: $ qemu-img info \ --object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,dir=/tmp/keys,username=rjones,endpoint=client \ --image-opts \ file.driver=nbd,file.host=localhost,file.port=10809,file.tls-creds=tls0,file.export=/ Example NBD server using qemu-nbd: $ qemu-nbd -t -x / \ --object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/tmp/keys \ --tls-creds tls0 \ image.qcow2 Example NBD server using nbdkit: $ nbdkit -n -e / -fv \ --tls=on --tls-psk=/tmp/keys/keys.psk \ file file=disk.img Signed-off-by: Richard W.M.

+Creates a TLS Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) credentials object, which can be used to provide
+TLS support on network backends. The @option{id} parameter is a unique
+ID which network backends will use to access the credentials. The
+@option{endpoint} is either @option{server} or @option{client} depending
+on whether the QEMU network backend that uses the credentials will be
+acting as a client or as a server. For clients only, @option{username}
+is the username which will be sent to the server. If omitted
+it defaults to ``qemu''.
+
+The @var{dir} parameter tells QEMU where to find the keys file.
+It is called ``@var{dir}/keys.psk'' and contains ``username:key''
+pairs. This file can most easily be created using the GnuTLS
+@code{psktool} program.
+
+For server endpoints, @var{dir} may also contain a file
+@var{dh-params.pem} providing diffie-hellman parameters to use
+for the TLS server. If the file is missing, QEMU will generate
+a set of DH parameters at startup. This is a computationally
+expensive operation that consumes random pool entropy, so it is
+recommended that a persistent set of parameters be generated
+up front and saved.
