In ossl_aes256_encrypt_init, the cipher methodalways initialises to aes-256-cbc, which is ok for keywrap because under CBC block cipher mode, we only had to supplyone unique IV as initial value. But for actual WAL and buffer encryption that will come in later, I think the discussionis to use CTR block cipher mode, which requires one unique IV for each block, and the sequence id from WAL andbuffer can be used to derive unique IV for each block for better security? I think it would be better to allow callerto decide which EVP_CIPHER to initialize?

We can expand it to make caller decide the block cipher mode of operation and key length. I removed such code from the previous patch to make it simple since currently we support only AES-256 CBC. > > 3) Following up point 2), I think we should enhance the enum to include not only the Encryption algorithm and key size,but also the block cipher mode as well because having all 3 pieces of information can describe exactly how KMS is performingthe encryption and decryption. So when we call "ossl_aes256_encrypt_init", we can include the new enum as inputparameter and it will initialise the EVP_CIPHER_CTX with either EVP_aes_256_cbc() or EVP_aes_256_ctr() for differentpurposes (key wrapping, or WAL encryption..etc). > > ---> kmgr.h > +/* Value of key_management_cipher */ > +enum > +{ > + KMGR_CIPHER_OFF = 0, > + KMGR_CIPHER_AES256 > +}; > + > > so it would become > +enum > +{ > + KMGR_CIPHER_OFF = 0, > + KMGR_CIPHER_AES256_CBC = 1, > + KMGR_CIPHER_AES256_CTR = 2 > +}; > > If you agree with this change, several other places will need to be changed as well, such as "kmgr_cipher_string", "kmgr_cipher_value"and the initdb code.... KMGR_CIPHER_XXX is relevant with cipher mode used by KMS and KMS would still use AES256 CBC even if we had TDE which would use AES256 CTR. After more thoughts, I think currently we can specify -e aes-256 to initdb but actually this is not necessary. When --cluster-passphrase-command specified, we enable the internal KMS and always use AES256 CBC. Something like -e option will be needed after supporting TDE with several cipher options.

It is currently not possible for a user to obtainthe wrapped key from the server in order to use these wrap/unwrap functions. I personally don't think it is a goodidea to expose these functions to user Thank you for testing. I'm going to include regression tests and documentation in the next version patch.
