+    Key used for encryption. It is encoded either as a hexadecimal number
+    or it can be passed as <key_string> prefixed with single colon
+    character (':') for keys residing in kernel keyring service.
     You can only use key sizes that are valid for the selected cipher
     in combination with the selected iv mode.
     Note that for some iv modes the key string can contain additional
     keys (for example IV seed) so the key contains more parts concatenated
     into a single string.
 
+<key_string>
+    The kernel keyring key is identified by string in following format:
+    <key_size>:<key_type>:<key_description>.
+
+<key_size>
+    The encryption key size in bytes. The kernel key payload size must match
+    the value passed in <key_size>.
+
+<key_type>
+    Either 'logon' or 'user' kernel key type.
+
+<key_description>
+    The kernel keyring key description crypt target should look for

     Multi-key compatibility mode. You can define <keycount> keys and
     then sectors are encrypted according to their offsets (sector 0 uses key0;
