A normal keyring is a keyring that do not belong to any group (bit21-25 are all zeroes). It can be written by slaves of groups, and also by normal non-keyring operations. They can write to ?a normal keyring or to external memory?.
A master keyring can only write into a slave keyring belonging to the same group(s) as itself. A master keyring cannot write into a non-slave keyring or external memory.
A slave keyring can write to a normal keyring or to external memory, but not to a master keyring.
VULN!! If a keyring has AesDecryptAllowed flag, it is possible to encrypt arbitrary AES blocks without AesEncryptAllowed flag by using AES CTR mode.

When Keyring is set to src, only slots with the 0x1000 flag can be targeted. Selecting a slot that does not have 0x1000 will only read zeros.

DES algorithms
Unlike for Dmac5, DES is not supported for keyring Controller.
DES is DMAC only. If running on Bigmac, it triggered hang up. (is this true?)
If keysize is 128 or 192, DES is in fact 3DES.
If both DES and SHA bits are set, DES bit is ignored and SHA command is executed.

The following commands are known to be able to write keyrings:
* AesEcbEncrypt/Decrypt:
Size is rounded up to multiple of 4.
If size > 16, size = 16.
Read |size| bytes from |src| into HW state.
The remaining 16-|size| bytes of state *ARE KEPT FROM RESULT OF PREVIOUS AES OPERATION*.
VULN! This allows key recovery of all slave keyrings during boot.
The key written to keyring is always 16 bytes long, padded with 00's.
* AesCbcEncrypt/Decrypt: Size is rounded up to multiple of 4.
* AesCtrEncrypt/Decrypt: Size is rounded up to multiple of 4.
* AesCmac Puts the 16 byte hash into keyring.
Bytes 16-31 are *FORCED* 0.
* Sha1: Puts the 20 byte hash into keyring.
Bytes 20-31 are *FORCED* 0.
* Sha224: Puts the 28 byte hash into keyring.
Bytes 28-31 are *FORCED* 0.
* Sha256: Puts the 32 byte hash into keyring.
* HmacSha1 Probably same as Sha1.
* HmacSha256 Probably same as Sha256.
* Rng
AesCtrEncrypt when having a keyring dst, still reads from src.
VULN! Any SHA with length==0 produces an output of all zeroes!
