The Key Wrap approach is used by applications in order to protect keys
located in untrusted storage or transmitted over untrusted
communications networks. The constructions are typically built from
standard primitives such as block ciphers and cryptographic hash
functions.

The Key Wrap method and its parameters are a secret between the keys
provider and the device, means that the device is preconfigured for
this method using very secured way.

The key wrap method may change the key length and layout.

Add a description for the cipher transformation key to allow wrapped key
to be forwarded by the same API.

How will the driver gets notified whether the key is wrapped or not?
The driver would expect the keys are as per the capabilities exposed.
If it does not check as per the capabilities, how will it identify a bad
Key len and the wrapped key length?
