Description
Systemd has the capability of extracting blobs from UEFI and stuffing them onto a keyring: systemd. TLS-enabled storage tools can then direct tlshd to a particular key and/or keyring to obtain authentication material instead of tlshd reading it from a file.

Research direction
Read the systemd BOOT documentation linked in the issue and review related issue #30 to understand the expected UEFI-to-keyring flow. Then identify the tlshd integration points for selecting a key or keyring; done should mean TLS-enabled storage tools can use authentication material populated from UEFI at boot.
