This adds a key management system that stores (currently) two data encryption keys of length 128, 192, or 256 bits. The data keys are AES256 encrypted using a key encryption key, and validated via GCM cipher mode. A command to obtain the key encryption key must be specified at initdb time, and will be run at every database server start. New parameters allow a file descriptor open to the terminal to be passed. pg_upgrade support has also been added.
