Hi everybody!

I'm using secure boot + flash encryption with custom keys burned in Efuse block1 and block2. So these keys are known to me and I can encrypt some portion of data and send it to ESP in some way (TCP/IP for example). Can I decrypt this data like system APIs using keys in Efuse?

No those keys are protected so you may as well just store another key in encrypted flash and use that.

But how spi_flash_write_encrypted can encrypt data with that keys? I don't want to read key bytes, I just want to ask CPU to encrypt/decrypt something instead of flash with these keys (like bootloader or other components do).

In case of encryption, ciphertext is passed straight to SPI controller, bypassing the CPU.
