Hi Judah,

Do you have reference information for the following?

1. Overall boot time impact for a sample variable store?

-  In particular:
  - Initial HMAC calculation/verification time.
- Non-volatile write impact time to caluclate new store HMAC value and update MetaDataHmacVar.
  - Variable reclaim before and after time.

2. Overall non-volatile store size overhead impact with AES-CBC encrypted variables?

I understand these will vary based on system properties like SPI flash parameters, cryptographic processor details, etc. I'm trying to get an idea of the impact from sample data or averages on a particular system configuration. Also to learn whether the native encryption instruction (AES-NI) was used and if that could provide any benefit given the potential number of encryption/decryption operations introduced.

For the code design, I feel the ProtectedVariableLib interface is a bit too coupled against internal implementation details of the variable driver. I generally understand why the code is split out to wrap operations around the new functionality and it follows the AuthVarLib pattern but changing the library or driver will continue to require large changes across both like this due to the coupling.

Small things I noticed:
1. VariableKeyLib.inf should not be "BASE", it directly depends on PEI services
2. Typo "varabile" in some files
3. Does ProtectedVariableLibNull actually need to depend on BaseMemoryLib?

Thanks,
Michael
