Do you mean to say that the database encryption plugin doesn't know about the keyname used for encryption? That seems rather odd.

  At the point when encryption plugin knows database key, no application callback is possible: callback function is replaced by server a way before that.
   It can work in embedded mode though, but for Jaybird it is irrelevant.

I repeat that I find that odd. I think that the keyname could be a relevant piece of information to select the right key for a response from client to server (eg from a client-local keystore), or to even be part of a crude form of validation (ie: sending the key to the right party, or at least a party that knows the name of the key).
