LUKS device is `/dev/<luks_device>`. + +First, you'll have to create the encrypted keyfile: + + dd if=/dev/random bs=1 count=256 | gpg --no-options --no-random-seed-file \ + --no-default-keyring --keyring /dev/null --secret-keyring /dev/null \ + --trustdb-name /dev/null --symmetric --output /etc/keys/cryptkey.gpg + +Next the LUKS device needs to be formated with the key. For that, the +`decrypt_gnupg` keyscript can be used: + + /lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_gnupg /etc/keys/cryptkey.gpg | \ + cryptsetup --key-file=- luksFormat /dev/<luks_device> + +In order to unlock the encrypted LUKS device automatically during boot process, +add the following to `/etc/crypttab`: + + cdev1 /dev/<luks_device> /etc/keys/cryptkey.gpg luks,discard,keyscript=decrypt_gnupg + + +Decrypting the keyfile at initramfs stage +----------------------------------------- + +If the device is to be unlocked at initramfs stage (such as for the root FS or +the resume device), the provided initramfs hooks should do all additionally +required work for you when the initramfs is created or updated. + +Be warned though, that for such devices the GnuPG encrypted key is copied to +the initramfs by the initramfs cryptgnupg hook. If you don't want this, you +should take a look at the initramfs cryptgnupg hook, which is located at +`/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptgnupg`. + + -- Jonas Meurer <jonas@freesources.org> Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:31:40 +0100 + + -- Guilhem Moulin <guilhem@guilhem.org> Sat, 17 Sep 2016 16:14:41 +0200 |
