I'm not shure at all if I understand correctly what you have in mind, but
to unlock a LUKS/dmcrypt partition, you have to provide the correct passphrase/keyfile.
If you do not, there is no way other than bruteforcing it or an attack towards the
encryption itself. The master key itself stays fully encrypted.
