Subject: [dm-crypt] unlocking dm-crypt from grub - kernel in crypted volume
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 11:14:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E536F5E.7020003@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
There seems to be some support for dm-crypt in grub, such that you can
store the kernel in the encrypted volume, and only have grub
unencrypted. This makes the attack vector a lot smaller, however, it is
unclear to me if there is any development on this subject. For example
passing the password in a safe way from grub to the kernel might be
useful to make such a solution acceptable for end users.
Is there news on this development?
Olivier
