+Full disk encryption with Yubikey (Yubico key) for mkinitcpio
+=============================================================
+
+This allows to automatically unlock a LUKS encrypted hard disk from `systemd`-
+enabled initramfs.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+To compile and use yubikey full disk encryption you need:
+
+* [yubikey-personalization](https://github.com/Yubico/yubikey-personalization)
+* [iniparser](http://ndevilla.free.fr/iniparser/)
+* [systemd](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/)
+* [cryptsetup](http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/)
+* [mkinitcpio](https://projects.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio.git/)
+* [markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) (HTML documentation)
+* [libarchive](http://www.libarchive.org/) (Update challenge on boot)
+
+Additionally it is expected to have `make` and `pkg-config` around to
+successfully compile.
+
+Build and install
+-----------------
+
+Building and installing is very easy. Just run:
+
+> make
+
+followed by:
+
+> make install-mkinitcpio
+
+This will place files to their desired places in filesystem.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Make sure systemd knows about your encrypted device by
+adding a line to `/etc/crypttab.initramfs`. It should read like:
+
+> `mapping-name` /dev/`LUKS-device` -
+
+Update `/etc/ykfde.conf` with correct settings. Add `mapping-name` from
+above to `device name` in the `general` section. Then add a new section
+with your key's decimal serial number containing the key slot setting.
+The file should look like this:
+
+    [general]
+    device name = crypt
+
+    [1234567]
+    luks slot = 1
+
+*Be warned*: Do not remove or overwrite your interactive key! Keep that
+for backup and rescue!
+
+`ykfde` will read its information from these files. Then prepare
+the key. Plug it in, make sure it is configured for `HMAC-SHA1`.
+After that run:
+
+> ykfde
+
+This will store a challenge in `/etc/ykfde.d/` and add a new slot to
+your LUKS device. When `ykfde` asks for a password it requires a valid
+password from available slot.
+
+Now you have two choices. Use *either of both* hooks, depending on whether
+you want to update challenge/response on every boot (`ykfde-cpio`) or
+not (`ykfde`).
+
+### `ykfde` hook
+
+Last add `ykfde` to your hook list in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf` and rebuild
+your initramfs with:
+
+> mkinitcpio -p linux
+
+Reboot and have fun!
+
+### `ykfde-cpio` hook
+
+Add `ykfde-cpio` to your hook list in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf` and rebuild
+your initramfs with:
+
+> mkinitcpio -p linux
+
+Additionally enable `systemd` service `ykfde-cpio.service` and make your
+bootloader load the new `cpio` image `/boot/ykfde-challenges.img` (in
+addition to your usual initramfs).
+
+Reboot and have fun!
