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/) * keyutils and linux with `CONFIG_KEYS` * [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 ----- ### config files `/etc/crypttab.initramfs` and `/etc/ykfde.conf` 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` - Usually there is already an entry for your 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 minimal 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! ### key setup `ykfde` will read its information from these files and understands some additional options. Run `ykfde --help` for details. 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. Adding a key with second factor is as easy: > ykfde -s 2nd-factor And updating key and second factor is straight forward: > ykfde -s old-2nd-factor -n new-2nd-factor Make sure to enable second factor in `/etc/ykfde.conf`. ### cpio archive with challenges Every time you update a challenge and/or a second factor run: > ykfde-cpio This will write a cpio archive `/boot/ykfde-challenges.img` containing your current challenges. Enable systemd service `ykfde` to do this automatically on every boot: > systemctl enable ykfde.service ### mkinitcpio hook `ykfde` Last add `ykfde` to your hook list in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`. You should already have `systemd` and `sd-encrypt` there as a `systemd`-enabled initramfs is prerequisite. Now rebuild your initramfs with: > mkinitcpio -p linux ### boot loader Update you `grub` configuration by running: > grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg This will add new boot entry that loads the challenges. With other boot loaders make sure to load the cpio archive `/boot/ykfde-challenges.img` as additional initramfs. Reboot and have fun!
