mkinitcpio-ykfde ================ **Full disk encryption with Yubikey (Yubico key)** This allows to automatically unlock a LUKS encrypted hard disk from `systemd`- enabled initramfs. Requirements ------------ To compile and use yubico 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/) (Though it may be easy to port this to any initramfs that uses systemd) * [markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) (HTML documentation) 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 This will place files to their desired places in filesystem. Usage ----- First prepare the key. Plug it in, make sure it is configured for HMAC- SHA1, then run: > ykfde -d /dev/`LUKS-device` This will add a new slot to your LUKS device. Add `ykfde` to your hook list in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf` and rebuild your initramfs with: > mkinitcpio -p linux Reboot and have fun! Limitation / TODO ----------------- * At the moment this is specific to Arch Linux. Though everything should run with upstream `systemd` just fine anybody has to hook things up with [dracut](https://dracut.wiki.kernel.org/) or whatever. * The challenge is not updated. The file is accessible read only in initramfs, but we have no easy way to write it to persistant storage. So probably this is a design limitation...
