using GnuPG keys for LUKS dm-crypt devices in Debian
----------------------------------------------------
The Debian cryptsetup package provides the keyscript decrypt_gnupg for setups
with a GnuPG encrypted LUKS keyfile.
The following example assumes that you store the encrypted keyfile in
/etc/keys/cryptkey.gpg. LUKS device is /dev/<luks_device>.
First, you'll have to create the encrypted keyfile:
# dd if=/dev/random bs=1 count=256 | gpg --no-options --no-random-seed-file \
--no-default-keyring --keyring /dev/null --secret-keyring /dev/null \
--trustdb-name /dev/null --symmetric --output /etc/keys/cryptkey.gpg
Next the LUKS device needs to be formated with the key. For that, the
decrypt_gnupg keyscript can be used:
# /lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_gnupg /etc/keys/crytpkey.gpg | \
cryptsetup --key-file=- luksFormat /dev/<luks_device>
In order to unlock the encrypted LUKS device automatically during boot process,
add the following to /etc/crypttab:
cdev1 /dev/<luks_device> /etc/keys/cryptkey.gpg luks,keyscript=decrypt_gnupg
decrypting the keyfile at initramfs stage
-----------------------------------------
If the device is to be unlocked at initramfs stage (such as for the root FS or
the resume device), the provided initramfs hooks should do all additionally
required work for you when the initramfs is created or updated.
Be warned though, that for such devices the GnuPG encrypted key is copied to
the initramfs by the initramfs cryptgnupg hook. If you don't want this, you
should take a look at the initramfs cryptgnupg hook, which is located at
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptgnupg.
