Is there a mechanism to use a separate password?
In theory the infrastructure would allow that, but systemd-homed's idea is really to unify authentication, and make disk encryption part of the user account an implementation detail. Hence, in systemd-homed you can have N passwords and M PKCS#11 tokens (i.e. yubikeys) and these translate to N+M keyslots on the LUKS volume, so that any supplied password or any supplied yubikey unlocks the whole stack. (And N and M can individually be zero, but N+M must be > 0) (And systemd-homed also supports ext4 encryption as backend, as well as unencrypted backends, and authentication works the same there except that the keys are never propagated to any storage backend because the storage backend has no interest in cryptographic key material) Lennart -- Lennart Poettering, Berlin _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
