We currently only support passphrases, not keyfiles in the Encrypted.Unlock() D-Bus method, see http://udisks.freedesktop.org/docs/latest/gdbus-org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Encrypted.html#gdbus-method-org-freedesktop-UDisks2-Encrypted.Unlock However, I'm OK with supporting keyfiles - the way it should work is by introducing something like encrypted.keyfile_contents of type 'ay' (binary blob) in the @options parameter. If we do this we should also just teach udisksctl(1) about it. Down the road we could even teach the desktop stack about it so you can pick the keyfile dialogs like this (getting it past the GNOME designers might be harder though) http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/gnome-3-6-unlock-luks.png Sebastian: please file a bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=udisks with a reference to this thread and we can take it from there - thanks!
