FSFE Fellower Card + LUKS on Startup
Hi GnuPG-Users,

I have been testing the FSFE GnuPG smartcard in the past few days and I find
it really cool! However, I have some more questions regarding the card.

I have encrypted all of my linux partitions with LUKS and it works really
great. Next, I would like to integrate the GnuPG card into the boot process
in order to encrypt or to provide the key file. I found a Howto in the ubuntu
wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartCardLUKSDiskEncryption. However, in this
HowTo, they use a MultiFlex Smartcard and load the key file on the card. In
the startup process, the keyfile is read out and sent to LUKS. This step is
really simple but how can this work with the gnupg smartcard?

I think it is not a problem to decrypt the key file in the startup process,
isn't it!? Is it possible to access the card reader (omnikey 4040) and the
smartcard via gpg from the initrd ram disk? Has anyone ever tried it in a
similar way or are there any alternatives? Finally, is there a HowTo?

I would be very happy for any kind of information.

Thanks,
David

FSFE Fellower Card + LUKS on Startup [In reply to]
Hi GnuPG-Users,

I have been testing the FSFE GnuPG smartcard in the past few days and I find
it really cool! However, I have some more questions regarding the card.

I have encrypted all of my linux partitions with LUKS and it works really
great. Next, I would like to integrate the GnuPG card into the boot process
in order to encrypt or to provide the key file. I found a Howto in the ubuntu
wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartCardLUKSDiskEncryption. However, in this
HowTo, they use a MultiFlex Smartcard and load the key file on the card. In
the startup process, the keyfile is read out and sent to LUKS. This step is
really simple but how can this work with the gnupg smartcard?

I think it is not a problem to decrypt the key file in the startup process,
isn't it!? Is it possible to access the card reader (omnikey 4040) and the
smartcard via gpg from the initrd ram disk? Has anyone ever tried it in a
similar way or are there any alternatives? Finally, is there a HowTo?

I would be very happy for any kind of information.

Thanks,
David

David ..... you are sending this over and over and over ......... I have this message 21 times.

What's going on?

Please stop. One copy is enough ... if someone has time to answer your question, they will.

Thank you.

It is likely not his fault. The last two times this has happened it's
been because the GnuPG mailing list's server has run out of disk space.
The server gets wedged and begins to act out in this particular way.

Let's all take a deep breath, back off, and wait for word from Werner
about what happened. And let's especially not dogpile on the newcomer:
that's not a very nice thing to do.

The last time the mailing list got wedged like this, I was the one who
wrote the email that got sent out dozens of times. You'd be appalled at
how many rude, profane and offensive messages I received from people
telling me to stop spamming the list.
