[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#888916: cryptsetup: Patch that enables using OpenPGP card to unlock encrypted root

[Rian Hunter]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.7.5-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,


I have a set of scripts that extend the cryptsetup initramfs integration to support automatically configuring an encrypted root volume for unlocking using an OpenPGP card. It doesn't rely on any hard coded paths.

The killer feature of my package is that it allows remote unlocking via a forwarded gpg-agent over ssh.

You can find the code here: https://github.com/rianhunter/cryptsetup-gnupg-pcard

I haven't yet created the debian/ package files in case it would make more sense to merge my scripts straight into the cryptsetup. If not, I'm open to making a separate package.

Thanks, looking forward to your response.

Rian
