Booting with passphrase on USB key

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, I'm new to this list, and to encryption.

I have my /home partition encrypted, and have created two luks key slots. Slot 
0 takes input from the keyboard, and slot 1 was created with something like 
the following line:

# cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda3 /media/disk/datafile

Datafile contains a line of text which is intended to be an alternative to 
decrypt the /home partition.

The USB stick is listed in fstab above the entry for /dev/sda3 and is mounted 
by LABEL to /media/disk. It does mount at boot time, but I always have to 
enter the passphrase (key slot 0) manually.

What else do I need to do to be able to boot my machine, with the USB stick 
inserted, and not have to enter the passphrase in key slot 0 manually each 
time?
