I have read the spec pdf and am still trying to understand how the less used features work --hence my presence on this list. It seems that quite a few people have posted this month with an interest in working on various aspects--mostly smart card related. If someone has specific needs pleaase post to this list. We will do what we can. I am building my own LUKS2 questions and answers and will share them as I find answers. here are the questions I have so far--some of which we have started addressing on this list. Questions ========= * it seems like the keyslot area size is not fixed in luks2 spec. is this correct? what is the default size of keyslot area in the reference implementation? * how can I tell if a luks container is already in use before trying to open it? what is the best way? alternatives? * what is an unbound keyslot? How can I use it? * what is pbkdf? * what are per keyslot parameters? * How can I insert JSON data into the LUKS 2 header? * How can I extract JSON data from the LUKS 2 header? * How can I store binary data in the LUKS 2 header? * I see the header is redundant. Is there an automatic recovery? * How can I manually recover the luks header if the primary one is corrupted? _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx https://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
