Or why you could not just encrypt the whole header with another key that is only in that device? Then it would appear as random full length. I.e. unsealing 1. Decrypt LUKS2 header with TPM2 key 2. Use the new resulting header as it was in the place of encrypted stored to the external drive. 3. Decrypt key from the LUK2S header etc. ? BR, Jarkko
