FreeBSD Developer Summit: GELI Improvement Working Group

Thursday June 8th 13:30 to 16:30 in DMS 1140

Overview

The goal of this session was to design the new GELI metadata structure to allow GELI to be extended with new functionality, and to resolve existing shortcomings.

If you would like to participate, contact the working group chairs below and CC devsummit@. You will be then added to this page. Please include a list of things you want to talk about or the areas you are interested in. This helps us in planning the session and to bring people together with common interests.

It is possible to bring in people who cannot attend in person via video conference or chat tools. Notes during the session will be published later on for the whole community to see what we discussed.

Goals

• Extend the GELI metadata from 512 bytes to 4096 bytes in a backwards compatible way.
• GELI can have 2 user keys, but only has 1 iterations field
• Add metadata about what is required to decrypt a GELI device (passphrase, keyfile, etc)
• Discuss loader.efi support and review

Other Features

• yubikey support
