horcrux VS clevis

> Q) This isn't really in line with how horcruxes work in the harry potter universe!

> A) It's pretty close! You can't allow any one horcrux to be used to resurrect the original file (and why would you that would be useless) but you can allow two horcruxes to do it (so only off by one). Checkmate HP fans.

Well the whole point of hurcruxes is to have backup in several places. This tool to backup your backups in several places is a much better use of the name https://github.com/chrispoole643/horcrux. Checkmate jesseduffield ;)

Recently learned that Clevis also supports Shamir Secret Sharing, and it's in fact the only way to configure multiple pins even if they're of the same type and authority (ie. the RAID0 of SSS):

Have a look at clevis and tang. These allow you do have one server - which could be your remote you want to pull from - to be source of the LUKS decryption on the system using tang.

Interesting question. I think so?

Looks like clevis is gpl3 - so I expect it's not packaged as standard for any of the bsds?

I haven't used it myself, but a solution with LUKS, TPM2, and clevis is the way I've seen other people set it up https://github.com/latchset/clevis

There are 3 ways to unlock a volume in a headless environment: - use a keyfile, located on an already available volume - use your device's TPM and utilize systemd-cryptenroll - use Clevis/Tang to unlock volumes remotely

I don't think there is a turnkey solution, but you can build what you are looking for with clevis, LUKS, and dm-crypt

We use clevis against multiple tang servers to provide Network Bound Disk Encryption (NBDE). It's possible to also use TPM2 but it's easier to use multiple tang servers (requiring more than one server to decrypt) in the datacenter.
