linux-secureboot-kit VS clevis

u/Richard__M I am not sure how much you've dug into the architecture of Mortar, but TL;DR it bypasses grub entirely. A friend of mine developed Snawoot/linux-secureboot-kit which leverages grub's GPG capabilities to essentially daisy-chain trust and accomplish the same thing, but ran into frustrations with broken implementations of the feature with some distributions (*ahem* debian). In my opinion, chaining trust also introduces complexity which case lead to security vulnerabilities both from the software being chained, and through "oops" coding trying to get them to play nicely.

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.
