tang VS bip39

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.

I found that running tang[1] at home and needing to decrypt that box (can be a Pi or whatever) requiring a complex passphrase is very sufficient. You can even just unplug it at night if it makes you sleep better.

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

This is why on headless servers you use tang (ideally, multiple tang servers)

Sharing my notes on running a Tang server on OPNSense, in case it is useful for somebody else.

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.

For automating unlocking of encrypted drives, look into tang . Here is a red hat guide on setting it up. You will want to be running this on another device on your network, i run it on my router with openwrt since its a local device thats on 24/7. Basically it will unlock your disks as long as your server is on your network, so if your machine or drives are stolen or removed from your network they will just be encrypted as usual. Obviously use a strong encryption password.

There are other ways to bind data, e.g. "network binding" with Tang server.

I wonder if https://github.com/latchset/clevis and https://github.com/latchset/tang (complementary projects) will help here.

Yes you can, using either Mandos or Clevis and Tang. https://www.recompile.se/mandos https://github.com/latchset/clevis https://github.com/latchset/tang. Basically on boot the server gets the key from another(s) servers. You could use a hidden raspberry pi for example.

Download the offline version of the BIP39 tool via https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/releases/latest. Right click on bip39-standalone.html and save the file.

You could make this with a Raspberry Pi Zero and the stand-alone version of the Coleman Web page+javascript https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/releases/latest/

Since what I just said may be confusing... here it is in practice with a link so you can try it for yourself using Ian Coleman's Mnemonic Code Converter:

With Christmas coming around and the bull market upon us, I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone one about the art of mnemonic memorization. The idea is you take a BIP39 seed, then make a poem, story, limerick, or song using the words to help you remember. If you gift bitcoin, you can include the writing with the seed-card you provide to help the recipient remember as well. If you want to play along, go to Ian's BIP39 page and generate a valid seed mnemonic then see if you can't create a blurb of text that includes all the words.

You can try Ian Coleman's tool at : https://iancoleman.io/bip39/

13) Go to https://iancoleman.io/bip39/. There you need to change "Coin" value of the dropdown to "ETH – Ethereum". After that you can paste Secret phrase associated with Key 1 to “BIP39 Mnemonic” section

As I learned how to build websites, I wanted to use my new skill to help the crypto community in any way I can. So, I made a wallet generator website. It's like iancoleman BIP39, but with a nicer and more user-friendly design inspired by Tornado Cash, a simple way to make wallets from files/images, and support for Monero!
