  • safeboot

    Scripts to slightly improve the security of the Linux boot process with UEFI Secure Boot and TPM support

  • There have been a number of attempts to solve this problem, but the most complete appear to be Mortar (a project I head) and safeboot.dev

    I highly recommend taking a look at either of these projects if you want be able to improve both your convenience through auto unlocking, and security through broadened scope of audit.

  • cryptboot

    Encrypted boot partition manager with UEFI Secure Boot support

  • sbctl

    :computer: :lock: :key: Secure Boot key manager

  • This is essentially what me and Trammell Hudson has been thinking about. But I don't have any available machines to test this with, and I haven't gotten around to setting up a QEMU vm to test out this theory.

  • tpm2-totp

    Attest the trustworthiness of a device against a human using time-based one-time passwords

  • >But okay, you may extend my attack by saying that you exchange the motherboard between the victim and the attacker laptop, so that you don't need to replicate the chassis.

    Modern computers has tamper detection and if you open them you'll need to type the BIOS password.

    However, replacing the motherboard is going to replace the TPM. This is easily detectable with something like tpm2_totp in the bootchain.

  • heads

    A minimal Linux that runs as a coreboot or LinuxBoot ROM payload to provide a secure, flexible boot environment for laptops, workstations and servers.

  • btrfs-todo

    An issues only repo to organize our TODO items

  • fscrypt support for btrfs is still being planned; see the most recent comments at https://github.com/btrfs/btrfs-todo/issues/25
