YubiKey Full Disk Encryption

This repository contains a step-by-step tutorial to create a full disk encryption setup with two factor authentication (2FA) via YubiKey. It contains:

  • YubiKey encrypted root (/) and home (/home) folder on separated partitions
  • Encrypted /boot partition
  • UEFI Secure boot (self signed boot loader)
  • YubiKey authentication for user login

Currently guides for:

  • Arch Linux

Why

It took me several days to figure out how to set up a fully encrypted machine with 2FA. This guide should help others to get it done in minutes (hopefully). There exists a plenty bunch of tutorials but no one contains a step-by-step guide to get the above things done.

I guess the entire manual will take between 1 - 3 hours.

Prerequisites

You should be familiar with linux and should be able to edit files with vi Vi Cheat Sheet. You need an USB stick for the Linux Live environment and a second computer would be useful for look ups and to read this guide while preparing your fully encrypted Linux.

And of course you will need an YubiKey.
