Comme je t’ai raconté une bêtise plus haut (On ne peut pas chiffrer avec une clé aléatoire autre chose que des partitions qui seront perdues à chaque reboot), je t’ai trouvé cela dans la documentation cryptsetup (zless /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.remote.gz) :
[quote]unlocking rootfs via ssh login in initramfs
You can unlock your rootfs on bootup from remote, using ssh to log in to the
booting system while it’s running with the initramfs mounted.
Setup
For remote unlocking to work, the following packages have to be installed
before building the initramfs: dropbear busybox
The file /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf holds the configuration options
used when building the initramfs. It should contain BUSYBOX=y (this is set as
the default when the busybox package is installed) to have busybox installed
into the initramfs, and should not contain DROPBEAR=n, which would disable
installation of dropbear to initramfs. If set to DROPBEAR=y, dropbear will
beinstalled in any case; if DROPBEAR isn’t set at all, then dropbear will only
be installed in case of an existing cryptroot setup.
The host keys used for the initramfs are dropbear_dss_host_key and
dropbear_rsa_host_key, both located in/etc/initramfs-tools/etc/dropbear/.
If they do not exist when the initramfs is compiled, they will be created
automatically. Following are the commands to create them manually:
dropbearkey -t dss -f /etc/initramfs-tools/etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/initramfs-tools/etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key
As the initramfs will not be encrypted, publickey authentication is assumed.
The key(s) used for that will be taken from
/etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/authorized_keys.
If this file doesn’t exist when the initramfs is compiled, it will be created
and /etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub will be added to it.
If the latter file doesn’t exist either, it will be generated automatically -
you will find the matching private key which you will later need to log in to
the initramfs under /etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/id_rsa (or id_rsa.dropbear
in case you need it in dropbear format). Following are the commands to do the
respective steps manually:
To create a key (in dropbear format):
dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/id_rsa.dropbear
To convert the key from dropbear format to openssh format:
/usr/lib/dropbear/dropbearconvert dropbear openssh \
/etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/id_rsa.dropbear \
/etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/id_rsa
To extract the public key:
dropbearkey -y -f /etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/id_rsa.dropbear | \
grep "^ssh-rsa " > /etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
To add the public key to the authorized_keys file:
cat /etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> /etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
In case you want some interface to get configured using dhcp, setting DEVICE= in
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf should be sufficient. The initramfs should
also honour the ip= kernel parameter.
In case you use grub, you probably might want to set it in /boot/grub/menu.lst,
either in the ‘# kopt=’ line or appended to specific ‘kernel’ line(s).
The ip= kernel parameter is documented in Documentation/nfsroot.txt in the
kernel source tree.
Issues
Don’t forget to run update-initramfs when you changed the config to make it
effective!
Collecting enough entropy for the ssh daemon sometimes seems to be an issue.
Startup of the ssh daemon might be delayed until enough entropy has been
retrieved. This is non-blocking for the startup process, so when you are at the
console you won’t have to wait for the sshd to complete its startup.
Unlocking procedure
To unlock from remote, you could do something like this:
ssh -o “UserKnownHostsFile=~/.ssh/known_hosts.initramfs” \
-i "~/id_rsa.initramfs" [root@initramfshost.example.com](mailto:root@initramfshost.example.com) \
"echo -ne \"secret\" >/lib/cryptsetup/passfifo"
This example assumes that you have an extra known_hosts file
"~/.ssh/known_hosts.initramfs" which hold’s the cryptroot system’s host-key,
that you have a file “~/id_rsa.initramfs” which holds the authorized-key for
the cryptroot system, that the cryptroot system’s name is
"initramfshost.example.com", and that the cryptroot passphrase is “secret”
