Right :) I didn't want my LUKS key to be in clear-text, even if it's in a |
| 15 |
binary file on some server which probably no one will ever see and identify |
| 16 |
as a boot partition. I have my GPG secret key in different locations, not |
| 17 |
only on the encrypted PC we are talking about. |
| 18 |
I only did backup the boot partition because I use the XTS cipher and did |
| 19 |
not have a live cd which knew about it. But now the new GRML 2009.05 |
| 20 |
supports it. |
