Full disk encryption on Chromebook (w/ external USB)

Postby mediocregopher » Mon Aug 20, 2018 6:19 pm

I've successfully followed this guide to boot into arch from a USB for my machine:

https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv ... mebook-r13

and now I'm wondering if there's a way for my root partition to be encrypted using something like dm-crypt. I've done this previously on x86 machines by adding the encrypt module to mkinitcpio's HOOKS field, but I'm not sure if that applies here. I've found where the vmlinux.kpart file is built (https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... k/PKGBUILD), but that didn't shed any light on what to do for me.

If anyone could point me in the right direction on this I'd very much appreciate it, thanks!

I'm not experienced with encryption, but I presume that you may get done it as long as compiling u-boot for encrypted partitions.
