Cryptomount enhancements - revised


From: John Lane
Subject: Cryptomount enhancements - revised

These patches provide extensions to the "cryptomount" command. There are five 
patches

 [PATCH 1/5] Cryptomount support LUKS detached header
 Support LUKS detached headers so that the header can be separated from the 
data payload, e.g. by storing on external removable media such as a USB key.

 [PATCH 2/5] Cryptomount support key files
 Support key files so that passphrase entry can be suppressed. The passphrase 
can be stored in a "key file" that can be stored, for example, on external 
removable media such as a USB key.

 [PATCH 3/5] cryptomount luks allow multiple passphrase attempts
 Allow a second attempt to enter a passphrase. If unlocking fails on the first 
attempt then the user is presented with the passphrase entry prompt again. If a 
key file is given that does not unlock the device then the user is given the 
opportunity to enter a passphrase.

 [PATCH 4/5] Cryptomount support plain dm-crypt
 Support plain dm-crypt mode. Allow plain volumes to be opened. This is largely 
a re-factoring of exisitng code to allow the crypto routines be used 
independently of LUKS.

 [PATCH 5/5] Cryptomount support for hyphens in UUID
 Support for hyphens in UUID. The "-u" option of cryptomount accepts a UUID. 
This option allows that to be delimited with hyphens so that the same format 
can be given to Grub as is passed to the Linux kernel boot options.


This is a revised patch set following feedback from patches sent on 16/6/15.
