This news, basically, says that my company will provide a solution to

I have been working on adding support for encrypted partitions to
GRUB2. It includes a generic crypto module with numerous ciphers and
hashes, which may be useful to you. My patch[1] is still waiting for
further review and for some legal issues to be addressed.
I think what Okuji said means merging it in GRUB 2 is not a prerequisite
for this plan:
I agree. I was just pointing out that my work may be useful and could save
him some effort. His module could use the ciphers and hashes from my patch
instead of reimplementing them again.
Yes. I will use your patch. I also would like to consider whether or how we
should incorporate your patch into the official repository. Since ciphers are
useful for many different things, I think the question is only about the API
or the code structure.
Hi,
Could you also think about different password hashing schemes and other
user authenticity cases while designing this.
Thanks,
Vesa Jääskeläinen
