Dear Ubuntu-Team, I have developed a new software component that integrates the key management of LUKS with PAM. It therefore allows users to use their login credentials for the Pre-Boot-Authentication to unlock the encrypted disks. I will present my work at FrOSCon this weekend (http://programm.froscon.org/2009/events/341.de.html).
I have tried to contact Steve Langasek and Kees Cook a couple weeks ago in order to inform them about my work before the initial public release at FrOSCon. Both have worked on the cryptsetup package and I figured they would be the appropriate contacts because my work builds upon cryptsetup. However, I have not received a reply from either one of them. Thus, I am now contacting this mailing list. I would like to get my work integrated into a future Ubuntu release and would like to get this going ASAP. I have also contacted Jonas Meurer from Debian and he seems to like what I've created - thus, it might be integrated into Debian testing in the near future. In case someone wants to know more about my work before sunday, please contact me in private per email. I don't want to publicly disclose my work before the presentation on sunday.
