Description: YubiKey two factor authentication for LUKS disks
With this extension to the initramfs-tools, you can unlock a LUKS encrypted
disk using your YubiKey as a second factor.
.
The challenge-response mechanism of the YubiKey is used to generate a response
based on a PIN/password you have to enter.
.
Only the combination of the correct password and the matching YubiKey will
generate a response, that is a valid key of the LUKS disk. Alternatively
you can use any other LUKS passphrase when the YubiKey is not present.
