# Prepare YubiKey Download or mount [yubikey-full-disk-encryption](https://github.com/agherzan/yubikey-full-disk-encryption) and install it in your Arch Linux Live environment. This is needed because we will format the 4th partition with YubiKey. ## Installation Open the *yubikey-full-disk-encryption* folder and run `make`. ``` cd yubikey-full-disk-encryption make install ``` ## Prepare 2nd slot Now it's time to prepare the second slot of our YubiKey for the challenge response authentication. Touch will be also enabled. ``` ykpersonalize -v -2 -ochal-resp -ochal-hmac -ohmac-lt64 -ochal-btn-trig -oserial-api-visible ``` ## Configure ykfde Open `/etc/ykfde.conf` and set `YKFDE_CHALLENGE_SLOT=2` because we want to use the second slot. Set `YKFDE_CHALLENGE_PASSWORD_NEEDED=1` so it asks for the password (2FA). Leave other settings as is, it will be changed later. > Please compare it carefully with the latest version you have downloaded. ```ini # Configuration for yubikey-full-disk-encryption. ("") means an empty value. ### *REQUIRED* ### # Set to non-empty value to use 'Automatic mode with stored challenge (1FA)'. #YKFDE_CHALLENGE="" # Use 'Manual mode with secret challenge (2FA)'. YKFDE_CHALLENGE_PASSWORD_NEEDED="1" # Choose YubiKey slot configured for 'HMAC-SHA1 Challenge-Response' mode. Possible values are "1" or "2". YKFDE_CHALLENGE_SLOT="2" ### OPTIONAL ### # Set partition UUID. Leave empty to use 'cryptdevice' kernel parameter. #YKFDE_DISK_UUID="" # Set LUKS encrypted volume name. Leave empty to use 'cryptdevice' kernel parameter. #YKFDE_LUKS_NAME="" # If left empty this will be set as "/dev/disk/by-uuid/$YKFDE_DISK_UUID" -- device to unlock with 'cryptsetup luksOpen'. #YKFDE_LUKS_DEV="" # Optional flags passed to 'cryptsetup luksOpen'. Example: "--allow-discards" for TRIM support. Leave empty to use cryptdevice kernel parameter. #YKFDE_LUKS_OPTIONS="" # Number of times to assemble passphrase and run 'cryptsetup luksOpen'. Defaults to "5". #YKFDE_CRYPTSETUP_TRIALS="5" # Number of seconds to wait for inserting YubiKey, "-1" means 'unlimited'. Defaults to "30". #YKFDE_CHALLENGE_YUBIKEY_INSERT_TIMEOUT="30" # Number of seconds passed to 'sleep' after succesful decryption. Defaults to empty, meaning NO sleep. #YKFDE_SLEEP_AFTER_SUCCESSFUL_CRYPTSETUP="" # Enable verbose output. It will print all secrets to terminal. Use only for debugging. #DBG="1" ``` ## Encrypt 4th partition Next step is to format the 4th partition. You can modify the arguments if you know what you are doing. > Ensure that you use the 4th partition, replace `[device 4th partition]` with the 4th partition of your device e.g. `nvme0n1p4` ``` ykfde-format --cipher aes-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash sha256 --iter-time 5000 --type luks2 /dev/[device 4th partition] ykfde-open -d /dev/[device 4th partition] -n cryptlvm ``` Display the crypt volume with `ls -la /dev/mapper/`. Next step is to prepare the logical volumes.
