Zymkey 4i, Ubuntu Desktop 21.10, Rpi4, LUKS

Hello everyone! Sharing out a success, and steps for using the zymkey 4i for backing LUKS FDE under Ubuntu 21.10 on an Rpi4.

Image your boot device with Server or Desktop, and apply LUKS encryption according to the procedure at: raspberrypi - LUKS Disk Encryption on Raspberry Pi 4 and Ubuntu Desktop 20.10 - Ask Ubuntu

Desktop, unlike Server, doesn’t have cryptsetup in it’s initramfs at first. Therefore, like the follow-on comment suggests, boot it up, apt install cryptsetup-initramfs and update-initramfs -u -k all before applying LUKS.

For 21.10, you can leave splash in the cmdline.txt entry because the splash screen understands the askpass prompt, and channels it through to a pretty screen.

Notably, Adiantum performs much better on the rpi 1-4 family only because they don’t expose aes hardware intrinsics. This is a fallback encryption algorithm for lower-end hardware.
→ Feature detect this rather than always using adiantum: grep aes /proc/cpuinfo

Physically install the zymkey 4i:

From Ubuntu 20.04 (focal fossa) Support - #10 by kontrasec, the software kit must be slightly modified. We’re using packages from focal on impish. Use this as the contents of install.sh, and then run it:

Let the rpi4 reboot, then add a new key to the LUKS drive, and lock it with the zymkey 4i. As root/sudo:

# https://run.tournament.org.il/ubuntu-20-04-and-tpm2-encrypted-system-disk/
pushd /root

cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | head -c 64 > root.key

# Retry this next line till it works.... :facepalm:
zklockifs root.key > /var/lib/zymbit/key.bin.lock

cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/mmcblk0p2 root.key

rm root.key

popd

Now, add new hooks for initramfs generation. Here, Zymbit’s mk_encr_ext_rfs.sh script has a copy:

# Zymbit mk_encr_ext_rfs.sh

# Copy /var/lib/zymbit and all standalone zymkey utilities to initramfs
cat > /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/zymkey_cryptfs_cfg <<"EOF"
#!/bin/sh

prereqs() {
     echo "$PREREQ"
}

case "$1" in
    prereqs)

        ;;
esac

chmod +x /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/zymkey_cryptfs_cfg

From Raspberry pi4 Ubuntu not booting - #10 by kontrasec, the stock keyscript has no fallbacks in case the zymbit is missing, damaged, or the OS was updated. Use this instead:

cat > /lib/cryptsetup/scripts/zk_get_key <<'EOF'
#!/bin/sh

num_times=30
while [ ${num_times} -gt 0 ]
do
    ls /sys/class/net/eth* 1>/dev/null 2>&1
    eth=$?
    ls /sys/class/net/enx* 1>/dev/null 2>&1
    enx=$?

    if [ ${eth} -ne 0 ] && [ ${enx} -ne 0 ]
    then
        num_times=$((num_times-1))
        sleep 0.1
    else
        break
fi
done
num_times=30
while [ ${num_times} -gt 0 ]
do
    if [ -d "/var/lib/zymbit" ]
    then
        break
    else
        num_times=$((num_times-1))
        sleep 0.1
    fi
done

if [ -e /var/lib/zymbit/zkenv.conf ]
then
    export $(cat /var/lib/zymbit/zkenv.conf)
fi

/sbin/zkunlockifs /var/lib/zymbit/key.bin.lock

err=$?
if [ ${err} -ne 0 ]
then
    /lib/cryptsetup/askpass "Zymbit key did not release LUKS key. Enter backup LUKS passphrase:"
fi
EOF

Now, rebuild the initramfs:

update-initramfs -u -k all

… and reboot!

Hi,
I am running this curreently and i found a small mistake in the install.sh script.
Line 57 function pip3() schould be function pip3 :wink:
other then that tnx :v:
