Description : Erase the LUKS keys with a special password on the unlock prompt
Installing this package lets you configure a special "nuke password" that
can be used to destroy the encryption keys required to unlock the encrypted
partitions. This password can be entered in the usual early-boot prompt
asking the passphrase to unlock the encrypted partition(s).
This provides a relatively stealth way to make your data unreadable in
case you fear that your computer is going to be seized.
After installation, use “dpkg-reconfigure cryptsetup-nuke-password” to
configure your nuke password.
I intend to maintain this package under the pkg-security umbrella so it's easy
to co-maintain.
Kind regards
Jonas
