So that means the brain is simple enough to understand, but we are too simple to understand it.

I know KDE is the most similar to windows but I would never install it due to 2 reasons:

  • too many options for them
  • too many options for me (the support guy)

They are stored behind luks and I think they are readable only by root. But bootkit can probably only infect UEFI from Linux that is running on that machine. And to interact to UEFI you probably have to be root, right?

I'll look into more options, either store keys on a seperate luks usb key or on a hardware securety key like Nitrokey. For sbctl there is already a roadmap feature for hardware security keys, I hope this comes soon :)

Well... if you have your own keys (like I do) you have to store them somewhere. That somewhere is probably somewhere on a computer where they are used so you can update the kernel. If you have private keys, you can probably bypass secure boot.

Is there a way to have private keys stored on a nitrokey that has to be plugged in for every kernel update?
