Dead simple. Full disk encryption on OpenBSD is a discipline of softraid(4). One bioctl command during the install will initialize a hard disk with true full disk encryption. When I say true, I mean, no separate un-encrypted /boot partition like LVM on LUKS requires.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoThanks for answer as I was curious too.
- npsimons 10y agoSweet! I've been considering OpenBSD for an Internet facing server for a while, this is definitely something that makes it all that more tempting.
- xorcist 10y agoFwiw, in GRUB version 2 load the cryptodisk module to enable an encrypted /boot.
