I am interested in seeing support for encrypted partitions added to GRUB. On the GRUB Wiki, encryption support is listed as a suggested project for Google's Summer of Code 2008. Did anyone pick up this project? If not, I would like to take a stab at it. Before I start looking closely at this, I have two questions:
1. How do I know exactly what subset of libc is available to me as a GRUB developer? Obviously, system calls would not be expected to work because the operating system has not yet been loaded, but I would expect libmath routines to be usable by GRUB. What about other libraries? 2. Does anyone have any tips on how this could be implemented? I have a lot of experience working with encrypted root filesystems, but this is my first shot at an encrypted boot filesystem. I would appreciate comments from seasoned GRUB developers as I delve into the project's code myself. Thanks!
