added additional information about the lfde site.

@MV.: Thanks. I may test it myself and add an answer here with more detailed steps to use encrypted /boot partitions with GRUB2.

| Feb 20, 2015 at 9:50 | comment | added | MV. | @Peque Done, added a note about the latest version of GRUB2 (2.00). It now has code to access LUKS and GELI encrypted partitions. However, I have not tested them, I'm relying on the Changelog of the latest version. | |

updated information about grub2

@MV.: could this answer be updated/reviewed? Does GRUB2 have support for loading and decrypting LUKS partitions nowadays? Could this allow users to encrypt /boot partition as well?

| Jan 25, 2013 at 11:24 | comment | added | MV. | Yes, lfde.org has been down from some months (and the author blog is gone too). Pity is all the work done by the author of the LFDE project is gone, as it was all hosted in his personal website (another reason to leverage sites like SourceForge, Google Code, GitHub or similar). | |

| Jul 21, 2011 at 2:16 | comment | added | MV. | Just to add more information about the weakness of using a non-encrypted /boot partition (but it also apply for an non-encrypted boot loader): twopointfouristan.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/… (how to modify the boot partition in 10 minutes of physical access, to retrieve the mount passphrase plus any other file in the encrypted partition) | |

| May 24, 2011 at 8:40 | comment | added | MV. | I don't know any working implementation, but EFI/UEFI has the option to include a custom EFI Boot Manager to replace a common boot loader, maybe adding a decryption layer to decrypt the data (of course then you'll need an EFI platform). Or maybe some of the project related to CoreBoot (ADLO, SeaBIOS, OpenBIOS, etc.) can be modified to do that. Just ideas. | |
