netpleb | attempting to answer my own question here: as far as I can tell this is probably possible for a virtual/emulated TPM but is likely not straightforward. Still not sure about physical TPMs | 20:48:09 |

Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | Hello, I recently got a new laptop with a modern CPU that have a TPM chip, What can I do with it to improve the security of my system? | 12:45:10 |
elikoga | In reply to @nakibrayane:matrix.org Hello, I recently got a new laptop with a modern CPU that have a TPM chip, What can I do with it to improve the security of my system? https://jnsgr.uk/2024/04/nixos-secure-boot-tpm-fde/ You can use it to unlock your encrypted disk without user intervention | 14:59:17 |
Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | How is this more secure then dm-crypt with a password, If someone store my laptop, they can just assess all the data in it. | 16:30:53 |
Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | * How is this more secure then dm-crypt with a password? If someone store my laptop, they can just assess all the data in it. | 16:31:34 |
elikoga | No? I hope you have your user account protected with a password. The tpm will not release your encryption keys if system integrity is not given. For example my laptop tpm locks if you open the chassis | 16:31:58 |
Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | So they can't just put the hard disk in another PC, My hard disk will only unlock in my laptop. And then the security of my data is protected with userspace programs (e.g. GDM, tty login), Is this correct? | 16:34:29 |
Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | And is this more secure then dm-crypt? | 16:34:38 |
elikoga | In combination with dmcrypt it is in my opinion more secure since you don't need to input an encryption key by hand | 16:35:17 |
elikoga | Or luks/dmcrypt not sure what the delineation is exactly | 16:35:33 |
