Multi password unlock

Post by sneakified »

I'm looking to set up the program with multiple passwords.
Like a master password and multiple user passwords.
As multiple people can use a laptop but if there is only on password then they all have to know that password.

Well we can store multiple copies of the header encrypted with multiple passwords, but in the end the user will have the ability to get to the master key by reading the encrypted header and than applying their password.

Ofcause computer illiterate people wont do that, and users without admin rights on a locked down device where they can not boot ubuntu from USB will not be able to get their hands on the header.
But than they can remove the HDD and put it in an other PC and et voila.

Except we use the devcies TPM to store the master key and validate the user passwords, but that's upwards of 50k€ development work, interested?
