      Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)  

      As LUKS encryption is required for certain customer environments e.g. being PCI compliant and the current implementation with Network Based LUKS encryption are a) complex and b) not reliable and secure we need to support our Customers with an way to have the Root Device encrypted on a secure way with IBM HW based HSM to secure the LUKS Key. This is a kind of TPM approach to store the luks key but fence it from the user.

      Hardware based LUKS encryption requires injection of the read of secure keys in clevis during boot time.  

      Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)

      Provide hardware based root volume encryption

      Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):

      Provide hardware based root volume encryption with LUKS

       

      Anyone reviewing this Feature needs to know which deployment configurations that the Feature will apply to (or not) once it's been completed.  Describe specific needs (or indicate N/A) for each of the following deployment scenarios. For specific configurations that are out-of-scope for a given release, ensure you provide the OCPSTRAT (for the future to be supported configuration) as well.

      Deployment considerations List applicable specific needs (N/A = not applicable)
      Self-managed, managed, or both Y
      Classic (standalone cluster) Y
      Hosted control planes Y
      Multi node, Compact (three node), or Single node (SNO), or all Y
      Connected / Restricted Network Y
      Architectures, e.g. x86_x64, ARM (aarch64), IBM Power (ppc64le), and IBM Z (s390x) IBM Z
      Operator compatibility n/a
      Backport needed (list applicable versions) n/a
      UI need (e.g. OpenShift Console, dynamic plugin, OCM) n/a
      Other (please specify)
