Right now=2C there's only "cngets" used to provide passphrase for GELI disk=
 encryption.=0A=
In the future=2C considering embedded solutiona=2C and cloud data centers=
=2C co-location=2C etc..=2C=0A=
would different geli passphrase providers be planned?=0A=
=0A=
=0A=
One thing that I dream of (for embedded projects):=0A=
=0A=
=0A=
While prompting the passphrase on the console=2C have some settings in load=
er.conf to=A0=0A=
provide an iface=2C ip=2C netmask gateway to mount and implement a Single P=
acket Authorization mechanism with IPSec.=0A=
=0A=
The impossibility to be on-site to enter passphrase prevent disk encryption=
 for multiple scenarios=2C and in my humble opinion=2C those are the same s=
cenarios where encryption is mandatory like embedded Device in the wild=2C =
co-location=2C Off-site servers... even bhyve...=0A=
=0A=
Of course=2C I know IPMI or KVM solutions are possible=2C just wandering if=
 we oversee any solutions without those required.=0A=
=0A=
Any opinions? 		 	   		  =
