I want to setup a full disk encrypted Archlinux system that I can unlock remotely using ssh to provide the password. But this system is connected to a wired network that implements port unlocking using 802.1x (you must provide a username and password for the system to allow you to use the wired network).
I've searched the internet and I've found some tips and guides that show how to include dropbear and some utilities in the initcpio in order to make it ask for the decryption key through ssh when booting. However, I haven't figured out how to include something like wpa_supplicant to allow it to use the wired connection first.
The system already works after unlocking the LUKs partition during the normal boot process without the remote unlock ability. In order to connect to the network, I use NetorkManager with the required credentials.
As an advanced goal I would like to somehow obfuscate as much as I can the 802.1X credentials that are used.
Thanks in advance for any help
