Hello,

first I have to say I do not behold this as fundamental feature but
still I'm interested in technical views of this topic and arguments
for and against.

Scenario:
- hibernation to encrypted swap

If I understand it correctly bootstrapper would need to be extended to
be able to handle encrypted storage. And as OpenBSD has by random
key encrypted swap, this would presume to use softraid crypto
discipline for swap to be able to read the image and restore it...

What are your thoughts about this? For example there's some physical
attack against Truecrypt bootloader which somehow confirms there's no
way to trust the bootloader itself ;) Some people proposed to Truecrypt
devs to use TPM but IIRC OpenBSD has refused TPM.

This post is just discussion ;)
