_______________________________________________________
Details:
The LUKS2 format brings several advantages over the original LUKS format. Some
of the most important are (1) data integrity protection and (2) memory-hard
functions for key derivation.
GRUB supports the original LUKS format, allowing the setup of full-disk
encryption (FDE) schemes where GRUB decrypts an encrypted /boot partition.
Adding support for LUKS2 on GRUB would improve the security on these FDE
schemes, specially due to the two new LUKS2 advantages mentioned above.
I found several references online (Arch Wiki, Stackoverflow, etc.) to the lack
of LUKS2 support on GRUB. I decided to open this feature request since I could
find no mention of LUKS2 on both the bug tracker and the mailing lists.
