## Preparation
## Installation
### Arch Linux (AUR)
- Import [Bandie's GPG key](https://bandie.org/assets/bandie.pub.asc) through running `gpg --recv-keys E2D7876915312785DC086BFCC1E133BC65A822DD`.
- Use your favourite AUR helper to install [grub2-signing-extension](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub2-signing-extension/).
Before you can use the signing and verification feature you need to generate a keypair as root. Please use a secure passphrase.
### From github
- Import [Bandie's GPG key](https://bandie.org/assets/bandie.pub.asc) through running `gpg --recv-keys E2D7876915312785DC086BFCC1E133BC65A822DD`.
- Download the [grub2-signing-extension](https://github.com/Bandie/grub2-signing-extension/releases/download/0.1/grub2-signing-extension-0.1.tar.gz) and it's [signature](https://github.com/Bandie/grub2-signing-extension/releases/download/0.1/grub2-signing-extension-0.1.tar.gz.asc).
- Run `gpg --verify grub2-signing-extension*.tar.gz.asc` to make sure that everything is alright.
- Unpack the tar archive. `tar xvf grub2-signing-extension*.tar.gz`
- Change into the grub2-signing-extension directory.
- Run `make install` as root.
`# gpg --gen-key`
You will now have `grub2-sign`, `grub2-unsign`, `grub2-verify` and `grub2-update-kernel-signature` as runable scripts.
To make gpg able to sign and verify files in a `su` environment we need to activate the gpg-agent for root.
## Enabling GRUB2 check\_signatures feature
Edit the file _/root/.gnupg/gpg.conf_ and add the line `use-agent`.
Save the file and create _/root/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf_ with the following content

## How to install the GRUB2 check\_signatures feature and using the grub2-signing-extension
First, export your public key.
`# gpg --export -o ~/pubkey`
Next step, `mount /boot` and (re)install GRUB2. You need to install the public key into the core and instruct to load the modules `gcry_sha256` `gcry_dsa` and `gcry_rsa` at start. So you need the following arguments to install it this way
`grub-install /dev/sda -k /root/pubkey --modules="gcry_sha256 gcry_dsa gcry_rsa"`
Now download the grub2-signing-extension and run `make install` as root. You will now have `grub2-sign`, `grub2-unsign`, `grub2-verify` and `grub2-update-kernel-signature` as runable scripts.
To _enable_ GRUB2's check\_signatures feature insert the following content at the end of the file of */etc/grub.d/00_header*
```
- Export your public key through running `gpg --export -o ~/pubkey`.
- `mount /boot` (assuming your /boot partition is in your /etc/fstab)
- (Re)install GRUB2. The following command will install root's public key into the core and instruct to load the modules `gcry_sha256` `gcry_dsa` and `gcry_rsa` at start so that GRUB2 will be able to do verifications.
- `grub-install /dev/sda -k /root/pubkey --modules="gcry_sha256 gcry_dsa gcry_rsa"`
- Enable GRUB2's check\_signatures feature:
- Insert the following content at the end of the file of */etc/grub.d/00_header*
```
cat << EOF
set check_signatures=enforce
EOF
```
- Run`grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` to make the new configuration valid.
- Sign your bootloader running `grub2-sign` and enter your GPG passphrase.
**It is also recommended to install a password in GRUB2! [See ADDENDUM]**
Run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` to make the new configuration valid.
Now the time is come to sign your GRUB2 bootloader. Just run `grub2-sign`, enter your passphrase and that's it.
**It's also recommended to install a password in GRUB2! [See ADDENDUM]**
## How to update the signatures on change
## How to update the signatures on changes
On every change at the GRUB2 core files you need to run `grub2-unsign` first before you make your changes. Please notice, if you reinstall GRUB2, you should do it as it is said above. Otherwise the signature check won't work.

## How to install a GRUB2 password
Run `grub-mkpasswd-pbkdf2` and type a password. Please take care because in the GRUB2 standard installation the keyboard layout is set to en\_US.

Run `grub2-unsign` to unsign the bootloader.
Then run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` to write the new config.
After this run `grub2-sign` again to sign the new changings.

- Run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` to write the new config.
- Run `grub2-sign` to sign the new changings.
