||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Distributions like Ubuntu and Trisquel have patches, that probably comes from the "grub crypt project":http://grub.johnlane.ie/ that enables such functionality. |

| 10 | |||
| 11 | As we need to deploy there, it's best to upstream such patches in order not to have to maintain them ourselves. |
