Linux support for decrypting

[dkwo]

Do you think this plugin could also work on Linux, if/when a driver for Apple SEP becomes available (e.g. from Asahi Linux)?

(Of course I mean the SEP part, dealing with decryption.)

If a driver would become available, ideally someone would 'just' add the SecureEnclave API to Swift Crypto (the open source CryptoKit replacement used on Linux), and this plugin could be trivially made to work. There currently is no implementation for the SecureEnclave API in Swift Crypto yet (I suggested adding a stub in the past), and the fact that it would make the library depend on some form of user interaction (for passcode/biometrics entry) will probably complicate things, but given that it's open source, I doubt this part would be the big blocker. In the worst case, it could probably happen outside of Swift Crypto (directly or through another library).

I'm closing this issue for now, since Linux support for the Secure Enclave API is not on the horizon yet. If this becomes possible, then this issue can be reopened.
