The downside is that they keyfile sits on an unencrypted disk every time the machine is shutdown correctly. Not sure if this exactly answers your scenario but it is a start.The problem with having it written to disk is that it is easily recovered. All an attacker would have to do is find where it was written and recover it. Is there a way to avoid that? Too bad I can't keep a RAM drive active when the system is off. That would be the best solution. That way, if they unplugged it, it's gone...
The Gigabyte i-RAM might come in handy in this scenario. -- Lukasz
