@MattReyer I've read general good advice for linux is to read a few random bytes (32, 64, 128, 256, depends on the cipher & perhaps key processing) from /dev/random on a running well-used system (an embedded system with virtually no input may have poor "randomness"). Cryptsetup's FAQ 2.12 What are the security requirements for a key read from file? has head -c 256 /dev/random > keyfile
