Hi Reza,

Nothing’s been done wrt. to “authenticated boot” AFAIK (I have
reservations about the concept).

Full disk encryption works but it’s done like in other distros, as
described in the article.  One big failure IMO is the fact that
nothing’s done upon suspend (when closing the laptop lid).  I believe
systemd-homed addresses that properly.

There’s a lot in this article, I’d suggest identifying specific bits to
see whether/how we can implement them in Guix!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
