UEFI pre-boot loader framework for VolumeCrypt-Kit
Documentation

vck-loader — UEFI loader framework for volumecrypt-kit.

This crate provides the loader-side mechanisms described in docs/architecture.md ("lib/loader"); the sample loader drives the flow itself and owns the crypto policy:

  • [init]: start banner + enable the SSE/XMM control bits AES-NI needs.
  • Block IO hooking engine ([hook::BlockIoHookEngine]): given a sample-built [HookGeometry] + VolumeCipher, hooks EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL and EFI_BLOCK_IO2_PROTOCOL so that the OS volume data region is decrypted transparently while it is read during boot.
  • Handover ([handover]): publishes the driver handover payload as a UEFI runtime variable (the driver reads it at OS runtime).
  • Chainloading ([chainload]): loads and starts the next EFI image (the OS boot manager).

Full compilation targets a UEFI triple and requires the WEDK toolchain (G:\, see AGENTS.md); host builds are not expected.
