What the frick are they smoking at Microsoft

>Be Microsoft
>develop bitlocker boot drive encryption
>provide pre-boot environment to get keys from TPM and if setup request user PIN input
>even provide support for keyfile on external USB-drive
okay
>be me
>have yubikey
>already carry yubikey
>want to use yubikey with PIV certificate with because TPM is moronic
>want to use yubikey because carrying another USB-drive is moronic
>spend/waste hours on google
>should_be_possible.pfx
>spend/waste multiple weekends trying to set it up
>apparently impossible, Bitlocker+smartcards is only possible for for non-boot disks like a secondary partition/drive or external storage
>none of the tutorials, threads etc mention this anywhere
>commercial solutions are available but are so enterprise-oriented they don't even list their prices online
>have to resort to Veracrypt or some shit

I hate Microsoft so fricking bad. Please tell me it is actually possible. Or make it make sense.

    Ok OP, I'll try:
    Bitlocker is encryption. This is when your data is scrambled in a way that makes it harder to read. It's like if you mixed up all the pages in your favorite story, but in a way that it can be read in the correct order if you have the correct order to read those pages (in this case, a "key"). This is so data is harder to obtain if your device is lost or stolen.

    I hope this helps.

    You missed the part where the TPM only releases the decryption passphrase after boot measurements match expected values.
    Unlike your Yubikey, which can't read those registers.
    So your entire rant is the result of you not understanding the purpose of Bitlocker.

      Perhaps I do and I just don't want to store the decryption key on the TPM since you can just sniff it from the system bus
      PINs can easily be learned by (camera) observation so thats still not enough
      If I'm not near my computer, I have the key on a smartcard in my wallet and the pin memorised
      Say someone would gain access to my computer with the PIN they still wouldn't get anywhere

        It is much easier to sniff it from the USBus, so your point is moot.

            Step 1: insert USB sniffer inside PC

            Step 3: collect passphrase

            Nice try but that requires manipulation of my hardware whilst remaining undetected by me, which is an non-negligible extra level of difficulty that thwarts many bad actors. Otherwise just steal it and compromise to your hearts desire with only the TPM+PIN

            The TPM will erase itself after a few incorrect PINs.

            So someone can shoulder surf your ass enough to see the PIN despite your paranoia, but they won't be able to also get their hands on your key for a couple minutes to dump the key?
            You're dreaming.

            NTA, but what you just described was an evil maid attack which is wildly different from what the OP is worried about. With TPM you can physically take the PC and unlock the drive later by abusing TPM's design flaws. With the hardware key, you'd have to install physical malware into the PC, let the user use the PC normally, then go back and collect the PC after it had been used and the data had been collected.

            The defense against your attack is the same as any other evil maid attack -- use some sort of identifying markings or material on the PC's screws and inspect them before logging into the PC. The defense against the TPM attack is to not use the TPM.

    been suffering over the same thing. afaik not possible.
    best you can do is tpm + pin or disable tpm and just use a long password, then make the yubikey type it. both options suck

    another thing i hate is that you can't RDP with yubikey without being AD joined
