Interesting, how can fingerprints be used as a cryptographic unlocking method on Linux? Does this involve the TPM somehow, or does the security model assume a non-compromised userspace and/or kernel?



I don't know about all of linux, but default Fedora (gnome keyring) appears to support TPM since 2016.
