 For our demonstration, we will just create some random data to be used as our filesystem encryption key via:
 {{{#!bash
-dd if=/dev/urandom of=fs.key bs=1 count=4096
-}}}
+dd if=/dev/urandom of=fs.key bs=1 count=128
+}}}

+In this example, we're using a 128-byte key to ensure compatibility with both TPM-enabled and non-TPM systems. According to the TPM documentation, the 'tpm2_create' command allows for the creation of a sealing object with a maximum size of 128 bytes, enabling the sealing of user data to the TPM. However, it's worth noting that the 'cryptsetup luksFormat' command supports keyfiles of up to 8192 KiB. If you're operating without a TPM, opting for a longer key generally enhances security.
 
 The init script we will use can be created like this:
