What the ...?
=============
**Cryptsetup** is utility used to conveniently setup disk encryption based
on [DMCrypt](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/DMCrypt) kernel module.
These include **plain** **dm-crypt** volumes, **LUKS** volumes, **loop-AES**
and **TrueCrypt** (including **VeraCrypt** extension) format.
Project also includes **veritysetup** utility used to conveniently setup
[DMVerity](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/DMVerity) block integrity checking kernel module
and, since version 2.0, **integritysetup** to setup
[DMIntegrity](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/DMIntegrity) block integrity kernel module.
LUKS Design
-----------
**LUKS** is the standard for Linux hard disk encryption. By providing a standard on-disk-format, it does not
only facilitate compatibility among distributions, but also provides secure management of multiple user passwords.
LUKS stores all necessary setup information in the partition header, enabling to transport or migrate data seamlessly.
Last version of the LUKS format specification is
[available here](https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/cryptsetup/LUKS_docs/on-disk-format.pdf).
Why LUKS?
---------
* compatibility via standardization,
* secure against low entropy attacks,
* support for multiple keys,
* effective passphrase revocation,
* free.
