+
+What the ...?
+=============
+**Cryptsetup** is a utility used to conveniently set up disk encryption based
+on the [DMCrypt](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/DMCrypt) kernel module.
+
+These include **plain** **dm-crypt** volumes, **LUKS** volumes, **loop-AES**,
+**TrueCrypt** (including **VeraCrypt** extension) and **BitLocker** formats.
+
+The project also includes a **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 LUKS2 format specification is
+[available here](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/LUKS2-docs).
+
+Last version of the LUKS1 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.
