Description

LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) is an open-source disk encryption system, which is used to secure data stored on disk drives. It is a disk encryption specification used in Linux operating systems which provide a standard format for storing and encrypting disk data. It provides a secure, reliable, and efficient way to encrypt disks. It uses a master key, which is stored in a secure location, and a passphrase to protect the encrypted data. The master key is used to encrypt and decrypt the data, while the passphrase is used to verify the integrity of the encrypted data. LUKS supports multiple encryption algorithms, including AES, Twofish, and Serpent. Data can be encrypted with a variety of key lengths and hashing algorithms. It also supports multiple partitions, allowing for the encryption of multiple disks with a single master key. LUKS provides a secure way to store data and prevent unauthorized access.
