LUKS encryption
Getting Started
See Archwiki: dm-crypt/Device encryption.
Encrypting a device
- Setup encryption
cryptsetup -v --type luks --cipher aes-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash sha512 \
--iter-time 3000 --use-urandom --verify-passphrase luksFormat <device>
- Open encrypted drive
cryptsetup open <device> <name>
- Create a partition
mkfs.fstype /dev/mapper/<name> # E.g. # mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/luksdrive1
Mounting
# Decrypt the drive cryptsetup open <device> <name> # Mount your partition mount -t <fstype> /dev/mapper/<name> <mountlocation>
Unmounting
umount <mountlocation> cryptsetup close <name>
