===Encrpytion Options===
* You can see defaults using <code>cryptsetup --help</code>.
* <code>--type</code> [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption#Encryption_options_with_dm-crypt options]
** <code>luks</code> defaults to <code>luks1</code> on cryptsetup < 2.1.0, <code>luks2</code> on cryptsetup >= 2.1.0
** <code>luks1</code> is the old version of LUKS.
** <code>luks2</code> is the current version released in Dec 2017. Older versions of Grub (before 2.06 or June 2020) do not support booting from LUKS2.
** <code>plain</code> is dm-crypt plain mode. Avoid this unless you know what you're doing.
** <code>loopaes</code> Avoid this as well.
** <code>tcrypt</code> Use this for mounting older truecrypt volumes.
* <code>--iter-time</code> dynamically determines the number of iterations used to hash your password. The number of iterations is determined when creating the luks key. E.g. <code>5000</code> means hash for 5 seconds worth of iterations on your particular CPU. You can see the number of iterations for each key with <code>cryptsetup luksDump &lt;device&gt;</code>.

LUKS encryption

Getting Started

See Archwiki: dm-crypt/Device encryption.

Install cryptsetup

sudo apt install cryptsetup

Encrypting a device

# Examples
DEVICE=/dev/sda
NAME=arr1

# Setup encryption
cryptsetup -v luksFormat "${DEVICE}"

# Open encrypted drive to /dev/mapper/$NAME
cryptsetup open "${DEVICE}" "${NAME}"

# Create a partition
mkfs.btrfs /dev/mapper/${NAME}
mount -t btrfs /dev/mapper/${NAME} /media/${NAME}

# Fill the drive to overwrite any existing raw data (optional)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/$NAME/file status=progress

Mounting

# Open the encrypted drive
cryptsetup open "${DEVICE}" "${NAME}"
# Mount your partition
mount -t btrfs /dev/mapper/${NAME} "${MOUNT_LOCATION}"

Unmounting

# Unmount your partition
umount "${MOUNT_LOCATION}"
# Close the decrypted drive
cryptsetup close ${NAME}

Encrpytion Options

  • You can see defaults using cryptsetup --help.
  • --type options
    • luks defaults to luks1 on cryptsetup < 2.1.0, luks2 on cryptsetup >= 2.1.0
    • luks1 is the old version of LUKS.
    • luks2 is the current version released in Dec 2017. Older versions of Grub (before 2.06 or June 2020) do not support booting from LUKS2.
    • plain is dm-crypt plain mode. Avoid this unless you know what you're doing.
    • loopaes Avoid this as well.
    • tcrypt Use this for mounting older truecrypt volumes.
  • --iter-time dynamically determines the number of iterations used to hash your password. The number of iterations is determined when creating the luks key. E.g. 5000 means hash for 5 seconds worth of iterations on your particular CPU. You can see the number of iterations for each key with cryptsetup luksDump <device>.

Adiantum

If you're running a device which does not support hardware accelerated AES instructions (e.g. Raspberry Pi), you may be interested in Adiantum[1].
Adiantum is an encryption mode by Google which uses ChaCha12 for block encryption. It is included in Linux kernel v5.0.

Creation
cryptsetup -v --type luks2 --cipher xchacha12,aes-adiantum --sector-size 4096 \
           --key-size 256 --hash sha512 --iter-time 5000 --use-urandom \
           --verify-passphrase luksFormat <device>
Benchmark[2]
cryptsetup benchmark -c xchacha12,aes-adiantum

Scripts

mount_drives.sh
#!/bin/bash

function mount_luks {
    local fstype=$1
    local device=$2
    local name=$3
    local mountpoint=$4
    if [ ! -b /dev/mapper/"$name" ]
    then
        sudo cryptsetup open "$device" "$name"
    fi
    sudo mkdir -p "$mountpoint"
    sudo mount -t $fstype /dev/mapper/"$name" "$mountpoint"
}

mount_luks btrfs /dev/disk/by-id/<drive> lukscrypt1 /media/lukscrypt1
unmount_drives.sh
#!/bin/bash

function unmount_luks {
    local name=$1
    local mountlocation=$2
    sudo umount "$mountlocation" && \
    sudo rm -r "$mountlocation"
    sudo cryptsetup close "$name"
}

unmount_luks lukscrypt1 /media/lukscrypt1
