cryptsetup
Cryptsetup offers a command-line interface to set up
cryptographic volumes. This is achieved using the Linux kernel device
mapper target
dm-crypt.
It has integrated support for LUKS.
cryptsetup is backwards compatible with the on-disk format of
cryptoloop, but also supports more secure formats. This package
includes support for automatically configuring encrypted devices at
boot time via the config file /etc/crypttab. Additional features are
cryptoroot support through initramfs-tools and several supported ways
to read a passphrase or key.
