Summary
Disk encryption
Debian Disk Encryption Packages
This metapackage will install packages useful for disk encryption in Debian.
The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Freedom Tools Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Freedom Tools which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Freedom Tools
to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to
send a description of that project to the Debian Freedom Tools mailing list

Cryptsetup provides an interface for configuring encryption on block
devices (such as /home or swap partitions), using the Linux kernel
device mapper target dm-crypt. It features integrated Linux Unified Key
Setup (LUKS) support.
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.
