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 bietet eine Kommandozeilenschnittstelle zur Konfiguration verschlüsselter Geräte (wie beispielsweise /home- oder Swap-Partitionen). Das wird durch die Nutzung des Ziels »dm-crypt« des Device-Mappers des Linux-Kernels getan. Es bietet Unterstützung für LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup).

Cryptsetup ist rückwärtskompatibel mit dem on-disk-Format von cryptoloop, unterstützt aber auch sicherere Formate. Dieses Paket bietet außerdem Unterstützung für die automatische Konfiguration verschlüsselter Geräte während des Bootvorgangs (mittels der Konfigurationsdatei /etc/crypttab). Weitere Merkmale sind die Unterstützung von cryptoroot durch die initramfs- Werkzeuge und verschiedene Methoden, eine Passphrase oder einen Schlüssel zu lesen.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: mandos-client
