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 fornisce un'interfaccia per configurare la cifratura su dispositivi a blocchi (come partizioni /home o swap), tramite il device mapper del kernel Linux dm-crypt. Integra il supporto per LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup).

Cryptsetup è compatibile all'indietro con il formato sul disco di cryptoloop, ma gestisce anche formati più sicuri. Questo pacchetto include anche il supporto per configurare automaticamente i device cifrati all'avvio del sistema tramite il file di configurazione /etc/crypttab. Come funzionalità aggiuntive ci sono la gestione di cryptoroot tramite initramfs-tools e svariati modi per leggere una passphrase o una chiave.

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