dm-crypt
|
||
|
|
=========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Device-Mapper's "crypt" target provides transparent encryption of block devices
|
||
|
|
using the kernel crypto API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Parameters: <cipher> <key> <iv_offset> <device path> <offset>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<cipher>
|
||
|
|
Encryption cipher and an optional IV generation mode.
|
||
|
|
(In format cipher-chainmode-ivopts:ivmode).
|
||
|
|
Examples:
|
||
|
|
des
|
||
|
|
aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
|
||
|
|
twofish-ecb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/proc/crypto contains supported crypto modes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<key>
|
||
|
|
Key used for encryption. It is encoded as a hexadecimal number.
|
||
|
|
You can only use key sizes that are valid for the selected cipher.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<iv_offset>
|
||
|
|
The IV offset is a sector count that is added to the sector number
|
||
|
|
before creating the IV.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<device path>
|
||
|
|
This is the device that is going to be used as backend and contains the
|
||
|
|
encrypted data. You can specify it as a path like /dev/xxx or a device
|
||
|
|
number <major>:<minor>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<offset>
|
||
|
|
Starting sector within the device where the encrypted data begins.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

===============
|
||
|
|
LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) is now the preferred way to set up disk
|
||
|
|
encryption with dm-crypt using the 'cryptsetup' utility, see
