Linux partition Encryption

Partition Encryption

LUKS (Linux unified key settings) is a standard device encryption format. LUKS can encrypt partitions or volumes. Mount

When partitioning a file system, you must first decrypt the encrypted partition or volume.

1. Create a New Partition

2. encrypt the new partition and set the password. Enter the correct password for decryption. The encrypted partition will be unlocked to/dev/mapper/

Create an ext3 File System for the decrypted block File

3. Create a mount point and mount the file system.

5. Create a password file. Pay attention to the permissions of the password file and add the key file to the LUKS key. 650) this. width = 650; "src =" http://img1.51cto.com/attachment/201309/001828646.png "title =" 8.png" alt = "001828646.png"/>

6. The password is automatically loaded at startup and partitions are automatically mounted.
