cryptsetup

Manage plain dm-crypt and LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) encrypted volumes.

  • Initialize a LUKS volume (overwrites all data on the partition):

cryptsetup luksFormat {{/dev/sda1}}

  • Open a LUKS volume and create a decrypted mapping at /dev/mapper/{{target}}:

cryptsetup luksOpen {{/dev/sda1}} {{target}}

  • Remove an existing mapping:

cryptsetup luksClose {{target}}

  • Change the LUKS volume's passphrase:

cryptsetup luksChangeKey {{/dev/sda1}}
