Package: cryptsetup (20050111-3)

configures encrypted block devices

Since kernel 2.6.4, encrypted filesystem support is provided by the device mapper target dm-crypt. This utility provides a command-line interface for configuring this facility.

cryptsetup is backwards compatible with the on-disk format of cryptoloop, but also supports more secure formats. This package also includes support for automatically configuring encrypted devices at boot time via the config file /etc/crypttab. When combined with newer versions of the debian initrd-tools and standard debian kernels, cryptoroot is also supported.

For information on how to convert your system to use encrypted filesystems please read /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/CryptoRoot.HowTo .
