cryptsetup

Description: disk encryption support - startup scripts
Cryptsetup provides an interface for configuring encryption on block
devices (such as /home or swap partitions), using the Linux kernel
device mapper target dm-crypt. It features integrated Linux Unified Key
Setup (LUKS) support.
.
Cryptsetup is backwards compatible with the on-disk format of cryptoloop,
but also supports more secure formats. This package includes support for
automatically configuring encrypted devices at boot time via the config
file /etc/crypttab. Additional features are cryptoroot support through
initramfs-tools and several supported ways to read a passphrase or key.
