Hi all,
I went through the HOWTO on full system encryption (located here:
http://www.howtoforge.com/encrypting...ion-ubuntu8.04), except with Jaunty. It went fantastic, yet I have a few questions.
- What scheme is used to actually encrypt the swap file? Would it be the one initially selected during install (in this case, AES), or something different?
- If one were to change the password for a partition using luksAddKey/luksRemoveKey, would that mess up the encryption strength? I was always under the assumption that the password chosen actually influences the math behind the overall encryption.
- For some reason, the last step with using a keyfile-one password won't work for me. The parts that say "sdX" -- would I change those to the exact encrypted partitions (say, sda6?), or just sda?
Awesome how-to, Stephen Jau! And TIA to anyone who can answer these questions!
