Comments on Three ways to easily encrypt your data on Linux
Data encryption is one very solid security measure/precaution that everyone who owns data with significant personal or objective value should perform. What data encryption does is securing your data when they fall into the wrong hands. There are many tutorials on howtoforge.com that show one way or another to decrypt your data. This one will show the most easy-to-use tools that can do the job for us. For this purpose, I will showcase the decryption of a removable media drive.

Hi,
altough a bit off-topic, but what distro and foremost what window manager was used here? I love that look and would like to have my ubuntu box look similar.
ThanksJoshko
Hello Josh,The system is ElementaryOS which is an Ubuntu-based GNU/Linux distribution. https://elementary.io/
What desktop environment are you using for this tutorial?
Ta!, N
That GUI looks very similar to Pantheon.
Isn't it now so that with the most used File System in Linux, I think being EXT4, you can encrypt anything at the FS level?
Linux has LUKS, which can encrypt partitions or do whole-disk encryption. When you create a new partition, the partition manager will give you the option to, say, encrypt the /home directory.
