Description:

The luks-tools package contains various utilities for working with
LUKS-protected filesystems. HAL uses these utilites to automatically
mount encrypted volumes when they are attached to a system, provided
the user can produce the correct passphrase. These utilities are
written as separate programs to allow MAC systems like SELinux to
have fine-grained control over them.

luks-format
A utility that formats a filesystem to contain a LUKS encryption
header.

luks-is-encrypted
A tool that can determine if a filesystem contains a LUKS
encryption header.

luks-setup
A utility that sets up the dm-crypt device map for a partition.

gnome-luks-format
A GNOME front-end for luks-format.
