As cyber threats continue to evolve, ensuring the security of sensitive data is more crucial than ever. Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) is a robust encryption standard designed to protect data at rest. This article will guide you through the process of setting up LUKS on Linux, explain how it works, how to change the passphrase if needed, and how to configure your system to automatically mount the LUKS-encrypted partition at boot.

Encrypting KVM Volumes as LVM Logical Volumes with LUKS
Encrypting storage volumes ensures that sensitive information is protected, even if physical devices are lost or stolen. This post will guide you through encrypting KVM volumes as LVM logical volumes on Debian 12. We’ll cover setting up LVM, encrypting the volumes with LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup), and integrating them into your KVM setup.
