Bug Description
Cryptsetup is utility used to conveniently setup disk encryption based
on DMCrypt kernel module.
These include plain dm-crypt volumes, LUKS volumes, loop-AES
and TrueCrypt (including VeraCrypt extension) format.
Project also includes veritysetup utility used to conveniently setup
DMVerity block integrity checking kernel module
and, since version 2.0, integritysetup to setup
DMIntegrity block integrity kernel module.
Version 2.0.3 include all z code for dm-crypt with protected keys
Version 2.0.4
* Fix on-disk header size calculation for LUKS2 format if a specific
data alignment is requested. Until now, the code used default size
that could be wrong for converted devices.

Cryptsetup 2.0.6 Release Notes
=======
Stable bug-fix release.
All users of cryptsetup 2.0.x should upgrade to this version.
Cryptsetup 2.x version introduces a new on-disk LUKS2 format.
The legacy LUKS (referenced as LUKS1) will be fully supported
forever as well as a traditional and fully backward compatible format.
Please note that authenticated disk encryption, non-cryptographic
data integrity protection (dm-integrity), use of Argon2 Password-Based
Key Derivation Function and the LUKS2 on-disk format itself are new
features and can contain some bugs.
Please do not use LUKS2 without properly configured backup or in
production systems that need to be compatible with older systems.
Changes since version 2.0.5
~~~~~~~
* Fix support of larger metadata areas in LUKS2 header.
This release properly supports all specified metadata areas, as documented
in LUKS2 format description (see docs/on-
Currently, only default metadata area size is used (in format or convert).
Later cryptsetup versions will allow increasing this metadata area size.
* If AEAD (authenticated encryption) is used, cryptsetup now tries to check
if the requested AEAD algorithm with specified key size is available
in kernel crypto API.
This change avoids formatting a device that cannot be later activated.
For this function, the kernel must be compiled with the
CONFIG_
Note that kernel user crypto API options (CONFIG_
CONFIG_
* Fix setting of integrity no-journal flag.
Now you can store this flag to metadata using --persistent option.
* Fix cryptsetup-
if interrupted during initial password prompt.
* Adds early check to plain and LUKS2 formats to disallow device format
if device size is not aligned to requested sector size.
Previously it was possible, and the device was rejected to activate by
kernel later.
* Fix checking of hash algorithms availability for PBKDF early.
Previously LUKS2 format allowed non-existent hash algorithm with
invalid keyslot preventing the device from activation.
* Allow Adiantum cipher construction (a non-authenticated length-preserving
fast encryption scheme), so it can be used both for data encryption and
keyslot encryption in LUKS1/2 devices.
For benchmark, use:
# cryptsetup benchmark -c xchacha12,
# cryptsetup benchmark -c xchacha20,
For LUKS format:
# cryptsetup luksFormat -c xchacha20,
The support for Adiantum will be merged in Linux kernel 4.21.
