On a Linux system, the boot partition (/boot) may be encrypted if the bootloader itself supports LUKS (e.g. GRUB). This is undertaken to prevent tampering with the Linux kernel. However, the first stage bootloader or an EFI system partition cannot be encrypted (see Full disk encryption#The boot key problem). [14]
dm-crypt is a transparent block device encryption subsystem in Linux kernel versions 2.6 and later and in DragonFly BSD.It is part of the device mapper (dm) infrastructure, and uses cryptographic routines from the kernel's Crypto API.
eCryptfs (enterprise cryptographic filesystem) is a package of disk encryption software for Linux. Its implementation is a POSIX-compliant [1] filesystem-level encryption layer, aiming to offer functionality similar to that of GnuPG at the operating system level, [2] and has been part of the Linux kernel since version 2.6.19.
Pacman, a package manager written specifically for Arch Linux, is used to install, remove and update software packages. [11] An alternative is the Arch User Repository (AUR), which is the community-driven repository for Arch Linux; AUR packages can be downloaded and built, or installed through an AUR 'helper'.
Pacman: Used in Arch Linux, Frugalware and DeLi Linux. Its binary package format is a compressed tar archive (default file extension: .pkg.tar.zst) built using the makepkg utility (which comes bundled with pacman) and a specialized type of shell script called a PKGBUILD; PETget: Used by Puppy Linux;
yescrypt is a cryptographic key derivation function function used for password hashing on Fedora Linux, [1] Debian, [2] Ubuntu, [3] and Arch Linux. [4] The function is more resistant to offline password-cracking attacks than SHA-512. [5] It is based on Scrypt. [5]
Bcachefs is a copy-on-write (COW) file system for Linux-based operating systems. [3] Features include caching, [4] full file-system encryption using the ChaCha20 and Poly1305 algorithms, [5] native compression [4] via LZ4, gzip [6] and Zstandard, [7] snapshots, [4] CRC-32C and 64-bit checksumming. [3] It can span block devices, including in ...
