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.
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.
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]
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]
Artix Linux has its own repositories, and it is not recommended by developers to use Arch packages due to differences such as naming conventions and contrasting init systems. Arch OpenRC [6] and Manjaro OpenRC were started in 2012. In 2017, [7] [8] these projects were split and Artix Linux was created.
pkg-config is software development tool that queries information about libraries from a local, file-based database for the purpose of building a codebase that depends on them. . It allows for sharing a codebase in a cross-platform way by using host-specific library information that is stored outside of yet referenced by the codeba
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;
OpenSSH (also known as OpenBSD Secure Shell [a]) is a suite of secure networking utilities based on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, which provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client–server architecture.
