Description

Mounts encrypted filesystems in a way that can be delegated to ordinary users. It is useful for protecting private data while still allowing configured non-root users to open encrypted volumes.

Encryption tools can lock users out if keys, passphrases, or configuration are lost. Back up headers and recovery information, and test mounts before storing irreplaceable data.
