We recommend that you use:
VeraCrypt to share encrypted files across different operating systems.
LUKS to encrypt files for Tails and Linux.
LUKS | VeraCrypt | |
---|---|---|
Compatibility | Linux | Windows + macOS + Linux |
Create new volumes | Yes | Outside of Tails |
Open and modify existing volumes | Yes | Yes |
Encrypted partitions (or entire disks) ¹ | Yes | Yes |
Encrypted file containers ¹ | Complicated | Easy |
Plausible deniability ² | No | Yes |
Ease of use | Easier | More complicated |
Speed | Faster | Slower |
Guardate la differenza tra contenitori di file e partizioni.
Negazione plausibile: In alcuni casi (per esempio con i volumi nascosti VeraCrypt), è impossibile per un avversario provare tecnicamente l'esistente di un volume criptato.
Still, deniable encryption might not protect you if you are forced to reveal the existence of the encrypted volume. See VeraCrypt: Plausible Deniability.
