July 2024 Meeting: LUKS Disk Encryption in Windows

Presentations/Topics: The Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) is a disk encryption specification originally intended for Linux. LUKS implements a platform-independent standard on-disk format for use in various tools. This facilitates compatibility and interoperability among different programs and operating systems, and assures that they all implement password management in a secure and documented manner.

JMB will show us how to configure a Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer to access a LUKS-encrypted USB-SSD drive.

The key features are:
In Windows 10/11, access, store & backup files to a locally mounted USB-SSD.
The ext4-formatted USB-SSD is Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) encrypted.
Only the owner of the computer has the decryption “key”.
The key (passphrase) can just be memorized, written on paper, etc.
The key can but does need not be stored on any electronic device.
Use free and open source software (FOSS).
Not reliant on any cloud-based storage.
Use a device that can be:
Easily attached / detached
Physically stored in a secure location of one’s choosing
Small and reasonably portable
A capacity that one’s budget will allow (100’s GB / 1+ TB)
Affordable and incur only an initial cost (no subscription fees).
