Does (or can) this crypto discussion also cover cryptsetup /dm luks? I use this type of encryption with my desktop linux system.

* Detailed kernel compilation with cryptsetup with config images are here

* These modules were mentioned in this posting:
dm-mod (required for dm-*)
dm-crypt
Devicemapper (userspace binaries for dm-mod)
dmsetup or cryptsetup-luks (frontends for dm-* API)

* Further links: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
