it was suggested that my post (https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/73140/is-there-an-aes-256-luks-encryption-option-in-fedora?noredirect=1#comment120019_73140) would be better if I asked it here.
So here goes:
I have certain information on my drive that I don't want anyone (not even me ;) ) to gain access to. I read recently that Fedora only offers AES 128 LUKS encryption. This just isn't secure enough for me. I want 256 or stronger for my entire drive.
Now I'm confused because on this site: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Security_Guide/sect-Security_Guide-LUKS_Disk_Encryption.html it says that Fedora only supports 128 - bit. Though here: How secure is Ubuntu's default full-disk encryption? it says that LUKS uses 256 - bit, or is this for Ubuntu only.
Is there a way that I can use 256 or stronger AES full disk encryption on Fedora?
I'm sorry that I have to ask this question in two places. I thought that security forum would be better fit due to it being all about security. I didn't know that it is a system specific configuration/question.
Yes, sorry, I don't feel that AES 128 is secure enough. I want AES 256. – user4155352 – 2014-11-18T21:14:12.817
The documentation says that the default algorithm is AES 128, not that it's the only version available. – Cristian Ciupitu – 2018-06-17T18:01:44.763
