Hey people,
Could you give me your impressions about the use (only in Linux) of dm-crypt + LUKS instead of truecrypt?
The developers for Tails (https://tails.boum.org/) chose LUKS for Tails 1.0.1 ~ LUKS being a version of cryptsetup, using dm-crypt on backend. This is what you are suggesting to use I guess? I'd say the Tails developers made a good choice.
For me there is no need to use my encrypted disks with OSX or Windows, so, due the last movements of truecrypt, I am planning to move my encrypted disks from truecrypt to dm-crypt + LUKS.
Did you see is as a bad decision, in terms of possible flaws in dm-crypt?
Not a bad decision at all. Here is an excellent post about some reasonable options... http://grugq.tumblr.com/post/60464139008/alternative-truecrypt-implementatio...
