ScramDisk for Linux (SD4L)

Open-source disk encryption software for Linux, protecting confidential data with AES-256 bit and XTS mode encryption

What is ScramDisk for Linux - SD4L?

ScramDisk for Linux (SD4L) is an open-source, free disk encryption utility that allows Linux users to encrypt partitions or entire disks. It aims to provide confidentiality of data by securely encrypting disks with AES-256 bit encryption which is considered very strong.

SD4L is designed specifically for Linux and utilizes the device mapper infrastructure and dm-crypt subsystem in the Linux kernel to provide transparent encryption and decryption of block devices. It supports XTS mode which provides added protection against manipulation attacks.

Some of the key features of SD4L include:

• Strong AES-256 bit XTS mode encryption for disks/partitions
• Utilizes dm-crypt for transparent encryption/decryption
• Open source software released under GPLv2+ license
• Command line interface for encryption, mounting/unmounting devices
• Supports creation of encrypted containers or file vaults
• Encryption of swap space to prevent leaks
• Uses a small 200kb boot loader for decryption

SD4L can be a good option for Linux users, system administrators or companies looking for an open source disk encryption solution to protect confidential data by encrypting disks and partitions.
