Full disk encryption useless as it seems easy to bypass?
by bmxakias from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55635)
Hello
I was thinking to use the full disk encryption that most modern linux distros offer like Ubuntu .....
The problem seems that if i set an encryption key for full disk encryption all someone that is need to change it or add a new key and be able to read my data is the root password.
The root password seems very easy change also with physical access....
I was looking for a solution that no one without that encryption key will be able to access my data even with physical access...
Am i wrong? Do i miss something?
Please let me know....
Thank you
