Full disk-encryption question
by lester29 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FSZV)
I need to set up full disk encryption of the linux in my laptop.
Questions:
1. Does an encryption key on the USB protect against rubber-hose cryptanalysis?
2. Is it true that key on pendrive is more risky than password because someone can steal the usb key and access data without the need of password?
3. What do you think about simply encrypting the disk with LUKS and do encrypted backups?
My threat model is someone stealing my laptop rather than FBI, government :-D
Thank you, lester29
