The encryption key can be either a passphrase or a keyfile. The passphrase is something the user has to memorize or store somewhere. The keyfile can be text or binary content, and must be stored in a safe place. Upon startup the passphrase or keyfile is locally copied to /root/keyfile and this file is used to unlock the actual encryption/decryption key of LUKS Link to comment
