Cascading LUKS devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm new to LUKS and I wonder if it makes sense to cascade LUKS devices
with different ciphers, i.e. a Serpent over an AES over a Twofish
device. The idea is if one of the ciphers is broken in the future, the
data is still secure as long as the other ciphers are good. Does this
work and really increase security? Or does it decrease security in the
end?

Thanks
Thomas
