luksFormat Password Entropy

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

 



For luksFormat, is there a difference in password strength between the
following two passwords?

1.) <256bitsecret>

2.) <256bitsecret> | base64

Does the use of PBKDF2 make the longer but less entropy password #2
equivalent to #1?

Thanks!
Mike
