Hello, In order to better understand how cryptsetup works, I'm asking if there is a 'big picture' or a debug mode explaining how things are done. (I'm asking about cryptsetup, not LUKS). e.g. An explanation as. Password is taken from command line. A read is made through /dev/mapper/crypted_disk The first block is read. The AES-128-cbc operation is computed with options like, iv= K= or salt=... When we write a block, then which things are done, and so on. Is there a tech documentation explaining that? The goal for me would to use openssl in order to make a decryption of a disk ciphered by cryptsetup and vice-versa. In a second time, I would think that it works the salme way with Luks, excepts that the password is read from the luks header nad crypto operation begins beyond the luks header.
