From reading the FAQ, my understanding is that in the event the header getting destroyed I need ONE of the following for data recovery to be feasible:
- header backup + one passphrase
- the master key
By "master key" I am referring to the 256 bits printed out in hexadecimal by "cryptsetup luksDump --dump-master-key [device]".
Is it correct that these 256 bits are by themselves sufficient to unlock the volume? Or would I still need the salt to be intact in the header? (My understanding from reading the FAQ is that the salt is not required if I have the master key.)
thank you
