I was searching for a valid and still up-to-date way of encrypting hard disks. After some research I encountered LUKS and decided to give it a shot. So I looked up some examples of how to properly encrypt an HDD with it, like this:cryptsetup --verbose --cipher aes-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash sha512 --iter-time 5000 --use-random luksFormat /dev/sda3The --cipher and --hash part of it was most interesting for me, so I tried to inform myself regarding different ciphers and hashes that are specifically usable for LUKS. I couldn't find any useful information besides opening a file which shows the available encryption forms in a machine-friendly formatting for the currently used Linux. But as I was told even this file is probably missing the full extent of all encryption ways besides it being very hard to read for someone who doesn't deal with it on a daily basis, anyway.My question: is there a full list of ciphers/hashes for LUKS encryption? One that simply shows me what I can choose... and maybe gives a short description on what exactly the differences between those different ways are.
