LUKS = Linux Unified Key Setup

>From Rob: "Anyone with a smart-phone knows how loosing it would feel.
What if not only are you out the device, but you're responsible for
loosing personal data or information sensitive to your company?  I had
always intended to find a mechanism to protect data stored on my
Android device, and eventually got around to looking into it.  Luckily
the same tool 'LUKS' exists in Linux for use on our laptops.  It's
even binary compatible with the Android version.  The only downside is
that you need a rooted android phone and crypto modules for your
phones kernel."

>From the LUKS site: "LUKS is the standard for Linux hard disk
encryption. By providing a standard on-disk-format, it does not only
facilitate compatibility among distributions, but also provides secure
management of multiple user passwords. In contrast to existing
solution, LUKS stores all setup necessary setup information in the
partition header, enabling the user to transport or migrate his data
seamlessly.  LUKS was designed according to TKS1" which is an
"anti-forensic, two level, and iterated key setup scheme"
