 This not only facilitates compatibility and interoperability among different programs, but also assures that they all implement password management in a secure and documented manner.The reference implementation for LUKS operates on Linux and is based on an enhanced version of cryptsetup, using dm-crypt as the disk encryption backend.Under Microsoft Windows, LUKS-encrypted disks can be used with the now defunct FreeOTFE (formerly DoxBox, LibreCrypt).
