Encrypt Partitions Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 natively supports partition encryption through the Linux Unified Key Setup-on-disk-format (LUKS) technology. The easiest way to encrypt a partition is during installation time. For manual installations, select the 'Encrypt' checkbox during partition creation to encrypt the partition. When this option is selected the system will prompt for a passphrase to use in decrypting the partition. The passphrase will subsequently need to be entered manually every time the system boots. For automated/unattended installations, it is possible to use Kickstart by adding the '--encrypted' and '--passphrase=' options to the definition of each partition to be encrypted. For example, the following line would encrypt the root partition: 'part / --fstype=ext4 --size=100 --onpart=hda1 --encrypted --passphrase=PASSPHRASE' Any


Parameter:


Technical Mechanism:

The risk of a system's physical compromise, particularly mobile systems such as laptops, places its data at risk of compromise. Encrypting this data mitigates the risk of its loss if the system is lost. Fix: No Remediation Info
