significantly slower disk encryption speed with LUKS against VeraCrypt
I understand that this comparison alone is not right to determine such outcomes but the difference in encryption is pretty huge and not just few minutes. Have used default settings used by Tails and VeraCrypt with AES/512 as is.
- Remove all partitions/format/zeroed out before beginning to ensure more refined results.
- Encrypt whole disk with LUKS, note time taken. Repeat 1. and test with VeraCrypt again. note time taken.
Also, I have reopened the case #19573 (closed) here too in order to let users know how Tail's app to unlock VeraCrypt volumes can modify container timestamps. This is privacy flow and not security flow and although this can't affect the data itself but this little info is enough to know the last access time and date of the whole container alone.
