Oh, they have a Linux versios, too, did not know that. Then it makes sense to audit this software.

Does anybody have any real life experiences and performance benchmarks for VeraCrypt on Linux?

Also a feature and performance comparison to LUKS would be very interesting!

Linux Magazin authors, please consider... Thanks!

VeraCrypt on linux uses the linux kernel infrastructure for user data encryption/decryption and hence its performance will be on par with LUKS because it uses the same infrastructure also.

Performance of a VeraCrypt volume will degrade only if you use multiple ciphers.
