CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) — Question 233

Which of the following specifications is used to perform disk encryption in a Linux system?

Answer options

• A. LUKS
• B. TLS
• C. SSL
• D. NFS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) is the standard for disk encryption in Linux systems, providing a secure method for encrypting partitions. TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) are protocols for securing communications over a network, not for disk encryption. NFS (Network File System) is a protocol for file sharing, which also does not pertain to disk encryption.
