    In the contemporary digital age, the security and confidentiality of data have become paramount. As threats evolve, so too must our defenses. One robust method of protecting data is through disk encryption, which ensures that data on a drive is unreadable without the appropriate key or password. This article will delve into disk encryption techniques for two popular Linux distributions: Ubuntu (based on Debian) and AlmaLinux (a fork of CentOS, derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux). Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux distributions, uses LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) for disk encryption. LUKS is a standard for Linux hard disk encryption that provides a uniform method of managing encrypted disks.
