Configure encrypted volumes
For confidentiality of your data you can encrypt the data on some partitions. This feature can be added underneath any filesystem, because linux (dm-crypt driver) uses the Device Mapper to create a virtual partition (with protected content) based on an underlying partition that will store the data in an encrypted form. For more on that see LUKS, the Linux Unified Key Setup, a standard format enabling storage of encrypted data and meta-data on the encryption algorithms used.
