Specification  
LUKS on-disk-format specification

LUKS on-disk-format

The LUKS on-disk-specification is available here:

LUKS-on-disk-format.pdf

It standardizes the on-disk format of a LUKS partition, as well as the semantic use of all LUKS specific objects.

Reference implementation

cryptsetup-luks is the reference implementation for the specification. Your implementation should be able to detect and open a cryptsetup-luks generated partition, if the underlaying cipher system supports the hashes and ciphers given in the partition header.

Section 2.4.1 (definition of H_1) says |P| denotes the block size of the hash function. What is really meant is that |P| denotes the digest size of the hash function. The block size of SHA1 is 3.2 times its digest size.
