Speaking of which, is anybody aware of the principles behind LUKS; does 
it use any standard, peer-reviewed techniques, or its own "works for me" 
code to do its encryption? I find it convenient to use, but have no idea 
how secure (or otherwise) it might be.

Not that I have anything in particular to hide from Her Majesty's finest 
specifically, but just wondered how effective an encryption method it is.
