BitLocker

!!! recomendación

![BitLocker logo](assets/img/encryption-software/bitlocker.png){ align=right }

**BitLocker** es la solución de cifrado de volumen completo incluida con Microsoft Windows. La razón principal por la que lo recomendamos, es por su [uso de TPM](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/tpm/how-windows-uses-the-tpm). [ElcomSoft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElcomSoft), una empresa forense, ha escrito sobre ello en [Understanding BitLocker TPM Protection](https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2021/01/understanding-BitLocker-tpm-protection/).

[:octicons-info-16:](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/BitLocker/BitLocker-overview){ .card-link title=Documentación}

BitLocker es únicamente compatible en las versiones Pro, Enterprise y Education de Windows. Se puede habilitar en las ediciones Home siempre que cumplan con los requisitos previos.

??? ejemplo "Habilitación de BitLocker en Windows Home"

Para habilitar BitLocker en las ediciones "Home" de Windows, debe tener particiones formateadas con una [tabla de partición GUID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table) y tener un módulo TPM (v1.2, 2.0+) dedicado.

1. Abra un símbolo del sistema y verifique el formato de la tabla de particiones de su unidad con el siguiente comando. Debería ver "**GPT**" listado bajo "Partition Style":

    ```
    powershell Get-Disk
    ```

2. Ejecute este comando (en un símbolo del sistema con derechos de administración) para verificar su versión de TPM. Debería ver `2.0` o `1.2` junto a `SpecVersion`:

    ```
    powershell Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root/cimv2/security/microsofttpm" -Class WIN32_tpm
    ```

3. Acceda a [Opciones avanzadas de inicio](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode-b90e7808-80b5-a291-d4b8-1a1af602b617). Debe reiniciar mientras pulsa la tecla F8 antes de que se inicie Windows y entrar en el símbolo del sistema ** en **Solucionar problemas** → **Opciones avanzadas** → **Símbolo del sistema**.

4. Inicie sesión con su cuenta de administrador y escriba esto en el símbolo del sistema para iniciar el cifrado:

    ```
    manage-bde -on c: -used
    ```

5. Cierre el símbolo del sistema y continúe con el arranque normal de Windows.

6. Open an admin command prompt and run the following commands:

    ```
    manage-bde c: -protectors -add -rp -tpm
    manage-bde -protectors -enable c:
    manage-bde -protectors -get c: > %UserProfile%\Desktop\BitLocker-Recovery-Key.txt
    ```

    !!! tip

    Backup `BitLocker-Recovery-Key.txt` on your Desktop to a separate storage device. La pérdida de este código de recuperación puede resultar en la pérdida de datos.

FileVault

!!! recomendación

![FileVault logo](assets/img/encryption-software/filevault.png){ align=right }

**FileVault** is the on-the-fly volume encryption solution built into macOS. FileVault is recommended because it [leverages](https://support.apple.com/guide/security/volume-encryption-with-filevault-sec4c6dc1b6e/web) hardware security capabilities present on an Apple silicon SoC or T2 Security Chip.

[:octicons-info-16:](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/encrypt-mac-data-with-filevault-mh11785/mac){ .card-link title=Documentation}

We recommend storing a local recovery key in a secure place as opposed to using your iCloud account for recovery.

Linux Unified Key Setup

!!! recomendación

![LUKS logo](assets/img/encryption-software/luks.png){ align=right }

**LUKS** is the default FDE method for Linux. It can be used to encrypt full volumes, partitions, or create encrypted containers.

[:octicons-home-16: Homepage](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/blob/main/README.md){ .md-button .md-button--primary }
[:octicons-info-16:](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/wikis/home){ .card-link title=Documentation}
[:octicons-code-16:](https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/){ .card-link title="Source Code" }

??? example "Creating and opening encrypted containers"

```
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/path-to-file bs=1M count=1024 status=progress
sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /path-to-file
```


#### Opening encrypted containers
We recommend opening containers and volumes with `udisksctl` as this uses [Polkit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polkit). Most file managers, such as those included with popular desktop environments, can unlock encrypted files. Tools like [udiskie](https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie) can run in the system tray and provide a helpful user interface.
```
udisksctl loop-setup -f /path-to-file
udisksctl unlock -b /dev/loop0
```

!!! note "Remember to back up volume headers"

We recommend you always [back up your LUKS headers](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption#Backup_and_restore) in case of partial drive failure. Esto se puede hacer con:

```
cryptsetup luksHeaderBackup /dev/device --header-backup-file /mnt/backup/file.img
```

Browser-based

Browser-based encryption can be useful when you need to encrypt a file but cannot install software or apps on your device.

hat.sh

OpenPGP

OpenPGP is sometimes needed for specific tasks such as digitally signing and encrypting email. PGP has many features and is complex as it has been around a long time. For tasks such as signing or encrypting files, we suggest the above options.

When encrypting with PGP, you have the option to configure different options in your gpg.conf file. We recommend staying with the standard options specified in the GnuPG user FAQ.

!!! tip "Use future defaults when generating a key"

When [generating keys](https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/c14.html) we suggest using the `future-default` command as this will instruct GnuPG use modern cryptography such as [Curve25519](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519#History) and [Ed25519](https://ed25519.cr.yp.to/):

```bash
gpg --quick-gen-key alice@example.com future-default
```

GNU Privacy Guard

!!! recomendación

![GNU Privacy Guard logo](assets/img/encryption-software/gnupg.svg){ align=right }

**GnuPG** is a GPL-licensed alternative to the PGP suite of cryptographic software. GnuPG is compliant with [RFC 4880](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880), which is the current IETF specification of OpenPGP. The GnuPG project has been working on an [updated draft](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh/) in an attempt to modernize OpenPGP. GnuPG is a part of the Free Software Foundation's GNU software project and has received major [funding](https://gnupg.org/blog/20220102-a-new-future-for-gnupg.html) from the German government.
