DM-Integrity is a Linux kernel device-mapper target that provides block-level data integrity checking. To detect unauthorized changes or corruption on a block device. Unlike encryption, dm-integrity ensures data hasnt been tampered with. When paired with LUKS, which uses dm-crypt for encryption, it can enhance security by adding authenticated encryption combining confidentiality and integrity.
