+### Does Qubes use full disk encryption (FDE)?
+
+Yes, of course! Full disk encryption is enabled by default. Specifically, we use [`LUKS`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Unified_Key_Setup)/[`dm-crypt`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-crypt). You can even [manually configure your encryption parameters](/doc/encryption-config/), if you like!
