Create an encrypted file vault on Linux

Use Linux Unified Key Setup to create an encrypted vault for sensitive files on a physical drive or cloud storage.
![Secure safe][1]
Recently, I demonstrated how to [implement full-drive encryption][2] on Linux with LUKS and the `cryptsetup` command. While encrypting a whole drive is useful in many cases, there are reasons you might not want to encode an entire drive. For instance, you might require a drive to work across several platforms, some of which may not have Linux Unified Key Setup ([LUKS][3]) integration. Furthermore, it's the 21st century, the cloud exists, and you may not be using a physical drive for all your data.
