so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to
make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first
method is far more difficult.  --Tony Hoare

section 5.16 has out dated information.

It says a user has to manually specify "aes-xts-plain64" when creating LUKS
