Volume Encryption in Synology DSM 7.2: LUKS with Questionable Key Management

Synology DSM 7.2 introduced a highly anticipated feature: volume-level encryption. This data protection mechanism works faster and has less limitations than shared folder encryption, which was the only encryption option supported in prior DSM releases. However, upon investigation, we determined that the implementation of the encryption key management mechanism for full-volume encryption fails to meet the expected standards of security for encrypted data for many users.

In this article, we will explore the current implementation of encrypted volumes in DSM 7.2 and shed light on the challenges posed by the existing key vault design.
