This can be useful when you travel a lot and need a quick way to ensure your data
cannot be recovered. When booting, just type the nuke password instead of the real
one and it will then be impossible for anyone (including you) to access your data.
Before using that feature, it is thus wise to make a backup copy of your encryption
keys and keep them at some secure place.
You can configure a nuke password with this command (assuming that you have the
package installed):
#
dpkg-reconfigure cryptsetup-nuke-password
