What are the best ways to get info on the encryption methods used on my laptop?
I have a laptop running ubuntu 10.10. In Gparted I see numerous partitions. This was installed 'I believe' using the 'encrypt home folder' option using the install disk. I am trying to determine 'as a matter of fact' since I did not do the install, which partitions are in fact encrypted, and confirm for certain whether the encryption was done using the install disk as I mentioned above. How can I determine what encryption is on what partitions? Is it disk-level or some other. Was another encryption program used besides the ubuntu installer? What method can I use which will tell me the most about the encryption method used on my computer? Thank you?
