It provides the following features:

* Utilizes the man:crypto[9] framework and automatically uses cryptographic hardware when it is available.
* Supports multiple cryptographic algorithms such as AES, Blowfish, and 3DES.
* Supports multiple cryptographic algorithms such as AES-XTS, AES-CBC, and Camellia-CBCAES.

* Allows the root partition to be encrypted. The passphrase used to access the encrypted root partition will be requested during system boot.
* Allows the use of two independent keys.
* It is fast as it performs simple sector-to-sector encryption.

Larger sector sizes increase performance at the cost of higher storage overhead.
The recommended size is 4096 bytes.
