Hi everyone,
I have encrypted an external hard disk in FAT32 with LUKS but I don't find how to open it in windows ?
Is it better to encrypt with LUKS or truecrypt ?

Thank you

Try FreeOTFE for Windows. Never used it, so I cannot comment on how well it works. But, the web page says:

Support for encrypted Linux volumes (Cryptoloop "losetup", dm-crypt and LUKS)

It works ! Actually it was the software recommended here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUKS I did not take the time to check it out first... Thank you !

I read on the internet that the encryption method used by LUKS and Truecrypt is the same (AES 256 as default on LUKS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard NSA approved !), it just that LUKS is under GPL licence, not Truecrypt, and LUKS is used by all linux distributions, not Truecrypt.
