LUKS is available on some Live CDs (and not others).
Some things to think about are:
If you boot from a CD, where are you storing your files?
You'll need to set up your encrypted volume manually. Doing this right is tricky.

Hi,
I want to get away from all these price discussions and try to understand whether someone has a good answer to this:
is there some kind of good encryption (file or volume) that is usually supported out of the box on linux/unix LiveCD's? Maybe some command line tool usually available?
I would love to use bitcoin from a random LiveCD (fear of keyloggers) and know I could decrypt my wallet (delivered via USB stick or downloaded from a server) without the need to burn my own customised LiveCD.
Truecrypt is not an option for instance, as most LiveCD's don't ship with it preinstalled.
Booting from USB is not an option as I want a relatively tamperproof CD.
(And, the less bloated the linux distro, the better)
I hope you can help me, in fact I am sure there are plenty of linux/unix experts on this forum!!
