comment Which hard disk encryptions schemes are tied to the original hardware?
If so, most of open-source tools would do the job as you mean, by default. Linking HW to something like salt is possible, but is not usual (it's a not so good idea). Well, @Polynomial answer, like mine, are quite right.

comment Which hard disk encryptions schemes are tied to the original hardware?
Right, however, there was some (older) version of cryptmount who build key from a derivation of passphrase (hash), so passphrase could not be changed. Newer version use a self generated key, protected by the passphrase. But there is no link to hardware ID (not now and not prior)...( Unless you modify mount script ;-)

I'm not sure, but as CAINE is based on Ubuntu, based on Debian, my remark concerning automatic use of swap partition may be right too!?
