Feature Request: mount, read/write and create LUKS containers

[LordCorvin]

One big feature in my opinion that will be great, is the ability to read and write to LUKS container. As I understand the Android kernel has the necessary encryption algorithms to do that.
Probably a big undertaking, so if you ever have time it would be great if you add it. Probably best if it's an add-on for rooted devices(Don't think it'll work on non-rooted ones)

Unfortunately there are a lot of different encrypted container standards, see e.g. this page:

I was thinking of using cryptsetup which is open source and has all the support for different container standards.

People in the past had compiled a binary for Android 5.0 and used command line to execute it.
There's a lot of abandoned projects that had it working but is left unmaintained for years, like guardian project
https://github.com/guardianproject/luks/wiki
But I'm not an Android programmer so maybe it's really difficult to make sure it works properly and that's why it got abandoned in first place
