# Cryptsetup can transparently forward discard operations to an SSD. This feature is activated by using the --allow-discards option in combination with cryptsetup open. Enabling discards on an encrypted SSD can be a measure to ensure effective wear leveling and longevity, especially if the full disk is encrypted. For an in detail discussion about the security implications, have a look at the cryptsetup FAQ and the man page of cryptsetup.
# Can make filesystem-level operations visible on the physical device. For example, information leaking filesystem type, used space, etc. may be extractable from the physical device.
