"LUKS" stands for "linux unified key setup" and it is an "on-disk format" and its reference implementation is found in cryptsetup[1]
LUKS on-disk format is supported in windows through doxbox[2]
cryptsetup also supports TrueCrypt,the on-disk format.
people usually say "LUKS" when they mean cryptsetup as it makes no difference to them but i think its important to know the difference.
