    The live USB maker creates minimum 2 partitions:
    1. a FAT partition, where the efi and boot menus and options are.
    2. a (normally ext4) partition, which contains the antiX system. This is the partition that would get encrypted.
    3. a (optional) DATA partition, to use as a separate (no-encrypted) partition that can be used as USB storage.

    If you encrypted the whole drive you wouldn’t be able to access it at all (and not be able to boot to it on any system).

    If you click on the “Help” button you can read information about the program. For example:

    Encrypt allows the user to create a fully encrypted live-USB using LUKS encryption.

    So it is a LUKS encryption.
