Live USB ubuntu on a 2 partitions

Question

Can I burn ubuntu distro iso as a live USB to 2 partitions USB. Because I need encrypted live USB using LUKS.

After searching i found the grub can decrypt encrypted partition by LUKS

first partition for /boot
secound partition for filesystem like /root /home /casper

Then you cannot use a Live image. You must install Ubuntu onto a USB stick in order to use encryption. — user535733, Aug 06 '19 at 15:55
You only encrypt files you need to encrypt, eg if someone should steal your drive which has sensitive data on it which could compromise you personally or make you poorer financially. There is absolutely no point in encrypting a live Ubuntu USB. — Paul Benson, Aug 06 '19 at 17:03

Because LUKS will not work with a LiveUSB, you must install Ubuntu from a LiveUSB (or other media) to a second LiveUSB. Boot from the first USB, the LiveUSB, then with the second USB plugged in, start installing Ubuntu. When it asks where to install it, specify the second USB drive.
