[PATCH] Update the default LUKS cipher mode to XTS for new devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I propose that we start creating new LUKS devices using the newer XTS
cipher mode with the maximum key size of 512 bits. Unless there is some
performance reason that I am not aware of, I think we should default to
the highest security level possible. My understanding is that cryptsetup
defaults to CBC for reasons involving backwards compatibility.

Comments?
