Mr. Ruusu: Well, while I am very happy with AES-256 as my encryption algorithm, it is nice to the encompassment of great choice within the loop-aes software package. Good work and thank you again for all your expertise!

So many people have asked about more ciphers for loop-AES that next release may have additional extra-ciphers package with at least serpent, blowfish and twofish ciphers. I copied and audited serpent and blowfish from cryptoapi, and took twofish from SuSE kernel sources. Just for the record, blowfish implementation in cryptoapi on little endian boxes is not straight blowfish, but some mutated-byteorder-variation. Cryptoapi blowfish on big endian boxes implements blowfish correctly.
