Hi, I have a Question: Why can't I read cryptoloop devices with loop-AES (and the other way round) I have loop-AES-1.5c with the appropriate util-linux and cryptoapi-2.4.18.1 with the appropriate util-linux both work perfectly. BUT: I can neither read cryptoloop devices with loop-AES nor loop-AES devices with cryptoapi. Both use AES256 encryption with the same plaintext password. If I am right, they use both the same plaintext to key funciton and both use 512 byte blocksize. Since they dont interoperate, I dont know which one to choose. I dont want to discover in one year, that the loop-X is no longer supported, but loop-Y cant read my drives. Another question: Can I decrypt loop-XY with any other AES implementation like this ? cat /dev/hdc99 | ase-generic -d > file is there another way to decrypt without the use of neither loop-AES/cryptoloop (only using the function to extract the key from the plaintext) Hannes -- -- Hannes R.
