Loop-AES and kerneli.org-cryptoapi use same on-disk format, but userspace tools need different options. To mount AES encrypted volumes created with kerneli.org-cryptoapi in loop-AES, use mount option -o phash=rmd160 or losetup option -H rmd160, and specify cipher name as AES128, AES192 or AES256. Mandrake kernel AES on-disk format and userspace command options are 100% compatible with loop-AES. SuSE kernel twofish uses different on-disk format. Twofish loop cipher module in loop-AES' ciphers add-on package is compatible with SuSE kernel twofish if appropriate options are given to mount or losetup. Kernel 2.5/2.6 on-disk formats are same as before. Regards, Jari Ruusu <jari.ruusu@pp.inet.fi> - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
