Obviously ECB is more random-access friendly. How long are the CBC chains used by loopback encryption? Does one chain span the whole device? Are they limited in length to make random access and updates easier? Or is there a third approach which I'm not clued into? thanks, miket Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
