IV is immune to variations in transfer size and does > not depend on file system block size. i saw that in the readme: "Password string has a minimum length of 20 characters." aren't 10 byte passwords enough? i dont like having to learn 20 byte passwords =( and which encryption type do you suggest? AES, AES128, AES192 or AES256? Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
