Mr. Warner, et al.: I read that, and from what Jari makes it seem like the I-patch is garbage. Its not then, firstly I have a laptop, I do not have SMP! Secondly, the IV size issue can be subverted by using two loop devices (I know that), absent those two issues, it seems as if it works and is a very viable solution.

It was posted the other day by Herbert Valerio Riedel: known problems with the international crypto patch on 2.4.x: *) non-reentrant --> don't use it on SMP (unless you can enforce non-parallel execution of the transfer functions) if you want to do some work on it, please go ahead; I can tell you where you should begin to look at... *) transfer block size dependend IV size (there is a fix for this one in the cryptoapi re-package, see the included README file for more about it) --- This will be enough to help you find all the heated conversations using google/google groups/linux-crypto archive.
