could you explain us how this is used by AES and also put that into the
readme when
you release the next version of loop-aes? how much does a password seed
increase

and, would it be a good idea to use for example 128 bytes of urandom data
(and i wouldnt save it to disk of course) as the seed when encrypting swap?
