Hi, i have been using loop-aes for quite a while now as I am understanding that it is more secure than cryptoloop. However, on the other hand, it requires patching many files and is thus sometimes inconvenient, especially for encrypted usb-sticks used on different computers. Now I read that there is a successor to cryptoloop, namely dm-crypt, using Linux 2.6's device mapper. If I understand correctly, dm-crypt will be compatible to cryptoloop in case of device backed crypto file systems. Now I wonder if the security enhancements of loop-aes will be ported to dm-crypt. What are the plans for the future? What are the differences between loop-aes and dm-crypt?
