Well, ok. The URL is about loop-aes <-> vs. mainline kernel comcept. What about ppdd vs loop-aes? Correct me, if wrong, but multiple keys are not necessary in non-blockwise modes? If you think of bigger tar archives (1,5 GB - 4GB), are multiple-keys encryption also necessary there? Furthermore: If you have n keys. Is there an max amount ma(n) of data, which can be considered to be save? (What is ma(n))? Well, furthermore, too, what exactly is the relationship between loop-aes and aespipe? Can I safely encrypt / decrypt everthing with aespipe in userland I want to use / used with aes-loop or are there any restrictions?
