http://clemens.endorphin.org/LinuxHDEncSettings Did you ever take a look at that page?! I did. I´d say the best are the photos. The rest isn ´t much of a help. Ever since I grabbed me SuSE Linux 8.2 and managed to compile some standard kernel according to the loop-aes.readme it´s proven to the world: You do no longer need to study "Computer Science & Economics" to encrypt 200GB serial ata drives with 128bit on AMD64 CPUs under linux. As there is no replacement for loop-aes to be found in the download section I´ll have to live with aes in its "weak" CBC implementation. Is there anyone out to think I´ll exchange AMD64-optimized, rock solid code & working software for dm-cryptoloop? In case there are more complaints concerning loop-aes everyone is free to launch either fixes or reveal urls with something better at hand. It should be: -easy to compile -rock solid in everyday usage -survive power losses & crashes (yes, I play UT2004 from encrypted root + swap) -compatible with the future -third-party stand-alone software (not a kernel patch) -optimized for AMD64 CPU -well documented -bootable from removeable media (usb-hdd/SD-Cards/etc.) -able to move partition table from encrypted drive to removable medium I´m looking forward to read about your solutions! -- 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS http://www.gmx.net/de/go/topmail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse für Mail, Message, More +++ - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
