are the working implementations / patches for loop-aes/cryptoloop around?

if i understand what you ask, as far as i know, nobody implemented the fix for this attack. Jari Ruusu said it was still vulnerable so i guess there is no patch.


if you care about this attack, a little google search pointed me to another way to automatically secure file, encfs, which seems to protect against this attack. it provides "per-data block MAC authentication headers : authenticate every byte of data in a file." which is the fixed i proposed when i published the paper.

it is pretty easy to code and may be done in a compatible way. moreover i think it could be a nice project.
