However, the userpace key setup part of mount and losetup programs most likely are not compatible by default (didn't look at gentoo patch). loop-AES version 2 and 3 on-disk formats are not compatible with mainline. Securitywise, loop-AES-v1 / cryptoloop on-disk format is busted. Don't ever consider using those. > - is there any performance diffrences between loopaes and cryptoapi or are > the optimized pentium code even the same? Last time I checked, loop-AES was faster, but I haven't speed tested mainline crypto code for long time. -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 D - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
