The recent version of Truecrypt now claims to implement LWR I think, mainly in response to well-aimed criticisms by people like Jari. What shoudl be of concern is that it took so long for Truecrypt to wake up to this issue in the first place.
I have no idea if that in fact resolves Truecrypt's brokeness - it would be interesting to know.
On linux it requires the device mapper stuff, hence a 2.6.something kernel that is capable of this. But it can only mount, not create, encrypted volumes under linux - that you have to under windoze - and this is a tremendous bore.

Hi all
It seems that this discussion kind of got stalled way back in early 2005.
Is a solution to be expected soon for this rather awkward situation.
I would by far prefer a 'non-broken' AES-LWR encryption without the hassle of
tinkering with kernel recompile. As I understand it, this is mainly a linux
kernel shortcoming.
