See: http://mareichelt.de/pub/texts.cryptoloop.php and from google: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107719798631935&w=2 http://www.governmentsecurity.org/archive/t14922.html So use loop-aes. I'm waiting for the day when the kernel developers drop cryptoloop and put in loop-aes, but I'm not holding my breath.
