"The" evils have much simpler ways to "crack" your security, a common way (rumors) is, that - "they" grab all your computer staff - see its encrypted - return the computer - ... with an keylogger, small on the mainboard/keyboard/usb-bus/... - then, come about 2 weeks/months later again and of course there always is this moment .. when somebody tells you "now its your choice, you may cooperate and get a small punishment, or you get all and more if we're able to read your disk other ways" -- Florian Reitmeir - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
