Hi Melkor Lord, Freeotfe only seems to support single-key mode. I don't have any problems with it. (perhaps there are the usual problems with wrong keymaps, short passphrases,...) example: PASSPHRASE="LevwQM0dBmfltvfzk6chjKTrMICZUgpM+vtD82rZtZMfgaWxGvO+4NXmJ1KKRHTf" echo "$PASSPHRASE" | losetup -e AES128 -p 0 /dev/loopX /dev/sdX freeotfe settings: key:LevwQM0dBmfltvfzk6chjKTrMICZUgpM+vtD82rZtZMfgaWxGvO+4NXmJ1KKRHTf hash: sha256 (or sha384 for aes192, sha512 for aes256) sector IV: 32bit sector id Cipher: aes-cbc single key mode of loop-AES is also compatible with aes-cbc-plain of dmcrypt. you can access /dev/sdX in this way: echo "$PASSPHRASE" | cryptsetup create -c aes-cbc-plain -h sha256 \ -s 128 mydevice /dev/sdX dmcrypt is a little bit faster than loop-AES (at least at my system,...) (Of course, the '-C' switch won't work here) However, using single-key mode is not recommended.
