Though this is in fact the original linux-crypto list, it is primarily concerned with loop-aes. Some bright spark thought it a really good idea to start another list with exactly the same name, which is intended for mainline kernel crypto afaik: http://markmail.org/browse/org.kernel.vger.linux-crypto/2009-01 - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
