Hello, I am very new to this crypto-things, so excuse dump questions ;) 1) When I setup an encrypted image/partition, the data is encrypted by a random byte-string of "-s"-bits lenght. This one is saved encrypted for every key-slot. How does luks verify, which slot is the correct one? 2) When I do a luksDump on any testing-container I made so far, I noticed one line: > Hash spec: sha1 What is this hash used for? And how can I change it, as sha1 is... not as secure as eg. sha512. 3) I read something about lrw. Its the only secure mode in-kernel. But everywhere I read about "aes-lrw-benbi" with 256 bit (max for aes) + 128 bit (for lrw). Is it only for aes or may it be used with blowfish or serpent as well? Thanks so far!
