I don't completely trust crypto hardware. My one critical standard for any cryptographic app is that it be open source so that I or my distro maintainers can compile a copy and be confident that it has no back doors. Sure, all the plans/design documents for a piece of crypto hardware could be released, but I'd always have doubt as to if that tiny chip actually matched the plans and hadn't had a little bit of extra silicon dedicated to logging the last eight thousand AES keys used. I'm all for dual/quad core cpu's instead :). Having an idle core to deal with encrypted disk IO is handy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- dm-crypt mailing list - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
