I mean tools useful to recover a damaged system. I would invest more on speed (as I said in a previous post, I need crypto just to avoid random poking in my data if my laptop is stolen/forgotten) Thanks. xts needs parameters size 512 for the same security level than aes 256 or is it just a typo? --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
