Yes, 10 is currently hardcoded: // Numbers of iterations for the master key digest #define LUKS_MKD_ITER 10 If you need Clemens' formal LUKS specification it is here http://cryptsetup.googlecode.com/svn-history/r42/wiki/LUKS-standard/on-disk-format.pdf Please cc me if you receive analysis in reply, thanks. (And btw independent code review to find possible implementation mistakes is always welcomed too, mainly now after reimplementation PBKDF2 and AF to use gcrypt and allowing other hash algorithms:-) Milan -- mbroz@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
