different default key sizes for CREATE and LUKSFORMAT

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!
In the man page for cryptsetup is written regarding the option --key-size :

"Can be used for create or luksFormat,  all
other  LUKS  actions  will  ignore this flag, as the key-size is
specified by the partition header. Default is 128 for luksFormat
and 256 for create."

I am wondering what is the reason for two different default key sizes?

Thanks
Stefan
