Hi, i am Zaolin from the German hackerspace "Das Labor". The last month I concentrated on how to change the luks specification to be state of the art. Up to now we still use SHA-1 as default algorithm for PBKDF2 in luks. The next problem is the excessive use of parallel bruteforcing systems like ASIC, FPGA or GPUGPU technology. A new key derivation function is needed in order to raise the complexity of bruteforce attacks against the luks key derivation function. If someone sends me the *.tex file of the luks specification, i will update and post it for review. Regards Zaolin P.S. Sorry for my poor English. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
