As far as I understand the crytpsetup sourcecode, the keyfile gets hashed, and is therefore comparable with a passphrase. 8192k for a keyfile seems massive overkill, assumed you have 256/512 bit encryption, where it will be sufficient to generate a keyfile which contains 32/64 random chars. > Does the above limit apply to users of the library too? AFAIK this is a limit which is set at compile time, see "configure --help". I assume it's not hardcoded. > why that number, why not a good,round number of 10MB?
