request for new API to found out is a volume is a luks volume or a tcrypt volume

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

 




finding out if a device is luks device is a bit clunky at the moment because a user will have to go through the crypt_init(),crypt_load() and finally crypt_free() to see if a device is luks device.

Just added support for opening truecrypt volumes and the way to check if a volume is a true crypt volume seem to be clunkier since it involves doing crypt_init(),crypt_load(),crypt_activate_by_volume_key() and if on success, crypt_deavicate() and then finally crypt_free()

It will be nice if these operations were simplified with something like:

crypt_is_luks( const char* device )

and

crypt_is_tcrypt( const char* device,const char* key,size_t key_len )
