My plan is to provide better support for low-level metadata parsers (like LUKS) for not only Linux but also other OS. This will take some time but I am definitely interested to provide some code for Android if possible. Please can you create issue (enhancement request) on project page so we will not forget about it? Thanks. http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/list > I thought a standalone implementation should exist somewhere, as it > seems unlikely the implementation was developed inside Android's VolD. Not sure about Android but there is already several other implementations of LUKS. No problem with it but I would prefer upstream cryptsetup can provide something usable.
