I have been experimenting/testing with different encryption schemes using Cryptsetup. I mostly focused on increasing iterations and using different hash algorithms. I noticed a decrease in the time needed for unlocking the volume when using Sha512 and serpent. During volume creation I set the iteration value to 12000, however the unlock of the volume only took 8 seconds. This does not occur with sha1 and AES which takes the full 12 seconds to unlock the volume. The iteration count is about 850.000 for Sha512 and about 2.000.000 for Sha1. I used an AMD fx-8150 with eight cores. Does anyone one know why there is a discrepancy between the time needed for the volume creation and volume decryption? ____________________________________________________________ South Africas premier free email service - www.webmail.co.za The Simplest Way To Owning Your Own Business http://iib468.ubuntuconnect.com _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
