Re: Required kernel crypto interface not available

Thanks for the kind and informed reply.

My kernel is 3.12.14-4. I am no developer nor kernel configurator. Just a user. It seems this means I cannot use this for the foreseeable future.

Do you know any other script to mount a crypted container (contained in a file) that may work for a simple user like me.

Well if it does not exist I'll go on using trucrypt.

Best and thanks

Fran

See cryptsetup man page

 TCRYPT  extension requires kernel userspace crypto API to be available (introduced in Linux kernel 2.6.38).  If you are configur‐

 (CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER .config option).
