Hello list (cc: Herbert, Christoph), In my previous mail you will find a proposed patch to implement XTS (a block cipher mode alike LRW, but unlike LRW, no known security problems (LRW has problems encrypting it's own key)). An email from Cristoph sparked my interest, and the lrw.c file was a good starting point. You will find that xts.c includes less weird functions than lrw.c. xts.c is compilation tested as a module outside the kernel, it 'hould work(tm). Herbert: I need to instances of AES, did I do that correctly? Greetings, Rik. -- Nothing is ever a total loss; it can always serve as a bad example. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
