I have some archived mail messages from Jari explaining the details of the encryption 
pretty exhaustively if that helps.

While we are at it - are you aware of any documentation of the "mainline" dm-crypt
implementation? I have not seen anything, much less any explanation if it has improved 
any since the ancient watermarking attack.

http://luks.endorphin.org/ is down, http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ has plenty of
information but I am not sure if it is up to date.. well if it is than it seems default
dm-crypt still has more or less snake oil quality encryption.
