It > means without any extra (AES loop.ko) module or patch? The patch just enhances the way keys are computed in userspace but otherwise uses the same kernel interfaces that are used just now. I haven't used a vanilla kernel for quite some time but cryptoloop, aes, twofish etc are present there so I'd assume that it works with upstream kernels. What I've called "loop-AES style" just means that one can specify algorithm and key length in one parameter (-e twofish256) instead of two (-e twofish -k 256). cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux-ng" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
