For the record (the bug has already been closed): - GostCrypt is not part of Debian - EncFS doesn’t support AES-NI so this is expected (and I’m not sure about how secure it is, either) You need to use dm-crypt or ecryptfs, that make use of the kernel’s encryption library, if you want both acceptable security and performance. -- .''`.
