There is a mailing list called linux-crypto which is mostly related to loop- AES (was the best solution before dm-crypt...) ... It's a kernel driver for encrypting loopback devices which is typically used for encrypting disks. I can remember reading the phrase "IV" very often there, but I don't promise that this is right. I suggest you send a mail to Jari Ruusu <jariruusu at users.sourceforge.net> He is the author of loop-AES and can explain you the different options. He seems to be competent in explaining even the most unlikely theoretical attacks - AFAIRC he criticized dm-crypt for some issues related to IVs ... You could also write to the linux-crypto mailing list, Jari is usually there http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-crypto -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
