you may want to consider loop-aes instead. [0] i'll try to avoid a flame war here, but dm-crypt/luks has some deficiencies [1] which may or may not be of concern. if you do use dm-crypt/luks, make sure you have a recent version. (pref. 2.6.20+). truecrypt is free and open, and pretty decent, particularly if you want win32 support. best regards, 0. key management is usually more difficult for loop-aes and the keys (multi-v3) are also larger. that said, the key schedule and key scrubbing in loop-aes are preferable to the others IMHO. 1. cryptoloop, dm-crypt, bestcrypt, truecrypt, and loop-aes - Why cryptoloop should not be used. http://mareichelt.de/pub/texts.cryptoloop.php
