| loop-aes-source | loop-AES encryption Linux kernel modules (source) | Mehr ... |
This package contains source code of the loop-AES loadable kernel
modules for Linux 2.0 - 2.6. It can be used with module-assistant,
make-kpkg or stand-alone to build loop-AES module packages.
.
loop-AES can be used to encrypt disk partitions, removable media,
swap space and other devices. It provides measures to strengthen
the encryption: Passphrase seeds, multiple hash iterations, MD5 IV
and use of alternating encryption keys.
.
Encryption keys can be stored in a GnuPG-encrypted keyfile, which
allows the passphrase to be changed without re-encryption. Keyfiles
can also be encrypted asymmetrically for multi-user access.
.
This package includes the cipher modules blowfish, twofish and
serpent in addition to the default cipher (AES).
.
Modules compiled from this package require mount utils with
support for loop-AES to work correctly. Such utils are provided
in the package 'loop-aes-utils'. |
