Hi!

=] I'm very interested in encryption using the loop device.
=] (In fact I just coded the brand new Twofish algorithm by
=] Bruce Schneier and others as module for the linux kernel.
=] It will be released tomorrow.)

Please look at my patch for 2.0.35/36pre12 for Blowfish encryption
to see how we can combine our work. If you don't have any Blowfish
encryption yet (which is thought to be very secure), you might
consider using the code in this patch. I didn't find the time
yet to support the 2.1.x kernels.

I also modilarized the encryption support for the 2.0.x-kernel.
Furthermore I added quite a lot of security to mount-2.8a.

It's here:

or here:

Bye,
Henrik
