Subject: [dm-crypt] HDD sector size interrelated with dm-crypt?

Hi there,
does dm-crypt depend in any way on the sector size of the block device to be encrypted?
So the real question is: Does dm-crypt work as expected on a 4KiB sector sized SATA drive when there is no translation to 512B sector size? Are there options that must be taken then?
I've read somewhere that the encryption algorithm work with 512B block sizes.
Could this be changed to 4KiB block sizes to gain speed with the upcoming devices?
Thanks
Lars
