From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jari Ruusu Subject: Announce loop-AES-v2.1a file/swap crypto package Date: Sat, 08 May 2004 14:22:10 +0300 Sender: linux-kernel-announce-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <409CC2E2.EBABFE1F@users.sourceforge.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-crypto@nl.linux.org loop-AES changes since previous release: - Makefile updated to work with 2.6.6-rc3 kernel. - build-initrd.sh changed to consume 40 KB less kernel RAM when used with gpg encrypted key files. This change may break really old gpg versions that choke with read-only mounted keyrings. - Kernel patch versions now require removal of drivers/block/loop.c and include/linux/loop.h source files before patch can be applied. - Added back aes.c code that avoids byte swaps on big endian boxes. This change improves performance on all non-x86 computers. - Security fix: restrict length of passphrase to max 4094 bytes when it is read from file descriptor using "mount -p 0" option. - Added ioctl32 compatibility that is needed on 64bit boxes running 32bit losetup/mount programs (2.4 and 2.6 kernels). - Fixed build-initrd.sh incompatibility with distros that have system libraries in /lib64 instead of /lib bzip2 compressed tarball is here: http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES/loop-AES-v2.1a.tar.bz2 md5sum 4ce8f2e7a711edd37908149d536bf434 http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES/loop-AES-v2.1a.tar.bz2.sign Additional ciphers package changes since previous release: - Makefile updated to work with 2.6.6-rc3 kernel. bzip2 compressed tarball is here: http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/ciphers/ciphers-v2.0g.tar.bz2 md5sum 2619495cc7228579ac09a051384c4239 http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/ciphers/ciphers-v2.0g.tar.bz2.sign -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD
