Hi, Im looking for someone to "proofread" and sponsor loop-aes-source (ITP #111167). Its a kernel module for encrypted loop devices.
* Package name : loop-aes-source Version : 1.7e Upstream Author : Jari Ruusu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net * License : GPL Description : AES-encryption loopback Linux kernel module This package contains the source code to the loop-aes loadable kernel module for Linux. It has the AES (Rijndael) cipher built-in and can be used to encrypt local file systems and disk partitions. . Applications of this module include encrypted root filesystems, CD-ROM images and home directories. Secrets can be stored in a GnuPG-encrypted keyfile. Instructions for setting up encrypted swap space are also included. . Additional ciphers (Blowfish, Twofish and Serpent) can be used if the loop-aes-ciphers-source package is installed and has been set up by the user. Using these ciphers, loop-aes can access encryped volumes that were created by a cryptoapi (kerneli.org) module. Now, there is still one particular rough edge to this package. As described in README.Debian, util-linux in Debian has an incompatible crypto patch applied (bug #164144) so that some util-linux tools need to be patched and built manually before loop-aes can be used. Im working with the util-linux maintainer and the upstream author to find a better solution. The packages loop-aes-source and loop-aes-ciphers-source [0] are available from here: deb http://hinterhof.net/~max/debian ./ deb-src http://hinterhof.net/~max/debian ./ Cheers Max [0] and binary module packages for the current i386 2.4.22-1 kernels in sid. There is a full list of packages on my website. -- Max Vozeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://hinterhof.net/~max GnuPG B7CDA2DC : 308E 81E7 B979 63BC A0E6 ED88 9D5B D511 B7CD A2DC
