Thanks for your answer Chris.
```
blackbird:~ # cryptsetup benchmark -c aes-xts-plain64 --key-size 512
# Tests approximatifs en utilisant uniquement la mémoire (pas de stockage E/S).
# Algorithme | Clé | Chiffrement |Déchiffrement
aes-xts512b84,3 MiB/s83,5
The irony is that XTS uses two different keys for different parts of the
operation. This means that AES-XTS-256 is AES128 and AES-XTS-512 is
AES256 (security is not increased by the second key).
So, you compared AES with 128 bit encryption with XChaCha with 256 bit.
And despite the doubled key
I was curious to see if changes were significant on my old Asus laptop:
```
blackbird:~ # cryptsetup benchmark -c xchacha20,aes-adiantum
# Tests approximatifs en utilisant uniquement la mémoire (pas de stockage E/S).
#Algorithme | Clé | Chiffrement |Déchif
Good everning,
I just experienced that, when setting up a new Fedora, Anaconda (both
"Custom" and "Advanced Custom (Blivet-GUI)") always uses aes-xts-plain64
for disk encryption, even if the hardware does not support AES-NI.
Does it make sense to use xchacha12,aes-adiantum-plain64 by default
