I am wondering which mode of operation I should use with LUKS. I plan on either cbc-essiv or xts-benbi. The reason i ask as that the XTS kernel module is still flagged as excremental. If it was not I would simply use XTS-benbi. Note that TrueCrypt uses the XTS module, and the developers of it have probably looked at XTS.c (hopefully). Can anyone shed some light on this subject? - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
