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 <jari.ruusu@pp.inet.fi>
* 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
