Package: loop-aes-modules-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-mckinley (2.6.24+3.2c-6~etchnhalf.1)

loop-AES encryption modules for Linux 2.6.24 on Itanium II

This package provides the loop-AES encryption modules for the Linux kernel version 2.6.24 on Itanium II machines.

The loop-AES encryption modules provide support for symmetric-key encryption of block devices. They are typically used to encrypt disk partitions and swap space.

Supported ciphers are AES, Twofish and Blowfish in CBC mode with seeded MD5 IV. Compatibility options are provided to access encrypted devices using deprecated modes such as cryptoloop, kerneli and loop-AES v1/v2.

You will need to install the package loop-aes-utils to use the loop-AES encryption modules.
