Cryptoloop: AES256

cdyson37 · #1 2nd December 2004, 08:35 PM

Hi, I've just converted to FC3 from Mandrake 10.1 (via SuSE 9.1, which didn't have evolution 2, so I dropped it), and I can't access my AES256 cryptoloop system anymore. It seems that the key-length simply isn't supported. Creating ordinary AES loops works fine, but I can't use any non-default key-length.

Any ideas?

TIA.

I'm having the same problems. It just won't access my partition encrypted as aes-cbc-256.

One thing is that if you are using hashalot and have recently upgraded to a new version, you may have to pass in the option -n32 to make the output match the old version. In any case, this doesn't solve the problem.

Also, notice that fedora uses the aes_i586 module as opposed to the regular aes. I don't know if that makes a difference. Perhaps the block size is different? I don't know, but let me know if you find anything.

This happens EVERY TIME I upgrade my LInux.
