Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

dm-crypt
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Device-Mapper's "crypt" target provides transparent encryption of block devices
|
|
using the kernel crypto API.
|
|
|
|
Parameters: <cipher> <key> <iv_offset> <device path> <offset>
|
|
|
|
<cipher>
|
|
Encryption cipher and an optional IV generation mode.
|
|
(In format cipher-chainmode-ivopts:ivmode).
|
|
Examples:
|
|
des
|
|
aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
|
|
twofish-ecb
|
|
|
|
/proc/crypto contains supported crypto modes
|
|
|
|
<key>
|
|
Key used for encryption. It is encoded as a hexadecimal number.
|
|
You can only use key sizes that are valid for the selected cipher.
|
|
|
|
<iv_offset>
|
|
The IV offset is a sector count that is added to the sector number
|
|
before creating the IV.
|
|
|
|
<device path>
|
|
This is the device that is going to be used as backend and contains the
|
|
encrypted data. You can specify it as a path like /dev/xxx or a device
|
|
number <major>:<minor>.
|
|
|
|
<offset>
|
|
Starting sector within the device where the encrypted data begins.
|
|
|
|
Example scripts
|
|
===============
|
|
LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) is now the preferred way to set up disk
|
|
encryption with dm-crypt using the 'cryptsetup' utility, see
|
|
http://clemens.endorphin.org/cryptography
