It is used in a similar way to the loop device and offers simplicity and speed plus full strength encryption (128 bit). The design takes into consideration the fact that data on disc has a long lifetime and that an attacker may have the matching plaintext to much of the cyphertext. A combination of master/working pass phrases offers enhanced security for backup copies. Current status is BETA and comments on the implemenation and underlying crypography are most welcome. It consists of a kernel patch plus support programs and is intended for users with enough knowledge to compile the kernel, setup lilo, partition disks etc. It is not for absolute beginners or "non technical" users just yet.
