Hello, I'm currently using a LUKS volume which contains an encrypted LVM with itself contains my root, home and swap partitions.
My processor is a core 2 duo 2.26ghz and I'm running x86_64. I'm using cbc-essiv:sha256 and AES with 128 bit key. I was wondering, is CBC mode the fastest? I have a fast processor and can't really complain about the read/write speed, but I was wondering if I could gain any speed from counter mode or other mode. I would also like to ask what are the real world speed gains when using AES-NI? Can anyone please point me to some benchmarks, if there are any? Thank for the help, Pedro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
