I have read some docs about dm-crypt and the crypto-api. It seems that the crypto stuff is added to the kernel since 2.6.4. A possibility thus would be to use an older kernel that does not contain the crypto stuff. Will a 2.4 kernel do, or does that also contain crypto algo's? As I recall, the De

Remove encryption from kernel?

2006-05-23 Thread The Hog
Hi, I have ben told that the Linux kernel contains cryptographic code in many places. U.S. export restrictions forbid to export software that contains cryptographic code to certain countries, such as Iran. This also applies to the Linux kernel. Would it be possible to build a kernel that does not
