 desc: loop-AES encryption
+longdesc:
+ The loop-AES encryption modules provide support for symmetric-key encryption of
+ block devices. They are typically used to encrypt disk partitions and swap
+ space.
+ .
+ Supported ciphers are AES, Twofish and Blowfish in CBC mode with seeded MD5 IV.
+ Compatibility options are provided to access encrypted devices using deprecated
+ modes such as cryptoloop, kerneli and loop-AES v1/v2.
+ .
+ You will need to install the package loop-aes-utils to use the loop-AES
+ encryption modules.
