About

Device-mapper is a new infrastructure in the Linux 2.6 kernel that provides a generic way to create virtual layers of block devices that can do different things on top of real block devices like striping, concatenation, mirroring, snapshotting, etc... The device-mapper is used by the LVM2 and EVMS 2.x tools.
dm-crypt is such a device-mapper target that provides transparent encryption of block devices using the new Linux 2.6 cryptoapi. The user can basically specify one of the symmetric ciphers, a key (of any allowed size), an iv generation mode and then the user can create a new block device in /dev. Writes to this device will be encrypted and reads decrypted. You can mount your filesystem on it as usual. But without the key you can't access your data.
It does basically the same as cryptoloop only that it's a much cleaner code and better suits the need of a block device and has a more flexible configuration interface. The on-disk format is also compatible. In the future you will be able to specify other iv generation modes for enhanced security (you'll have to reencrypt your filesystem though).

Download

There is support for dm-crypt in the latest official kernel 2.6.4 which you can find on kernel.org. Please use the mirrors for downloads.
There is a HIGHMEM cryptoapi bug in kernels before 2.6.4-rc2, please upgrade if you were using such a kernel.
The latest version of the native userspace setup tool is cryptsetup 0.1.
Clemens Fruhwirth is maintaining an enhanced version of cryptsetup with the LUKS extension that allows you to have an on-disk block of metadata which is superior to the current mechanism and was my long term plan anyway but I didn't find the time to implement that yet...

The exhibition "Eroticism according to Tinto Brass" by Gianfranco Salis highlights the importance of this era, spanning from The Key to Hotel Courbet , showcasing set images and photos of the film’s production. The film's aesthetic focuses on the artistic, rather than just the explicit, exploration of eroticism. 3. Finding Hotel Courbet on the Internet Archive

Here’s how you can locate such a review, and a sample summary of what a typical archived review of Hotel Courbet might contain (based on real historical guest feedback from early 2000s travel forums, which are often preserved on the Internet Archive):

The Internet Archive is a vast digital library that offers free access to millions of books, movies, software, music, and web pages. To research the "Hotel Courbet" film or the hotel, you can use the following strategies:

So, why do researchers specifically link with the Internet Archive ? The answer lies in the property's sudden disappearance.

The Hotel Courbet's preservation on the Internet Archive serves as a model for cultural heritage institutions and organizations. It demonstrates the importance of digital preservation in safeguarding our collective cultural memory.

The Hotel Courbet Internet Archive is more than just a digital exhibit; it's a testament to the power of art, architecture, and technology to transcend time and space. This online treasure trove offers:

In the case of Hotel Courbet, the Internet Archive has an impressive collection of materials that reveal the hotel's rich history. From vintage postcards and photographs to newspaper articles and hotel registers, the Internet Archive provides a unique glimpse into the hotel's past.

Migration from cryptoloop and compatibility

The on-disk layouts used by the current 2.6 cryptoloop are supported by dm-crypt.
Cryptoloop also uses cryptoapi so the name of the ciphers are the same. Cryptoloop also supports ECB and CBC mode. Use <cipher>-ecb and <cipher>-plain accordingly with dm-crypt. If you didn't explicitly specify either -ecb or -cbc before you don't need it now, the default plain IV generation will be used. There will be additional (incompatible, but more secure) possibilites in the future because the unhashed sector number as IV is too predictible.

You'll need to figure out how your passphrase was turned into a key to use for losetup. There are several patches floating around doing things differently. But usually cryptsetup will provide a working solution to recreate the same key from your passphrase.

If you want to migrate from 2.4 cryptoloop please take a look at Clemens Fruhwirth's Cryptoloop Migration Guide. He describes the differences between 2.4 and 2.6 cryptoapi (or basically the bugs in 2.4 cryptoapi...). If you need to cut the key size you can use the -s option instead of playing with dd.
(BTW: Clemens has a i586 optimized version of the aes and serpent cipher on his page, about twice as fast as the kernel implementation.)

Why

Why dm-crypt?
Originally it started as a fun project because I wanted to play with the new Linux 2.6 internals. I got a lot of great help from the device-mapper guys at Sistina (now Redhat). Thank you very much!
It turned out that this implementation worked great and is very clean compared to the hacked loop device. The device-mapper core provides much better facilities to stack block devices. dm-crypt uses mempools to assure we never run into out-of-memory deadlocks when allocating buffers.
Also the device-mapper configuration interface provides much more flexibility than the losetup ioctl. And you can create as many devices as you want with any names you want and combine them with other dm targets. Online device resizing is also possible, e.g. if you use dm-crypt on top of a logical volume. There might perhaps even be LVM or EVMS support for device encryption in the future.
