aims to tell you precisely which software works on which version of your operating system.

* [[http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/aespipe/ aespipe]], program to encrypt a file stream with the [[Advanced Encryption Standard|AES]] algorithm with key lengths 128, 192 and 256 bit

* [[Loop device|losetup]] and [[cryptoloop]], part of [[Linux kernel|2.6.x kernel]] and [[util-linux]]

* [[aespipe]], program to encrypt a file stream with the [[Advanced Encryption Standard|AES]] algorithm with key lengths 128, 192 and 256 bit

* [http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ dm-crypt], included in the mainline kernel

** [http://luks.endorphin.org/ LUKS] (Linux Unified Key Setup) aims to improve dm-crypt key management.

** [http://cryptmount.sourceforge.net cryptmount] allows mounting dm-crypt volumes without superuser privileges.

* Cryptoloop, a [[CryptoloopLoop device|loop back]] encryption method, is included in the mainline kernel but is insecure and has been deprecated in favor of dm-crypt.

* [http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/ loop-AES] supports kernel 2.0.x onward but requires a patch.

* [http://cryptmount.sourceforge.net/ Crypt Mount]
