Hi
Please have a look at http://www.in.tum.de/~rohloff
I put two implementations of twofish on the site and also a modified loop.c (which uses requested sector number as IV and fixes another problem with xfer->lock and unlock.)
The first implementation of twofish basically uses an IV seed which is added to the requested sector number to get a per sector IV.
The second implementation encrypts the sector number with the key to get a per sector IV.
(Look at the source for the exact details.)
The implementation should build without modifying your linux-kernel source tree, so testing should be easy.
Please get it and give me some feedback.
so long Ingo
