Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package
loop-aes-modules-2.6-amd64, which is part of the admin section, and
maintained by Debian Kernel Team <debian-kernel at lists.debian.org>. 

This package contains : loop-AES encryption for Linux 2.6 on AMD64.

This package depends on the loop-AES encryption modules for latest Linux
kernel 2.6 on all 64bit single- and multiprocessor AMD and Intel machines.

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.
