Cryptsetup FAQ montly pointer 4/2015
The Wiki-Version of the FAQ has moved:
https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
Please update your bookmarks.
I have not had time to polish it for the new markup and automated conversion to the ASCII version in the sources. Maybe over easter.
The source code has moved to kernel.org:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/cryptsetup/
Verifying signatures now requires decompression first, just as for the kernel sources. While decompressin before verification presents a slight risk (attacks on the decompressor), this has been discussed for the kernel case on the LKML and the risk was deemed acceptable (I agree). Hence please do not warm this discussion up again.
Gr"usse,
Arno
