However, you did ask how it was > insecure! :-) Yep, I did ask and I wish to thank you for your explanation! If I understood you right, the statement that dm-crypt is insecure is, as far as the usage pattern of most of the users will go, nothing but FUD. The statement should at least go like "dm-crypt & loop-AES are all insecure, if used in default mode". Thanks!
