Please add support for TrueCrypt using libtcplay #235

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently cryptset supports TrueCrypt volumes only via  kernel userspace crypto.

The problem is that on Android, this is not usable, as cryptsetup cannot be 
built with kernel userspace crypto support for Android (please correct me if I 
am wrong about this).
So, if you could add support for TrueCrypt also by using libtcplay 
[https://github.com/bwalex/tc-play]. That would be great.

Thanks.

Tcplay library is not option here, it supports only XTS mode containers and 
even implements this mode locally (cryptsetup avoids to implement cryptographic 
primitives, it always use libraries). Current version uses kernel crypto even 
for LUKS (while there is still fallback).

There are two options - either try to use existing library like gcrypt (and 
implement at least basic support or required modes) or just allow to use 
userspace kernel crypto in Android. I strongly prefer the second variant. But 
this is question for Android OS developers...

If you prefer tcplay, why not simple use Android compiled version of it?

Actually I prefer cryptsetup :)

Alright, I was able to build cryptsetup with kernel userspace crypto support at 
last.

Yet the problem is that depending on the device on which cryptsetup will be 
installed, the feature might  not work. It depends whether the kernel of that 
device has the necessary modules or not.

Thanks for your help.
