It counts the Initialization Vector (IV) in + a larger sector size instead of 512-bytes sectors. + + This option does not have any performance or security impact, + but it can be used for accessing incompatible existing disk images + from other systems. + + Only open action with plain device type and sector size > 512 bytes + are supported. + +* Fix a memory leak in BitLocker compatible handling. + +* Allow EBOIV (Initialization Vector algorithm) use. + + The EBOIV initialization vector is intended to be used internally + with BitLocker devices (for CBC mode). It can now be used also + outside of the BitLocker compatible code. + +* Require both keyslot cipher and key size options. + + If these LUKS2 keyslot parameters were not specified together, + cryptsetup silently failed. + +* Update to man pages and FAQ. |
