I've managed to hack my way into implementing both IDEA and DES
encryption into the loop driver.

<smirk>
For those of you inside the United States, you can pick up a copy of
these patches at

http://www.binary9.net/nicholas/linuxkernel/patches
</smirk>

There are several important files:
loopfull-1.0-patch
Contains all the kernel patches for both encryption types.
mount-2.5j-patch
Contains support for the IDEA type in mount/losetup
loop-1.0-patch
Places and fixes some stub code in drivers/block/loop.c. I hope
that Linus will include this in the next release. It contains
no encryption code itself. But MUST be in place before you
apply the next two:
des-1.0-patch
Implements the DES routines
idea-1.0-patch
Implements the IDEA routines

<smirk>
Once again, I will remind everyone that only citizens of the united
states may retrieve the DES/IDEA patches as they contain encryption
routines that violate my Wonderful Country's Munitions Export Law.

N!
