Sles 10 Encryption Program


When I install SuSE SLES 10 and choose to encrypt the partitions during the installation process, what program is SuSE using for the encryption?

SLES uses cryptoloop. It puts the entries for encrypted partitions in the file /etc/cryptotab which functions similarly to /etc/fstab during system startup.
