[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#518266: cryptsetup: determining available hashes/ciphers/keysize

[Matt Taggart]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-7
Severity: wishlist

The cryptsetup(8) man page mentions the default hash, cipher, and keysize 
values for different cases, but I am looking for a way to determine what 
values are available. Looking at the source it seems to determine this from 
/proc/crypto (so I guess depends on what kernel modules are loaded?).

Could cryptsetup have an option to print available options? Maybe if you 
invoked a flag with "list" like

  cryptsetup --cipher list

it could list available options?

Also I think only certain combinations are supported, it would be nice if 
somehow it could list those too.

Thanks,
