Mr. Ruusu:

	Well, while I am very happy with AES-256 as my encryption
algorithm, it is nice to the encompassment of great choice within the
loop-aes software package.

	Good work and thank you again for all your expertise!

So many people have asked about more ciphers for loop-AES that next
release
may have additional extra-ciphers package with at least serpent,
blowfish
and twofish ciphers.

I copied and audited serpent and blowfish from cryptoapi, and took
twofish
from SuSE kernel sources. Just for the record, blowfish implementation
in
cryptoapi on little endian boxes is not straight blowfish, but some
mutated-byteorder-variation. Cryptoapi blowfish on big endian boxes
implements blowfish correctly.
