TL;DR - NSA encryption algorithm included in Linux kernel 4.17
Arch ALREADY allegedly uses it.
Anyone hear about this ? More details ?
View PC info
Just to clarify - encryption that can be defeated by the "good guys" (or in the case of NSA organisations that self identifies as such) is a BAD idea, because the that same weakness will be exploited by people who are definitively NOT "good guys". And don't even get me started on the 'notting to hide' stupidity ;)

I saw a brilliant thing online as an answer to that.
"Do I have something to hide ? Yes EVERYTHING.
Do I have any reason to ? no."
Either everyone has privacy or nobody does.
Hope they pull this out of arch on 4.17.11-2
Otherwise will change distros.
Seems it is disabled by default , but i don;t want it in my kernel. This is what i see loaded in arch atm :

How about optimized bloatware-free stock ROM with powerful and efficient GPL-complied ARM/any architecture chipsets instead?
Also, what's wrong with AES? Decades we're using AES encryption without much problems and now suddenly wheel need to be invented again? I cannot accept IoT excuses especially Moore's law are still alive, even do it severely aging.

Good question - even the crappiest of the low end cpus ( MediaTek, et al. ) seem to have hardware AES. I guess it may simply eat up too much of the cpu to do full runtime en/de-cryption of all disc access with AES.
