It is encrypted with aes. My Intel Core i5 supports the AES instructions set. However, on boot, no aes kernel module is loaded at all. Thus, only the built-in aes is used. The "detection" for the correct aes module works: karl:~ # modprobe -v aes insmod /lib/modules/2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop/kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-aes.ko WARNING: Error inserting padlock_aes (/lib/modules/2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-aes.ko): No such device Adding aes to the modules that are loaded on boot by editing /etc/sysconfig/kernel, increases dm-crypt AES performance on tmpfs from 40-50MB/s to 170-180MB/s!
