Isso depende basicamente do seu kernel, então " See / proc / crypto " deve ser "a resposta". A página do manual cryptsetup diz isso:
NOTES ON SUPPORTED CIPHERS, MODES, HASHES AND KEY SIZES
The available combinations of ciphers, modes, hashes and key sizes depend
on kernel support. See /proc/crypto for a list of available options. You
might need to load additional kernel crypto modules in order to get more
options.
For the --hash option, if the crypto backend is libgcrypt, then all algo‐
rithms supported by the gcrypt library are available. For other crypto
backends some algorithms may be missing.
No entanto, o meu /proc/crypto
não menciona nenhuma serpente ou xts (aes), então, em vez disso, recomendo ver quais cryptsetup benchmark
relatórios (e também mostrariam velocidades (ram)). Por exemplo:
$ cryptsetup benchmark
# Tests are approximate using memory only (no storage IO).
PBKDF2-sha1 292752 iterations per second
PBKDF2-sha256 221362 iterations per second
PBKDF2-sha512 142010 iterations per second
PBKDF2-ripemd160 277124 iterations per second
PBKDF2-whirlpool 155727 iterations per second

Os hashes são as primeiras linhas (sha1, sha256, sha512, ripemd160, whirlpool). As cifras estão sob o cabeçalho do algoritmo.
Examinar quais são os padrões dá uma boa idéia do que é considerado "muito bom" também:
$ cryptsetup --help|tail -n 8
Default compiled-in key and passphrase parameters:
Maximum keyfile size: 8192kB, Maximum interactive passphrase length 512 (characters)
Default PBKDF2 iteration time for LUKS: 1000 (ms)
Default compiled-in device cipher parameters:
loop-AES: aes, Key 256 bits
plain: aes-cbc-essiv:sha256, Key: 256 bits, Password hashing: ripemd160
LUKS1: aes-xts-plain64, Key: 256 bits, LUKS header hashing: sha1, RNG: /dev/urandom
E usar um tamanho de chave mais alto (com --key-size
) só deve ser mais forte, se um pouco mais lento.
--key-size, -s <bits>
Sets key size in bits. The argument has to be a multiple of 8.
The possible key-sizes are limited by the cipher and mode used.
See /proc/crypto for more information. Note that key-size in
/proc/crypto is stated in bytes.
