SubjectRe: A patch to loop.c for better cryption support
Date
IV's should never be repeated (per key).  If you are using CBC mode,
they should not be just a counter, either (for different reasons).

A simple implementation technique is simply to use the encryption of
a block number / sector number / counter as your IV. This ensures that
IV's don't repeat and that they all look cryptographically random.
