According to the issue tracker Taru Karttunen was working on the issue
a year ago. IIRC he was also follwing this mailing list. We don't have
additional information about the state of his work.

So, we'll have to revive the topic ourselves soon, but do not have
detailed plans just some bullet points

- Cipher and hash for block-device encryption. Candidates are SHA and

- Sufficiently secure sources for random numbers including a kind of
  entropy gathering daemon
- Block-device service with encryption

Could you please elaborate more what's your interest in Crypto on
Genode or what scenario you're targeting?
