It might not be ideal but it still can be used. Though, I would not call CBC common at all. Pretty much everyone has switched to CTR or some variant of it (such as GCM).
Also, CBC is not a stream cipher algorithm.
- JoshTriplett 7y agoThat online manpage is quite outdated; I recommend man7.org, which gets regularly auto-updated: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/cryptsetup.8.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/cryptsetup.8.html . The current default for LUKS is XTS.
