Well, if not the whole keyfile is taken into account and one can modify it (even taking something away from the end is possible), wouldn't that mean that there are multiple keys for the lock? Does the length of the encryption key and the number of rounds have anything to do with how much of the file is actually used? Just trying to understand why it works the way it does... :-)
