eCryptFS. Nice article in Linux Journal: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9400. On 6/12/07, Dean S. Messing <deanm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I'm about to travel to a "sensitive" part of the world and want to quickly encrypt selected directories and file systems in a transparent way just in case. I know nothing about this and don't have time to look carefully into it since I leave very soon. Is there an easy way to do this so that the filesystems and directories "act normally" after boot. (Kernel based encryption?) Preferably I give it a password at boot time and then it automagically acts like it always has. One linux FS is /ddriv which holds all my non-system Windows related files (.doc, .ppt) for Windows XP (which runs as a guest in VMware). It is accessed from Windows via a Vmware "shared folder." Is Vmware smart enough to work properly with the encrypted FS. (I suppose if it's Kernel based, the answer is "yes") Will the same method work for both filesystems and directories that are not filesystems? Thanks.
