Myers) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Crytographic file system? Date: 24 Mar 1996 02:40:30 GMT Organization: PSI Public Usenet Link Lines: 17 Message-ID: <4j2cmu$g9m@usenet6.interramp.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ip238.san-francisco3.ca.interramp.com X-Newsreader: knews 0.9.3 Are there any implementations of a cryptographic file system for FreeBSD? Ideally, I'd like to have one that allows you to mount a partition by giving a password. Then, every block of data written to or read from the partition will be encrypted on the fly using the password. Once finished with the partition, you unmount it, forcing any intruder to guess your password or try a brute force attack. CryptDisk is an example of a similar thing using 128-bit IDEA for the Macintosh. Thanks for any information. -David.
