I'm constantly switching between NT and 95 and have them installed on the same drive. Would be cool to have some low level driver to encryption from the Master Boot Record for example to get around unfriendly OS's- but then NT won't respect the BIOS calls, 95 in 32 bit mode won't, Linux sure as hell wont, etc....
Linux, however, does have the cfs (crypted filesystem), which will let you do the same thing. Supposedly lets you plug in your own encryption method and all that... Also allows different users to encrypt with different passwords, and such (or just the root user encrypt the whole partition). Find the web page for more info.
Not quite what I'm looking for I'm afraid. What I want is a big partition that's encrypted, but accessible from Windows NT, 95, and Linux. In other words, I need an encrypted drive device driver for all of the above operating systems that's compatible across them. So when I'm running NT, I can use the drive, when I'm running 95 I can use the drive, when I'm running Linux I can use the drive. Now linux has a nice UMS which lets me access DOS drives. If that were merged with - say SecureDrive, and if SecureDrive were rewritten as a 32 bit VxD minidriver for 95, and if there were a version of the same for NT, >THAT< would be cool. :) ========================================================================== + ^ + | Ray Arachelian |FL| KAOS KERAUNOS KYBERNETOS |==/|\== \|/ |sunder@dorsai.org|UL|__Nothing_is_true,_all_is_permitted!_|=/\|/\= <--+-->| --------------- |CG|What part of 'Congress shall make no |=\/|\/= /|\ | Just Say "No" to|KA|law abridging the freedom of speech' |==\|/== + v + | Janet Reno & GAK|AK| do you not understand? |======= ===================http://www.dorsai.org/~sunder/========================= Key Escrow Laws are the mating calls of those who'd abuse your privacy!
