Greetings:
I have been working on a few ideas I have to make a BSD system (like a 386BSD system on a nice fast PC) into a secure base system for a BBS that is somewhat "raid-proof". The basic plan is the encrypt the filesystem and use public key encryption to separate the system administrator from the information contained within the system and make it harder to do blanket searches of computer systems such as those I have seen happen in this area. Here is a basic outline of what I plan on doing, any comments would be appreciated.
my office mate and I were talking along simular lines, but for DOS. we were thinking of setting up disk/partition encryption software that works like the product "stacker" or "double disk". but instead of just compressing we encrypt. When the system boots it will ask for a password phrase, it you do not provide on the disk will not me accessable (it will just appear to be a unformated partition). Thus when you are raided and they power down your system, they will loose access to the date.
