Cryptographic filesystem for Linux?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Is there an encrypted filesystem for Linux out there? I'm speaking of something like Secure File System(DOS), but for Linux. The kernel in question is 1.1.59, soon to be upgraded to a later version. IDE drive, ex2fs formatted file system. Regards. - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.

I've thought about porting Matt Blaze's "cfs" to linux. For several reasons: -- because I trust his practical crypto ability more than mine or most anyone else's -- because it runs in user-level code rather than in the kernel -- making both installation and development much easier -- because it's had some serious usage and refinement Q: What is it in the "cfs" code that makes it BSD-specific? How much work would it be to overcome that? thx, strick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQBVAwUBLvfhzwq3IMgMJUNlAQFXdwH/ZNmZx+sK14Qv/ZxHMbGPXDYbxmex0Dz6 X0RB3yuidJlgKUo0OjP1oWtncDDNBa8kwt6Agt9IHQ6sMHepZkmz9A== =SBNL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

cfs already runs on linux, s'far as I can tell. I was using it on linux about a year ago or so.. -- sameer Voice: 510-841-2014 Network Administrator Pager: 510-321-1014 Community ConneXion: The NEXUS-Berkeley Dialin: 510-549-1383 http://www.c2.org (or login as "guest") sameer@c2.org

Matt Blaze's CFS should port to any system where NFS works... .pm
