Encrypted Root LVM

05/14/2008  
Relevance: 9.22
This tutorial deals only with how to add an extra encrypted physical volume to a volume group pool containing other encrypted physical volumes. This is typical scenario if, at first, you have set up your encryption at a physical partition level (/dev/sdaX where X is the a number of your partition), then you set up your LVM on top of the encrypted partition. If at some later time you want to add another partition in your volume group, you will also want to have it encrypted in order to maintain the same level of security.

Create Encrypted Volumes With Cryptmount and Linux

04/24/2008  
Relevance: 8.73
Cryptmount is a friendly front-end to a batch of Linux utilities used to create encrypted volumes, such as device mapper, dm-crypt, and the kernel's loopback device. It requires root privileges to create encrypted files or partitions, and then once it's set up users can mount and unmount their own encrypted volumes on demand.

Automatically mount encrypted filesystems at login with pam_mount

11/07/2008  
Relevance: 8.16
The pam_mount project lets you unlock an encrypted filesystem automatically when you log in. The same password used to log in is used as the key to unlock the encrypted filesystem, so you only need to type it once. Using this method, you can easily share a laptop and have only a single user's home directory unlocked and mounted when he logs in. And pam_mount can mount any filesystem, not just encrypted filesystems, so you can use it, for example, with an NFS share that you are interested in but which you might not like to leave mounted when you are not logged in.

TrueCrypt - Free opensource on the fly Disk Encryption tool

08/08/2008  
Relevance: 7.47
TrueCrypt is a free opensource software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right before they are loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. Entire file system is encrypted (e.g., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc).

Review: Protecting Data with Encrypted Linux Partitions Part 2

06/22/2007  
Relevance: 7.08
Last week we learned how to create and use an encrypted, password-protected hard-drive partition usingcryptsetup-luks. Today we're going to learn how to mount it automatically at boot, how to encrypt a USB stick, and some slick password-management hacks.

Protecting filesystems and swap space with Cryptmount

03/07/2008  
Relevance: 7.02
Cryptmount allows you to encrypt both your filesystems and swap space. An encrypted filesystem can be stored on a block device like a normal filesystem -- for example, using /dev/sda2 -- or inside a normal file in another filesystem. This later method is especially handy when you would like to work with an encrypted filesystem without changing your partition tables or working with the Logical Volume Manager (LVM). Cryptmount can also encrypt your swap space so that information from an encrypted filesystem is not inadvertently made less secure by the Linux kernel swapping a process out to disk.

TrueCrypt HOWTO Truly Portable Data Encryption

05/26/2007  
Relevance: 6.68
TrueCrypt is free software that encrypts data 'on-the-fly' . You can create an encrypted hard drive, a separate partition or a directory with TrueCrypt. It doesn't encrypt simply the content of files but their names and the names of the directories as well. Moreover there is no way to check the size of the encrypted volume. TrueCrypt is available for Windows and Linux. |

Automatically Unlock LUKS Encrypted Drives With A Keyfile

07/09/2008  
Relevance: 6.64
This howto shows how to unlock multiple devices in the intial ramdisk remotely. I suggest to use a keyfile for automatic unlocking. The keyfile should be stored in the normally encrypted root partition - so you still have to unlock that one. During boot process it will then be used to unlock all the other devices.
