It's hosted on sourceforge.net. Google will turn up a lot of information... |
| 19 |
but here's what I do... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
mount -t ecryptfs /crypt /crypt -o |
| 22 |
rw,key=passphrase,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32,cipher=aes,passthrough=no |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
/crypt on /crypt type ecryptfs |
| 25 |
(rw,ecryptfs_sig=cf5c9b2c19863be6,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
When mounted in this manner... whatever you stick in /crypt is encrypted |
| 29 |
automaticly. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
You should read/print "man ecryptfs" when you get a chance. It covers the |
| 32 |
nitty gritty details. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Over all, I like it a LOT. Heavy encryption, key not stored on the disk, |
| 35 |
unless you desire it... A simple umount command and access to the decrypted |
| 36 |
files is denied... Quite powerful and there's no limits to using it, other |
| 37 |
than you can't encrypt "/"... |
| 38 |

Cheers and have a nice weekend. |
