The moders solutions (NT5+, DES/AES-256+ in SQLite3Cypher & OpenVPN,..) are declared 100% crypto reliable. But the main problem of IT-security now is not how to encrypt but how to maintain crypto keys. Especially on Win-32 since Windows machines are easily infected by viruses which allow 1) reading/writing any data even system ones & 2) key logging (spying passwords which unlock private RSA keys & certificates),.. Who knows, are there free-of-charge & reliable software solutions from key logging ? AS to JFS, AFAIK, it doesn't perform user-data journalling only meta-data. In this case, a user file may easily be truncated to zero size etc - me encountered it with ReiserFS. PS: Me think, the discussed project is very-very challenging - it requires a lof & at zero price both software & additional hardware:) 2011/11/26, Graeme Geldenhuys <graemeg.li...@gmail.com>: > On 26/11/2011, Martin Schreiber <mse00000@...> wrote: >> >> Was fsync activated?
