Hi Radam, I wonder what keywords you used to google for. I did several searches, and refined my search keywords to "cryptographic filesystem Linux". One article just leaped out at me that should fairly address your concerns. It's an article from Linux Journal. It discusses Matt Blaze's Cryptographic Filesystem (CFS) for Linux. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6381 There's also TCFS (Transparent Cryptographic Filesystem) at http://tcfs.dia.unisa.it. eric -- ___ _____________________________ eric pareja (xenos AT maharlika.upm.edu.ph) \e/ [ Philippine Linux Users' Group ] Linux User #8159 http://counter.li.org v [Python Power!] [Debian Rocks!] [Ubiquitous Computing] /. #2834 Software Free the books!
