[CentOS] dm-crypt/LUKS the state of the art for block device encryption?
it's been a while since i've played with filesystem encryption so, on centos 5.4 (and other linux distros), is dm-crypt/LUKS considered to be the state of the art WRT encryption? i remember other solutions like loop-aes and others, but what's considered the gold standard these days? rday -- Robert P.

Yes, dm-crypt/LUKS/ configured in /etc/crypttab is the blessed way afaik. /Peter signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
