Encrypt entire filesystem with AES 256bit. Softraid tutorial?

2009-12-18 Thread Andres Salazar
Hello,
Iam looking for ways to encrypt my entire filesystem, but it must be
with AES 256bits... Ive bene searching and I deduce that the only
option I have is using softraid, however iam unable to find any
tutorial or guide. Anybody know if this is possible, if I have any
other option (with 256 AES cipher) and if there is a guide?

Thank you.

Andres

Here are some softraid crypto notes I wrote that might help:

http://16systems.com/OpenBSD/softraid.txt

Softraid crypto does use AES, not sure it's 256-bit. Also understand
that several key mount points cannot be encrypted... so when you say
entire filesystem understand what is and is not encrypted. softraid
crypto is experimental too, but in my experience works well enough for
day to day use.

softraid uses 256 bit AES, but whatever your requirements are, if they
specify a key size but not a mode, I'd say they are underspecified.
