Hi everybody, I'd really appreciate if you can help me with this...
I'd like to find a "generic mechanism" that let me to encrypt unix system operating and database backups. System operating backups (AIX, SCO, HP-UX, Solaris) are made using utilities like ufsdump, dump or tar and database backups (Sybase, Oracle, Adabas, Informix) are made using commercial products like SQL-BackTrack or OmniBack. >From "Practical Unix & Internet Security", I know that I could use something like dump f - /u | des -e | dd bs=10240 of=/dev/rmt8 However, I have used freebsd's bdes encryption utility, but I have not succesfully compiled this program in Solaris neither another unix yet, and I have not des utility in my unix boxes. Is there some generic utility/algorithm in order to do this kind of encryption, which acts like a wrapper (maybe des, 3des, aes, pgp)? Some ideas or URL's? Thanks in advance.
