------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TrueCrypt This is a block level encryption technique. No signature to detect if the disk is random (secure wiped) or encrypted. It can actually be used to do security wiping of a partition. Works by double encrypting to prevent recongition that it is an encrypted partition???? (as if double encrypting is truely worht it). It was originally written for Windows 2000/XP/2003, but is available in linux. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- True Crypt on Linux Install download excutable archive package http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads Run it as root to run wizard There is a 'mounting error' (actually sudo config file error). Basically you must disable "Defaults requiretty", but I do this normally anyway.
