Packet Storm

cryptmount Filesystem Manager: Posted May 7, 2009; Authored by RW Penney | Site cryptmount.sourceforge.net; cryptmount is a utility for creating and managing secure filing systems on GNU/Linux systems. After initial setup, it allows any user to mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by the kernel dm-crypt system and the libgcrypt library) can be used to protect both the filesystem and the access key. The protected filing systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package also supports encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on system boot-up.; Changes: Support for encrypted filesystems without separate key files or partition headers was added. The security of the built-in SHA1/Blowfish key manager was improved through more extensive password hashing. Facilities for creating LUKS encrypted partitions were improved. Robustness to possible race conditions in handling udev events was improved. Many areas of legacy code were tidied.; tags | kernel, encryption; systems | linux; SHA-256 | f10d60c51661fe4bb06dbd97638d45b27392522bad1f294096122cb187193cb7; Download | Favorite | View
