Full Disk Encryption - Xen, Windows and Linux?
Bofh To asks: "I'm in an industry that, more or less, requires full disk encryption, and to accomplish this, we use Pointsec on Windows. For the past 8 years, I've been running Linux on my work laptop, and this is the first time I'm running in a Windows only environment. I am interested in changing that, because I want to use Linux as my main platform, and only drop in to Windows when necessary (and use crossover if at all possible). I'm also interested in Xen, and would like to see if I can use that to virtualize Windows under Linux. My thought is that, as long as Pointsec is in dom0 and I use virtual disks for the Windows VM, I should be covered. The problem is that I'd also like a machine that is usable, as opposed to waiting endlessly as the virtual memory, virtual machine, pointsec, and xen all thrash around while I'm working on the machine. Has anyone used Pointsec for Linux, with Xen? " -
Open Source Removable Media Encryption?
An anonymous reader asks: "I'm trying to find a solution for encrypting removable media connected to my network's computers. Ideally, the solution would: allow Enterprise deployment and configuration in a Windows XP environment; be free and open source; not require administrative privileges to use (encrypt/decrypt files and media); and allow decryption via freely available and platform-independent methods on the destination machine. I've looked at PointSec for Removable Media, but it requires Windows on both ends. I've also looked at TrueCrypt, but it doesn't appear to limit encryption to only removable media (I don't want users encrypting their hard drives). Slashdot, can you help me?"
