OpenBSD can encrypt swapspace
Continuing it's reputation for security, the OpenBSD kernel can now
encrypt the contents of swap space, so that sensitive data can no longer
be swapped to disk 'in clear', where it could survive reboots. The
Blowfish cypher is used, as it is strong, fast, with a big key space.
Obviously, there's a small speed penalty for this option.
Note: The BSD section has been a little empty recently, due to
illness. Thanks to all who enquired after me, I appreciate it :-)
