GBDE-GEOM Based Disk Encryption on FreeBSD

Posted by michael on Saturday September 27, 2003 @08:33PM from the as-long-as-men-are-capable-of-evil dept.

BSD Forums writes "The ever increasing mobility of computers has made protection of data on digital storage media an important requirement in a number of applications and situations. GBDE is a strong cryptographic facility for denying unauthorised access to data stored on a 'cold' disk for decades and longer. GBDE operates on the disk(-partition) level allowing any type of file system or database to be protected. A significant focus has been put on the practical aspects in order to make it possible to deploy GBDE in the real world. FreeBSD's Poul-Henning Kamp says in an email to freebsd-current that he has uploaded this paper and slides which he presented at BSDcon 2003, California, USA."

Let me know how you fit Sweden into this - Denmark lost power due to the power failure that caused 1/3 of Sweden to be out of power for 2 hours.

Allah, God and Jehova (Jahve) are three names for the same deity. If you knew anything about religion you would know that, and you might even know the extreme similarities between Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

Sadly, it seems you don't.
