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."

That sounds a lot like the USA, with it's "family values" - supported by claiming "God bless America" (incidently, the same god is called Allah and is claimed to support the fight _against_ the US .. )
