Not in the way I'm imagining it. You want each *whole partition* on the disk to be encrypted as stored on the disk, which means that you need to decrypt it on-the-fly, which means that the decryption is done in a Linux driver, not in the boot program. Are you thinking of decrypting the whole disk (into...RAM?!) and passing that to Linux? You'd still need to enter a password, else store it in cleartext where the boot program can get it. > I just saw that (years ago, on a linux) in one commercial product - > they had an image of a functioning system that they passed to an > unprivileged person - the person could use it, but files were encrypted > - so usage was possible, while as to read the files of the OS - > impossible. Let us know what the product was, and maybe we can work from there. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
