Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to recreate the functionality of PGP Disk (under
Win32). Basically, create an encrypted file, which contains a filesystem
which can then be mounted in any mount point.
I know I can use GELI in FreeBSD 6 - as I understand, it performs the
encryption at the partition level (the whole partition is encrypted).
I'd like to be able to simply unmount my 'secure volume', and be able to
back it up as a whole, or move it to another computer without having to
repartition the destination. I think GELI wouldn't be good for this.
GELI or GBDE are probably what you're looking for, you just need to use
mdconfig to create a vnode (file) backed disk image which you will
encrypt and then create a file system on.
Thanks Brooks and everyone else who kindly pointed me in the right
direction :) I think I will use GELI (i like the 2 key system, and it
seems to be newer technology.)
cheers,
Beto
