Hello, I think there was already a thread on this. I just want to raise the question again if anyone has successfully booted an gdbe-encrypted filesystem (everything encrypted except the bootloader). The passphrase is entered at the bootloader prompt or embedded in the bootloader. I appreciate any tips. Thanks, - ronnel

So I am more than happy to see people band together and improve gbde. The main work necessary is to polish the userland program and that is relatively trivial programming, so anyone should be able to pick that up: just go for it. Giving gbde a t...

Hello, I was playing around with geli an gbde after last EuroBSDCon. I liked the idea of encrypting my data which resides in /home/$user. Since this is a "single" user laptop i intended to encrypt the whole /home partition. Well no problems with that. But i wanted the lockfile or keyfile on a seperate usb disc. Which would be mounte...

Speaking of GELI / GBDE. I was reading Marc's excellent paper on Complete harddrive encryption for FreeBSD using GBDE/GELI and the problem I have is it all depends on a bootable removable token that can by physically secured. While an excellent solution for laptop / desktop users it just doesn't work with a remo...

Hello, Has anyone wrote a how-to or a guick guide on how to encrypt an existing partition/disk using gbde? I've tried to search in the net but i cudn't find any. Is it possible to just move the existing data on my disk, cleanup the disk and encrypt using gbde, attach to the system, then move back the data to the now encrypted disk. Thanks, - ronnel

Hello out there, everybody! I was actually expecting to find several (hundred) threads with this subject being discussed. To my surprise I didn't find a single one either on these mailing lists or in the newsgroups - at least not in a language I understand. :-) I realize that gbde and geli are not designed to be better than the other but that both fit different needs and different tastes. Although I I am studying computer science myself, I haven't really gotten to this kind of stuff yet, so simply listing the differences doesn't help too much. For a friend of mine I...

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

Dear all, I tried to port Transparent Cryptographic File System (http://www.tcfs.it) OpenBSD version to FreeBSD 4.8, but failed. Has any one tried this before? How much modification is needed? Any info is appreciated. Thanks, Yan

As a napp-it user who recently needs to upgrade from NexentaCore I recently saw "preferred for OpenIndiana live but running under Illumian, NexentaCore and Solaris 11 (Express)" as a system recommendation for napp-it. I wonder about the future of OpenIndiana and Illumian, which fork is likely to see the most continued development, in your opinion? Thanks.

Hello, i want to encrypt my HDD's with GELI (not the root-fs, though). I want to do the encryption without password, just with a key. The key should be stored in a floppy disk, and the read should be read automatically on boot, from the floppy. There is a problem here, because GELI initializes _before_ mounting the disks from /etc/fstab (for obvious reasons, of course). So GELI is not able

Hi, I'm pondering building my own SSL accelerator out of a multi-CPU FreeBSD system and a crypto accelerator. What's the recommended hardware crypto accelerator card these days?
