Hi folks. I'm quite a new Haiku enthusiast and this is my very first email on this list. Just want to thank you all devs and users!! I'm very impressed by progresses has been done recently and I'm trying to understand what's the best way to help a little... so far I just bought Haiku stuff on Cafepress, I know I can do better :)
Welcome and thanks!
I think Haiku one day could be easily my only desktop OS (I just need 2 users and a splash), but to be really killer to me, I'd love to have a way to encrypt every personal data on the harddisk. I know I can keep stuff encrypted via openssl or gnupg, but I'm wondering if there is any kind of development idea about built-in cryptography, such as the Ubuntu built-in solution: https://launchpad.net/ecryptfs but of course any other way is very well welcome to me :) See you soon community!
I know Axel ported TrueCrypt a while ago. It works based on a filesystem image somewhere on your harddisk and you mount it like another partition. The disk itself is then encrypted, while you can use any filesystem on it. I think he made it available somewhere, but I don't remember where... :-) He can probably jump in and tell us!
Best regards, -Stephan
