Linux ∞

• Swap partition encryption

  • This is trivially available with Debian.
  • Or just remove it if you have enough memory.

BSD ∞

• Setting up an encrypted file system, by Niklas Saers (dated)

Under FreeBSD 5, there is GEOM Based Disk Encryption (gbde):

• FreeBSD Handbook: 16.15 Encrypting Disk Partitions
• you cannot use gbde with vinum volumes

• Utilizes AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) in CBC mode (Cipher block chaining)

  • AES provides strong encryption and has been selected by NIST as a Federal Information Processing Standard in November 2001 (FIPS-197)
  • Please be aware that this code has not yet received much review and analysis by qualified cryptographers and therefore should be considered a slightly suspect experimental facility. (source)

  • How to image a Linux box

• IDE security exists, with password-locking on a hard drive level.

  • hdparm supports this functionality. It's bypassible by professional data recovery companies though.
• Linux has some kind of "encrypted filesystem" mentioned by diskdrake and mount. I have no idea how to figure that stuff out though.
