- Or just remove it if you have enough memory.

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

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)

IDE security exists, with password-locking on a hard drive level.
- hdparm supports this functionality. It's bypassible by professional data recovery companies though.

diskdrake
andmount
. I have no idea how to figure that stuff out though. -

[[Data security]] has been updated, as I did a bit of research on "sanitizing". Specifically, I had a couple of drives which I wanted to wipe.. and I noticed that formatting had no options.. to "actually format".
I was doing drive sanitization because I picked up another HDD and was able to retire some other devices. I figured some [[Linux]] kernel issues out and so the serious speed problems I was having have gone away. Having triple the drive speed really does make a difference.
Data security remains a mild interest of mine.
