There are several encrypted filesystems for Linux.
Ones aimed at distributed filesystems (NFS replacements):
- "CFS", which has been packaged and is available from nonUS.debian.org.
- "TCFS", http://tcfs.dia.unisa.it/
Another approach is using a loop filesystem (see losetup(8)) with DES
encryption; see ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/BETA/loop/ .
There's also something at ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/replay/pub/linux/all .
And there was an article on encrypted filesystems in the July issue of Linux
Journal.

I'd be interested to hear from him. There are so many pseudos around taking
