Stu has kindly consented to talk at the SCLUG meeting of 12/10, and his 
topic is a meaty one: Encrypted File Systems In Linux.  Bring your 
propellor-beanies and be prepared to think hard!  Here's what Stu said:

"I will cover the difference between digests and ciphers, and VERY 
briefly talk about ciphers available in the 2.6 kernel. I then will talk 
about and demonstrate simple filesystem encryption using losetup and mount.
This will then be followed by a brief look at the loop-aesproject and 
the advantages of using gpg to encrypt the encryption key itself. I will 
then review and demonstrate the use of cryptsetup and cryptsetup-luks as 
(what I believe to be) the future of file system encryption for Linux.
I will then hand a laptop to Gareth that has an encrypted root 
filesystem, and challenge him to change the root password without 
damaging any other files on the system. *grin*"

See you at the meeting!

Orv
