Encrypting your File System

Encrypting your File System
redhatlinks Magazine published a full tutorial on how to enable a two password encryption scheme for its encrypted file system, EncFS.

The tutorial even includes some tips and tricks on securing your data/files, e.g.,

- Store secondary passwords on removable media-a USB stick for example. Keep the physical media in secure place. Never leave media unattended.

- It may be hard to detect that you use two passwords because encrypted files are stored in the same folder. If you have a large number of files encrypted with your primary password and only a few files encrypted with the secondary one, it is very likely that your secondary files may go unnoticed.


Now I wonder how I can migrate this to the Mac OS X via FUSE. :)
