security and encryption
 

Is there any good way of encrypting file on the n800? like encfs, truecrypt or anything like that?

Re: security and encryption
 

gpg is there, from the command line. NoteCase (http://notecase.sourceforge.net/) has built-in encryption for the notes.

Any idea if the gpgnu implementation is fully functional? I have been trying to generate a key and seem to be having problems at the end when I enter the passphrase. Granted it could be my keyboard spitting out duplicate chars but not sure.

Has anyone used it successfully with DSA/Elgamal/1024bits?
After the passphrase input I get the error message:

"gpg: [Internal]:0: invalid algorithm"

Yes but have you been able to encrypt and sign a file with it (and with confidence)?

take a look at this thread

Gpg works but I believe that works with single files. I'm also looking for encfs or truecrypt since it transparently encrypts entire filesystems... (usually as a file that's mounted as a loopback device)

I've tried compiling my own copy of truecrypt but keep on encountering issues with the process (esp. dm-crypt). Anyone else have better luck?

Yes, I've recompiled a kernel with dm and encrypt a whole partition.
Works like a charm.

I didn't post because it needs a custom kernel (dm has to be linked to the kernel, module is not possible, afaik) and not sure people will use a new kernel.

So it's kernel-level encryption. No need for any software in theory. In practice I have also ported one tool to ease the mounting. Now I need one command to mount my enc partition.

As for truecrypt, it's another layer. I have no use of this

Re: security and encryption
 

I'd love to grab a copy or if you link me the resources that you used to compile that kernel. I found an old doc about compiling the kernel for, I think OS2007, but my scratchbox install was different enough to cause me major problems during the cross compile. Tried compiling the kernel with dm-crypt on the unit itself but that didn't go well either.

I don't need truecrypt either, I can't seem to keep track of how fast the tech changes (Started using cryptoloop, which was overtaken by encfs, but then now...?)

Linux encrypted partition
 

I've moved it here

Wonderful! thank you! This will finally let me leave my laptop at home. :D I had a bit of a problem getting cryptsetup installed (seemed like I couldn't get my hands on libgcrypt11 v1.4.0 but it seems ok with 1.2)

Re: security and encryption
 

Oops gcrypt :) Sorry..
Maybe contact me in PM for problems like this, I'll update the thread. Thanks.
In theory (if I haven't forgotten too many things like above..), there should be no need for external lib,..
I've put libgcrypt 1.4 in my repo.
