cryptmount assists system administrators in setting up encrypted filesystems based on the device mapper (dm-crypt) of GNU/Linux systems using a 2.6-series kernel. After initial setup, it allows any user to mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by the kernel and OpenSSL library) can be used to protect both the filing system and the access key. The protected filing systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package also supports encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on system boot-up.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
Support for reading passwords via streams was added, to support integration with scripts or GUIs. Various internal improvements were made to terminal interaction, memory management, and error trapping. Documentation of known problems was improved in the README file.
