encrypting file system using AES 256 bit
Experts,
I am trying to encrypt my filesystem using the AES 256 bit type of encryption. I am using FreeBSD 5.4 and need to encrypt one of the mounted points. Does anybody have any good idea of how to do it?
Is there any documentation about encrypting the disk partition as this method is more safer I guess. Please advice?
I heard lots of ways to generate passpharse. Does anybody have any good idea.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Jim
