Encrypted home in Ubuntu
This article is like a second edition to Encrypted home in Ubuntu (or Kubuntu

). Important changes include that I have tested it for Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn and it works, but the devices are sd instead of hd due to all hard disk being viewed as SCSI.

The level of security is not high and if you are a real paranoid you should be reading some other tutorials. I am using just a pass-phrase for the encryption so I am susceptible to dictionary attacks, my swap is not encrypted, so some personal information would be available there. But thats Ok. I am not trying to protect from the people with enough sophistication to perform the needed operations to retrieve that information. And if the thing becomes really nasty I bet people can find other ways to access my information. My goal is to protect from the regular thieve or from loosing it so I will mourn for some dollars being lost but I will sleep well at night.
