On Linux, encryption can be layered on top of a file system |
|
|
|
|
using a <quote>loopback device</quote>. This allows an entire |
|
|
|
|
file system partition to be encrypted on disk, and decrypted by the |
|
|
|
|
operating system. On FreeBSD, the equivalent facility is called |
|
|
|
|
GEOM Based Disk Encryption (<acronym>gbde</acronym>), and many |
|
|
|
|
other operating systems support this functionality, including Windows. |
|
|
|
|
Storage encryption can be performed at the file system level or the |
|
|
|
|
block level. Linux file system encryption options include eCryptfs |
|
|
|
|
and EncFS, while FreeBSD uses PEFS. Block level or full disk |
|
|
|
|
encryption options include dm-crypt + LUKS on Linux and GEOM |
|
|
|
|
modules geli and gbde on FreeBSD. Many other operating systems |
|
|
|
|
support this functionality, including Windows. |
