Well if you want to encrypt something make it properly, don’t stop halfway saying – “It’s good enough”, unless it’s nothing of true value…

Then why to bother with encryption – just fiddle with dir permissions

Anyway, dm-crypt container is good material for tutorial…

Yep, cryptoloop approach is not so secure as LUKS or truecrypt but is still makes it possible encrypt a filesystem within a file and store it on a usb flash, CD or other storages. I’m about to write an article how to create encrypted candy using truecrypt

Jesus…
Cryptoloop is deprecated. It’s not safe. It’s been compromised. It’s not even developed anymore.
Use cryptsetup or LUKS – not cryptoloop.

micxer, you can use flash drive at any computer with windows, mac, linux whatever but 16GB.candy.bin can be opened in Linux/Unix only. This approach means you can cut some part of flash drive, encrypt it into a file and use the rest of flash drive (that can be FAT formatted) for not sensitive data like movies or photos.

Interesting article, but at the beginning you wrote about using it with Windows and Mac as well yet all the commands are for Linux only. Is there any way to use this method on the other systems as well?

Peto, you can use the following approach: use md5sum of some common phrase, say, "to be or not to be". Using Linux command line you can create long and secure password from any text phrase: [artemn-laptop@artemn]$ echo "to be or not to be" | md5sum [artemn-laptop@artemn]$ f9d804763c3031cc22323d79e165b562 -

And where do you store that long password which is impossible to remember?
