Encrypted USB keys made easy with GNU/Linux

I’ve posted before (actually one of my first posts on this blog), about the way I use a USB storage key to host crypted informations and manage it easily on my GNU/Linux laptop… it was not really obvious though.

There seems to be a new way to do that with the use of device-mapper and LUKS, which is going to be integrated in the desktop tools in Gnome. Great, one more of my hacks that can be replaced by standard tools.

    Your link; http://www-inf.int-evry.fr/~olberger/weblog/2005/08/23/storing-passwords-on-usb-key/ doesn’t work. It returns “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”

  2. Hehe… looks like I had not published it at all…

    Weird… Thanks for the report.
