i'm a linux user using encryption with mounting over a loopback-device for file-containers and whole partitions. but i want access (rw) my encrypted data also, when i boot windows (xp). if there are any free implentation for this task for windows are there (free) cross plattform solutions at all?
Cryptoloop HOWTO by Ralf Holzer (last updated: 2004'01'15): There are other tools which allow you to create an encrypted file system. BestCrypt is a commercial product from Jetico. It allows you to create encrypted containers and has a large choice of ciphers. It also offers some nifty features such as hidden containers. It is available for Windows and Linux, which makes it suitable for interchanging encrypted containers between Windows and Linux. BestCrypt now compiles on 2.6 kernels as well. Cryptoloop can also create containers that can be moved around, by creating the encrypted file system within a file as described below. I don't know of a way to access the Cryptoloop'encrypted files from other operating systems such as Windows. In this case, BestCrypt may be your only choice. -- Regards, ASK
