Unless I have missed it, no one seems to have mentioned the possibility of putting the data on a removable medium and locking it away securely when not in use. Of course, someone could set the computer to intercept the data when accessed, but the same would be true for encryption, and I certainly trust a good sturdy locked box more than any encrypted filesystem. You could do both of course, encrypted filesystem on a removable drive. If the data really _is_ highly confidential, rather than that being rhetoric, then better still to dedicate a machine to it (say buy a cheap laptop just for this data) and lock the whole damn thing away so no one but you touches it. If necessary, import and export data (very carefully) on floppys. Make sure you dispose of the floppys with extreme prejudice. -- Mail me as MYFIRSTNAME () MYLASTNAME org uk _O_ |<
