Is there a FileVault alternative for Ubuntu
Is there a FileVault alternative for Ubuntu that I can download from the software centre?
Encryption of your home folder is supported by Ubuntu out of the box. This is an option in the Ubuntu installer. See: EncryptedHome community wiki for more details.
If you want to encrypt a few files, here are a couple of possibilities:
- Cryptkeeper allows you to create a directory where all files will be encrypted (the underlying encryption engine is encfs).
- Easy Crypt allows you to create an encrypted volume, with a storage format compatible with TrueCrypt.
