[-=] About [=-]
This is a quick rundown on how to encrypt files, containers, and drives under
Linux. The use of loopback encrypted filesystems and openssl is explained
and examples are given. This paper should have you encrypting in no time. The
following commands were done running kernel 2.6.9.

I'll outline how to create encrypted containers and drives using the loopback
filesystem support and file encryption via openssl.
