Encrypted Partitions using Linux Live Live CD
    #18466115 - 06/24/13 04:51 PM (10 years, 10 months ago)

For quite some time now, I've been contemplating using a Linux Live CD and it was recommended to me that I use encrypted partitions. Now this certainly seems like a wise move as I've been using TrueCrypt for Windows for quite some time.

Does anyone have any experience using these can shine some light on them? A brief explanation and maybe even some tutorials would be awesome. I'm a little tight for time at the moment or I'd go about hunting them down myself.

I just wanted to know if anyone had experience using them. My one and only real concern with a Live CD is where do I store any interesting files. One possibility was sending myself emails but this seems a bit of a pain in the ass if I'm being totally honest.

You can create a file on a usb key or the systems hard drive which gets mounted using the loopback device as an encrypted filesystem.

To make it quick and easy to mount, you can make a shell script with the mount command / arguments.

Solutions like TrueCrypt are nice, and almost certainly represent a robust enough solution for your situation.  I have a few clients that have to meet HIPAA guidelines, and I set up TrueCrypt for all of them.

Running an OS from a USB drive is a viable solution with certain benefits and detriments, but isn't the best for everybody and is not required to have a very high level of privacy.  You can create persistent data partitions that live alongside the linux partition if you so desire.  If you want to run an OS off of a hard disk, you can certainly do so without much worry.  If you prefer a Windows OS, look into combining a Trusted Platform Module hardware solution with a BitLocker software solution.  In such a case it would be a considerable effort involving tremendous resources, which would most likely fail, for law enforcement to retrieve your data.  For Linux look into dm-crypt.  Please use a real password, not what is easy to type.  I've had to recover data from a number of systems that use encryption after employees left on bad terms, etc., and I've almost always been able to do so heuristically.
