Hi Matt,

 

Have a look at: http://www.truecrypt.org/ 

 

It will probably do what you are looking for.

Subject: [Newbies] PGP Encrypting & Squeak VM

 

Hi guys,

A little background: My work laptop has this really cool PGP whole-disk
encryption software on it. The entire hard drive is encrypted, so that if my
laptop is stolen, all of the data is safe. When the machine boots, I enter a
passphrase which, I believe, enables the replaced hard disk driver to read
the encrypted disk.

Wouldn't it be cool to have this sort of functionality built into the Squeak
VM? Once could encrypt their image file once and then it is only available
after entering the correct passphrase.

Sorry, maybe that's not making a whole lot of sense, but I'm excited about
the idea of carting my image around on usb drive and not having to worry
about shredding it off of any computer I use.

matt.
