| Hi, I think what I wrote in the bounty suggestion was not detailed enough...: The ideal solution of course would be to have both a working os/2 version providing TrueCrypt "objects" as well as having access to those objects that were created on other platforms (e.g. a TrueCrypt "Share" on a windows or linux server from an OS/2 client and vice versa). Looking at TrueCrypt, I think the os/2 and eCS platforms would greatly benefit from such enhancements. At least, I would like to have a way of encrypting important data like business finances and - why not - passwords... Greetings |

| ...just to let you know: I've sent an email to one of the guys from TrueCrypt.org to point them to our bounty (because on their site they said something about "supporting more platforms" was a planned for the future). >Hello, ...maybe they'll be posting something on their site about our "efforts", I don't know. I also told them that we'ld be pleased if they'ld include a link to our bounty for interested developers... we'll see, maybe it'll help. Greetings Sincerely, |

| There has been a secure & compressed files IFS: Zipstream & Zipstream SEcure. I never managed to get version 2.0 running reliably here + you still see all the files on the drive + no linux version AFAICS. Unfortunately, the company's internet site Last thing was the announcement of version 2.0 - has this been released? Anyway, maybe one of the guys down under can provide some help in porting TRueCript to an OS/2 IFS - ideally maintaining windows/inux compatibility. Cheers |

| A hardware solution like the X-Wall chip from eNova (http://www.enovatech.net/products.htm) would be better. Abit has the SecureIDE solution (Price: http://www.geizhals.at/eu/a109097.html) equipped with the X-Wall chip but it's only using the 40 Bit DES encryption. Last month a user on os2.org said it would not work with eCS (OS/2) because it will tough the partition. Maybe he's right...maybe not.
If I read the following information about the SecureIDE device it should work as everything is encrypted:
I'll go to the CeBIT next month I look if I can find something there. Regards, Juergen Ulbts (Germany) *** Java Movie Database - http://www.jmdb.de *** |

| Hmmm TrueCrypt looks a bit like the NetDrive Chipher plugin. The SecureIDE thingie looks very interesting. |

...basically yes, but TrueCrypt is: Anyway: If someone comes up with a Cipher plugin that handles TrueCrypt objects... great! Greetings |

I just bought a ABIT SecureIDE device on eBay (11,50 EUR incl. shipping). Have a nice weekend! [EDIT] Regards, Juergen Ulbts (Germany) *** Java Movie Database - http://www.jmdb.de *** |

| It took my a little bit longer then expected but I finally had the time to test the SecureIDE. It works using eCS (LVM). There is nothing more to say. ![]() Now I only need a stronger X-Wall chip, as 40 Bit DES is to easy to break. *** Java Movie Database - http://www.jmdb.de *** |
