Just a reminder, because of the unusual 2nd week of the month:-

PLUG meeting on the subject of encryption of removable storage devices 
e.g. thumb drives, external usb harddrives etc. The idea is that if 
these devices are lost or stolen the data held therein remains safe.

This topic will cover:-
the kernel device mapper plus the cryptographic features now built into 
the Linux kernel (dm-crypt)
The Linux Unified Key structure (luks)
UDEV - so removable devices appear at predictable device nodes in the 
filesystem.

CM018, UCLan C&T building, Fylde Rd, Preston @ 7:30pm, Tues 11th March

Cheers!
