Hi, everyone!
Recently, as I told on another thread, I installed openSUSE in dual boot with Windows.
I would like to encrypt a partition I use to store my personal files (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music and Videos). I want to use a file system that can be mounted read/write on both Linux and Windows.
Is there any recommendation/advising/suggestion on which encrypted file system I could use to achieve that?
I searched the opensuse and opensuse-factory mailing lists and didn't find any for Leap 42.3 and 15.0.
openSUSE docs talks about LUKS, but I googled briefly and LUKS support on Windows is abandonware...
Maybe I explain better showing my partition setup:
Windows recover partition - 499MB Windows reserved partition - 99MB Windows (C:) - NTFS - 100GB openSUSE (/) - Btrfs - 100GB Personal files (D:) - NTFS - 200GB * Home (/home) - XFS - 30.53GB ** Swap - 16GB
* This partition I want to encrypt and have it accessible on both Linux and Windows
** This partition I just want to encrypt
Thank you in advance!
Hello: I don't know if there is any program that works both in windows and linux and can encrypt partitions directly. But there are at least 2 programs which work in both linux and windows: bestcrypt (https://www.jetico.com/) - proprietary, currently supports (works on) opensuse 13.x 42.1 42.2 but not 42.3 and Leap 15.0. It is available in binary form, and builds custom kernel modules at installation. veracrypt (https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html) - open source, free. Available in binary form, does not require kernel modules, works on more systems than bestcrypt, I guess. With both you can create large encrypted files which can be formatted to different file systems that can be mounted where you want. I don't know if working with 100-200 GB files is feasible, but a few 10 GBs is not a problem.
