And SUSE should consider evaluating dm-crypt as soon as possible, in my opinion.
As you are obviously very familiar with that stuff would you care to help? Maybe we can start by creating a wiki page gathering information about the current state of everything. I have a lot of information in a document i made two years ago but im not sure if all that is still valid.
I would certainly like to have a look at it. And Wiki sounds always good.
We definately need to do something _for_ the future and we need to keep up to changes in that area.
Would you care to take on the title "openSUSE cryptofs officer"? :)
Would that be equivalent to a senior solutions engineer rubber title or below? :) I also certainly wouldn't say no if you are asking me to review concepts, submit patches to scripts and so on. I certainly have no vacancies left to take over any sort of maintainership, unfortunately. And I'm not a cryptographer either, so hardcore crypto review is outside my capabilities, as are in-depth kernel implementation issues. I neither may not be the best man to write YasT plugins and the like, as it would mean learning a lot of stuff concerning the python (?) backend to YasT. Furthermore, some of SUSE's administrative interfaces seem to change from time to time, to put it mildly:) Best regards Oliver __ ________________________________________creating IT solutions Dr. Oliver Tennert Senior Solutions Engineer CAx Professional Services science + computing ag phone +49(0)7071 9457-598 Hagellocher Weg 71-75 fax +49(0)7071 9457-411 D-72070 Tuebingen, Germany O.Tennert@science-computing.de www.science-computing.de
