Jan 5, 2010

I've just started using ubuntu one. However, some of the files I store on there are sensitive so I encrypt them using seahorse. Right click, encrypt etc etc. My question is, is there a way to automatically get the encrypt process to delete the un-encrypted file when it makes the new encrypted copy?

Ubuntu Security :: Main Encrypted LVM Not Accessible After Deleting A Different Encrypted LVM On USB HD

Mar 7, 2011

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 64 on my laptop with the entire 500gb setup as encrypted LVM. This has worked well for several months with no problems. During this time i have been backing up the data to an external usb drive (1tb) on a regular basis. The usb drive was not encrypted. So, I thought it would be a good idea to encrypt the backup drive too. I wiped out the backup drive and set it up as one large encrypted lvm and mbr. This seemed to work fine but immediately afterwards I decided to erase that and set it up as encrypted lvm guid instead of mbr. I couldn't delete it while logged into my desktop so i decided to do it from a bootable gparted usb stick. In gparted i erased the 1TB backup drive once again and planned on setting it up the way I wanted once I was logged back into my ubuntu desktop. Now I cant boot into my desktop with the following errors:

cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available b0d) does not begin with /dev/mapper/

Then after waiting for a few minutes I get an error followed by (initramfs)

When booting from a live version of ubuntu the 250MB boot patition is recognized and 500 partion is there but it is labeled as empty/unused.

Also, I did choose to use the exact same passphrase as what is used on the main bootable drive when I set up the encrypted partition on the external 1TB drive.

Ubuntu :: Execute Python Code Before Shutdown

Dec 2, 2010

I have written a backup script backing up the data I have worked during the day with rsync and sends me a log in my email. now it works perfect but i want to execute it each time i shutdown my computer in the evening not during reboot or logout.It seems that i can not run it by putting it in init.d and softlinking in rc0.d as K00backup. I think it is because script uses many services like python or smtplib, gnome-keyrings that in that time might have been already shutdown.

Ubuntu Security :: Backup And Encrypt Using GPG

Jan 20, 2010

I'm currently writing a simple script which uses luckyBackup to backup my /home directory to /tmp. I then want to tar it, encrypt it with gpg and move it onto a usb stick. My question is that suppose my hard disk died and I needed to restore from this USB backup, would I still be able to decrypt the file given that I would have lost gpg keys etc when the disk died? (I would still know the passphrase though). Should I be backing up gpg files separately?

Ubuntu Security :: How To Encrypt A 9.10 Flash Drive

Feb 16, 2010

I loaded Ubuntu desktop onto my flash drive with the USB Installer For Ubuntu from [url]

I'll be placing sensitive data on the drive & need to figure out how to encrypt it. From what i've read so far, the easiest way will be to encrypt the swap, /home, tmp, temp files. Not quite sure how to do this. I'd prefer to encrypt the whole drive, but this seems quite complicated.

Ubuntu Security :: Encrypt A USB Stick Partition?

Oct 28, 2010

I'm trying to think of the best way to encrypt a partition on my flash drive.

I plan on storing ssh/pgp keys on it for use on different computers (including school computers, where I won't have administrative access).

TrueCrypt is going to require admin access to decrypt and mount the partition, I think, so that's out.

Are there any other methods you all would recommend?

Ubuntu Security :: Encrypt With Right Click Safe?

Jul 13, 2011

I just found a neat way to encrypt a file in Ubuntu 10.04.

I right click on a file and select the Encrypt option. The program prompts me to "Choose Recipient" so I choose myself on the list. Then it prompts me to enter my passphrase.

Once all that's done I hit enter and it adds .pgp to the end of whatever file just encrypted. The same basic method is used to Sign the file.

Does it sound as though what I said is correct and that the file I wanted to encrypt was indeed encrypted?

Can anyone crack my files without the passphrase? I'm sure it depends on the complexity and length of the passphrase.

Security :: Encrypt Swap Disk Partition?

Apr 5, 2011

Is it better to use:

Code: -c aes-cbc-essiv -y -s 512 Or:
Code: -c aes-xts-plain -y -s 512

I've never encrypted a disk before; I'm following the Arch wiki (I'm a newbie, basically). Should I try and encrypt my swap partition (I've got 512 MB RAM, 1 GB swap)? Ideally, I'd like to make it so it's not feasible for someone (even a very skilled someone) to access my files (and system -- I'm encrypting /), but still make it fairly fast and usable for day-to-day operations. If it matters any, I'm using JFS.

Security :: Encrypt Folder So It's Accessible To Cron?

Jan 5, 2011

I have a script that crond runs each night. The script pulls some sensitive files from an SFTP server and stores them in a folder on the local machine.I need to encrypt those files on the filesystem. Ideally, I could encrypt the folder they're stored in to require a password whenever the files are accessed. The problem is that then crond wouldn't be able to access the files. Using something like ecryptfs would allow the cron script to mount the encrypted storage by supplying the password, but now the keys to the kingdom are just sitting in a cron shell script.

Is there a good way to approach this? One thought I had was finding a tool that lets cron encrypt the files using a public key, then require a password to decrypt them (silently using the password to access the related private key)I don't want too much complexity on the decryption side, because I will have relatively non-tech people needing to access those files occasionally.

Ubuntu Security :: Encrypt Files Using The Keys - Generate ?

Sep 8, 2010

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. I love the passwords and keys application, but was somewhat surprised at the lack of a context menu in gnome to encrypt a file.

In general, I cannot find how to encrypt files using the keys I generate. Maybe I'm missing something? Probably, I just thought since Ubuntu comes with OOB key generation it would have OOB encryption capabilities.

I've read about seahorse and other ways to ADD encryption, I'm just wondering if ubuntu does it natively. It'd be a good idea to add to brainstorms, right click and encrypt.

Ubuntu Security :: Encrypt Passwords On USB Flash - What Distro?

Dec 27, 2010

How would You encrypt Passwords [emails,forums,accounts] onto USB Flash the most Secure way? (It should be command line so I can use any Linux distribution on it.) Is gpg -c <filename> secure enough ? And what FAST distro would you install on it? I'm learning on old USB flash and found SliTaz pretty damn cool,I use it as a LiveUSB. Also I've tried Kubuntu but it's bit slow. Going to try Lubuntu soon too. Any other idea?

And I'd like to install some FAST distro onto new 8GB mini USB flash drive,maybe Kubuntu as well. How would you partition its Flash drive? Probably separate partition for stored encrypted files?
