Hi,
Last week I was at USENIX where Niels Provos talked about his
implementation of encrypted swap in OpenBSD. What is does is
encrypting all memory that gets swapped out, keeping the encryption
keys in memory. A test showed that all kinds of interesting things
wind up in the swap partition; Niels himself found several passwords
and his PGP passphrase on his own laptop..
So, I think having the option to use encrypted swap on FreeBSD
would be nice. Is anybody already working on this? If not, how do
I get somebody to work on it? ;-)
Cheers,
Walter.
