firebird on ecrypted file sytems (linux and windows)
On ubuntu linux i use encfs to create an virtual partition where i put my databases (and email, im logs) , Here is an howto create such an partition . On windows (i didn’t tested yet) but i heard about truecrypt (is an open source product). Here is an quote from their faq
Q: Is it possible to install an application to a TrueCrypt volume and run it from there?
A: Yes.
I’m using Dekart Private Disk Light, a free version for personal use. It is very easy to install and configure and you can install programs on such a disk.
The question is whether you can put Firebird database on it. It won’t work with Dekart, and one has test TrueCrypt for sure – remember, we can use only physical drives.
I’ve successfully put a Firebird database on a TrueCrypt encrypted USB-drive.
