Creating an encrypted volume
I needed to meet my company's required security policy for taking source code offsite: 256bit AES encryption.
Since the source code I had on my laptop was within a Virtual Machine, I thought it would be a good solution to make an encrypted filesystem big enough for the VM, and only mount it when I wanted to work.
Here's my requirements:
- Encrypted FS that is (un)mountable whenever need be
- Passphrase to mount the filesystem
- 30GB of storage within the filesystem, to accomodate the 30GB VM disk.
