    ----
Hi folks,

Does anyone know of a solution that will allow me to encrypt an entire linux hard disk, and requires multiple keys, or key/password combination to unlock?

Reason being for PCI compliance stuff, I require that 2 people need to be present to access a box

Many Thanks

PGP WDE does the same thing as well e.g. Two Factor Auth.

Hi ryansutton,

Trucrypt only does Full Disk Encryption on windows Sad

matt_s, I'll look into PGP WDE Smile

I also found this: https://mknowles.com.au/wordpress/2009/12/02/ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10-%E2%80%93-full-disk-encryption-with-usb-key-authentication-v2/

What you think of that?

Thanks
