1. Comment - Can Linux do BitLocker better than Windows 7?

   (Jul 5, 2009 - 12:01 AM)

   First of all I agree with bousozoku, who would even question this, Linux has had integrated encryption for as long as I can remember, even if it meant enabling a non default package, it was always just a click away. Second, I know it is not encryption in itself but SE Linux, endorsed by the NSA, the code people. I personally use Fedora 11 set up with FDE, all you have to do is check a box during install. There is also a built in encryption key manager which can find people's public PGP keys from MIT's database, once you have the key it just takes a simple right click --> encrypt. Of course all of this is integrated with the default mail client so it will automatically (after authentication) decrypt any messages sent to your public key. [I know this is different than file encryption for storage, just demonstrating the encryption integration and attention to security found in Linux]
