Mounting encrypted linux directory on Windows
 

Hello,

I want to make a network drive available to Windows, with the data encrypted within the linux host. As such, even if my linux server is hacked, I won't lose the sensitive data.

Does anyone know how to do it? Is squashfs/samba/putty combination enough to achieve this? Can anyone give me some ideas to start?

Thanks!

So this is not some sort of dual booting, but Windows on a seperate machine?

If so, it should be ok using Samba.

Thanks! What about the encryption? Do I make the data only decrypted at the windows side, but stay encrypted in Linux side all the time?

Thanks!

Yes, that would be an approach that would meet your requirements.

oh! Thanks! would you please tell me how? Which components will I need to meet this? How can I do the encryption and decryption in Windows? Any open source choice?

Thanks again!

Maybe you could use WebDAV and create Web folders using Apache?

Thank you very much Win32sux. Let me google more info on this. have a nice day!
