Dual password encryption with EncFS (Red Hat Magazine)
Red Hat Magazine provides a "how
to" on using two passwords with the EncFS encrypted filesystem.
"John Doe is a sales agent. He is using EncFS to protect data on his laptop. This includes day-to-day activities like e-mails, meeting appointments, todo list, etc. He is using secondary password stored on USB stick to protect confidential information. This includes upcoming contract details, company financial information, plans for future products. His laptop is stolen and personal password is guessed using dictionary attacks. John Doe did not pick up a strong password. Corporate data is still safe. The USB stick was not stolen."

Dual password encryption with EncFS (Red Hat Magazine) Posted Jun 18, 2007 7:35 UTC (Mon) by pcampe (subscriber, #28223) [Link] Shouldn't be better (at least in term of performances) to use LUKS? I remember I read some impressive benchmarks on how much LUKS is faster than EncFS.
Dual password encryption with EncFS (Red Hat Magazine) Posted Jun 22, 2007 16:13 UTC (Fri) by jond (subscriber, #37669) [Link] One advantage of EncFS is you can copy the back-end files around onto other filesytems, machines etc., even ones not supporting encfs, and still have the data encrypted properly.
