In reply to: Which is the real software suspend? by NCunningham
Parent article: Which is the real software suspend?

I've been wondering about setting this up on my laptop. One caveat is
that I would like to have an encrypted swap partition when I move to 2.6.
Will the compression plugin support be through the cypto API? Will this
allow encrypted suspend images?

There isn't a CRYPTO api plugin for suspend2 at the moment, but you could make one :>.

Suspend2 plugins work in a pipeline, so a crypto plugin could take compressed data, encrypt it and feed to the next plugin in the chain. It shouldn't be hard to implement, and people on the suspend list would certainly be willing to help.
