TrueCrypt

Just a few notes on creating a TrueCrypt volume, mounting it and unmounting it on Linux.

Install truecrypt:

./truecrypt-7.0a-setup-console-x64

Create a truecrypt volume (must be big enough to contain the file(s) you want to encrypt:

truecrypt -c

(the volume I created was called test.tc)

Create a mountpoint for the truecrypt volume:

mkdir /dev/mapper/truecrypt0

mount the truecrypt volume:

truecrypt test.tc /dev/mapper/truecrypt0

Copy the file(s) to the truecrypt volume:

cp <FILENAMES> /dev/mapper/truecrypt0/

unmount the truecrypt volume

truecrypt -d /dev/mapper/truecrypt0
