Creating a Safe Directory with PAM, EncFS |
"This HowTo is about creating a
user-session-safe directory which offers security on- and
offline. This is done with PAM, a module named pam_script and Encfs
('Encrypted Filesystem'). This safe directory is used to store
credentials and other sensitive information during a session. When
a usersession is ended, in the worst case an encrypted directory
remains on the harddrive. In the best case everything is removed.
This construction is only meant to store information during a
session, not for documents or any other valid
information."
