Hello,
I have a laptop with dual boot with one NTFS partition so that both Windows and Linux can read/write to it. I use ntfs-3g to mount the partition with Fedora 8. Is there any way to have encryption on that NTFS partition that works for both Windows and Fedora 8 ? My main concern is protecting the data in case the laptop gets stolen, etc.
I did some Google searches but haven't come up with any real lead yet.

You can't have looked very hard.
http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#questions says:

        "NTFS supports built-in, transparent compression and encryption
        of files and directories on the file system level. Reading
        transparently compressed files are supported but writing of
        compressed and encrypted files is denied."

poc

I think maybe that was his point that ntfs-3g didn't support being able to write compressed and encrypted files and was asking if there was such a beast so he could. Another respondent pointed to TrueCrypt.org as a possible solution.
