About a couple of months ago I wrote an entry level article on encrypted file systems for a local magazine. A PDF copy is at http://sitaramc.googlepages.com/encrypted-file-systems.pdf -- I think it should answer a lot of questions. [If anyone else takes a look at it and has comments, please let me know.
