Well,
In my view, anything that makes a crackers job harder is well worth it.
Basically it becomes; "is it worth my time?" Its more like deterrence from my
perspective.

Subject: Encrypted kernelHello Everybody!
I am new on the list and I did not want to be inpolite for this reason I just wanted to say hello or hola.
My question is about the Linux kernel. It is specifically about the Encryption features of the Linux kernel. I know we have got modules, which allow the kernel encrypts root file system and more but why should we encrypt the system? Does it make the system more secure?I have found the Encryption HOWTO on http://www.tldp.org but I wanted to know the opinion and thoughts of other people.
Thank you very much,
