Is anybody looking at trying it out for FreeBSD? Is it really cool? I've always thought that crypted swap is a waste of time, given the fact that access to the swap device implies far more serious problems already. Now that we have a reference to Niels' paper, though, we can see what his motivation for developing this was. We should definitely not even consider this until we're sure it's useful. I'd hate to introduce source just for the purposes of keeping our bullet list as long as OpenBSD's. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
