Are there any encrypted file systems available for Solaris 10?

  • 772

BACKGROUND: We are running Unidata 7.2-5 on Solaris 10 for our data warehouse. There is no database encryption option that works well with our applications. We were looking at ZFS, but it seems that ZFS will only be available under OpenSolaris.

Any other suggestions for some type of EFS under Solaris 10?

    According to : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptographic_file_systems
    ZFS filesystem encryption is due for integration in Q1 2010.

    OpenSolaris gets all the new stuff for ZFS earlier then Solaris 10 (think Fedora and RHEL).

    After a quick google search I found this (not really suited for production):

    Popular UFS or VxFS do not have any encryption support.
