I've heard it in both contexts. The more popular context I've heard it

I believe this refers only to inventing your own algorithm, just
writing your own implementation of existing and tested algorithms is
fine.
Though, is encrypted root partition even desirable?
Since it only keeps your data safe when your machine is powered off, I

I do intend to. I noticed that ubase doesn't have one.

Not specifically, but I had heard of loop-device based encryption
before. The manpage for losetup states that support for such was removed
in favor of dm-crypt.

Thanks, I'll have a look. More and more I'm finding I like what I hear about
the BSD way of doing things, as compared to Linux.

Thanks for your reply. This does help, actually; while I'm making an effort to
avoid OpenSSL (and even LibreSSL), I can't imagine I'll be able to avoid GnuPG

Hi! I like OpenBSD and FreeBSD disk
encryption setup :) R
All,
Working on another statically-linked Linux distro.
Getting an encrypted root partition is a problem. The kernel has built-in
support for this and I am plenty familiar with it. But the supporting userspace
tool, cryptsetup, is way too bloated and has too many dependencies, including
OpenSS
