About:
Qryptix consists of a PAM object and utilities for session- and key-management for encrypted home directories using the International Kernel (CryptoAPI) patches for Linux. It simplifies login/logout, mounting/unmounting, and key generation and changing.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
The salt string that is stored with each key (and used for passphrase hashing) has been increased to 48 bits to deter dictionary attacks; earlier keyfiles with 24-bit salt will still work. If openssh-server (sshd) is installed, it now allows remote logins (using ssh) into a cryptoloop-encrypted home directory. The install instructions now show how to setup multistage cryptoloops (like 2AES, etc.) when creating a keyfile.
