About:
cryptmount is a utility for creating and managing secure filing systems on GNU/Linux systems. After initial setup, it allows any user to mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by the kernel dm-crypt system and the libgcrypt library) can be used to protect both the filesystem and the access key. The protected filing systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package also supports encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on system boot-up.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
German translations for the main application were added. The interactive setup script was internationalized. French translations for the setup script were added. Support for default filesystem parameters within the master configuration file was added. Support for multiple password attempts was added. Dependence on the OpenSSL library was removed.
