Cross-platform encryption solution

All, I've been using PGPDisk for the past few weeks to keep client data secure on my laptop. Recently I've also converted my laptop to dual-boot between Windows and Linux, to make it easier to get my work done when testing clients and reduce the amount of file juggling I have to do between different PCs. My issue arises though, in that I can't mount a PGPDisk file in Linux. So my question: Is anyone aware of an encryption solution that will work in both Windows and Linux environments? For those that are unaware, PGPDisk provides a sort of crypto-loop directory that I can mount and store files in, then unmount, without encyrpting/decrypting each file manually. I can then move this encyrpted PGPDisk from machine to machine and mount it again using my PGP keys. Is there anything? Or am I stuck having to create unencrypted copies of works-in-progress to move between Windows and Linux? jth --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
