by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting tomorrow! Time: 7pm Location: WPI Mid-Century Room (rm 331) Topic: LUKS In light of our talk with Nick last month, I'm going to talk about LUKS (Linux Unified Key System) LUKS is an open on disk encryption standard that can be used to create encrypted volumes. I'm going to talk a bit about LUKS and then do a demo. Afterwards we'll head off for a burger of pizza. As usual refreshments and snacks will be provided. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
