The code is all out there, and well understood. Linux drivers for example exist to use a pass phrase to encrypt block devices. I wonder if that could be integrated into VirtualBox so that all guests running on any host can benefit. One use case for VirtualBox is when using a work laptop for private purposes, say reading email, playing the odd game etc. A good way to do this is to install your favourite OS in a VirtualBox, and to encrypt it in-case of loss or even worse, an audit! This way you avoid the potential problems of installing your own software on a work machine. So, possible? Probable?",enhancement,closed,virtual disk,VirtualBox 1.6.2,fixed,encryption,,other,other
