I've been working on updating the Crypto Guide (or Encryption and Privacy Guide) [1] but I've run into a few snags.  Karsten "Quaid" and I have been talking about the different information that should be included but we've come to a point where we need input from the group.

Originally the Crypto Guide was written to show how to implement LUKS disk encryption within Fedora.  This has been done and tested.  Being that this is the "Encryption and Privacy Guide" proposed topics to include in the guide are:

- - LUKS Disk Encryption Solution
- - eCryptfs Disk Encryption Solution
- - GnuPG (GPG) File Encryption Solution
- - GnuPG (GPG) Email Encryption Solution
- - SSH
- - VPNs
- - Other related references.

I guess the biggest problem is where do you draw the line between Fedora-specific implementations and good security practices that have information available somewhere else?

So I'm asking you what should be included in the Guide and what shouldn't.  I'm going to try to go put as much information into the topics that are listed above but this has to be out the door for F9 so I don't want to put too much information into it.  If anyone would like to assist writing on any of the above topics please let me know.

Eric
