Block Device Level Encryption   
In Linux we could use the dm-crypt + LUKS (cryptsetup) to encrypt and decrypt disks,partitions, logical volumes.
Is there any similar or equivalent utility available in QNX 7.0.0.

Thanks

QNX 7 offers the Merkle filesystem on top of the regular QNX filesystem for integrity, and the QNX filesystem does have 
an encryption module that can be used as an option.

Re: Block Device Level Encryption   
Hi
Thanks for your response.
As far as my understanding the "fsencrypt" will be used to encrypt the files and folders which are part of the QNX 
system.

The usecase that I am trying is

Encrypt a folder/directory (with subdirectories and files inside) in a host operating system running LINUX.
This encrypted folder/directory should be decrypted in the target operating system which will be running QNX.

I am able to implement the above usecase on a LINUX HOST and LINUX TARGET system using dm-crypt + LUKS (cryptsetup). but
 not on QNX TARGET since cryptsetup is not there.

Thanks
