Default Disk Encryption for Solaris 9

Is there such a thing?

I know theres an encryption pack for Solaris 10. Would this do disk
encryption?

Basically, I need to build a few Jumpstart laptops which will be used
to build Solaris 9 systems. Trouble is the requirement is that they
must be encrypted.

Any suggestions?

I suppose I could run Solaris 10, along with encryption pack, on the
laptops but still build Solaris 9 using Jumpstart? Is that possible?

Yes, you can have as many served OSs as you have disk space for.

I'm not aware of any whole-disk encryption products for Solaris though.
The Encryption 10 encryption kit doesn't do it as far as I can tell.

There was talk of having encryption support for zfs file systems and
support through lofi, both in OpenSolaris rather than Solaris 10. I'm
not sure how far these initiatives have got, but I guess that the kind
of customers you have who are mandating Solaris 10 will not be happy
with something as uncommercial as OpenSolaris.

I guess you could have a Windows or Linux system with encrypted file
system such as pointsec, safeboot or dm-crypt and run your jumpstart
server as a host under VMware, but it's rather messy to say the least.
