Secure virtual memory the OSX way

In case you're using a Mac with a Tiger inside, you can enable 'Secure Virtual Memory' in the system settings. That'll make the VM encrypt data before it's swapped to disk.

Seems like you might have to do fancy things to make it work properly when sleeping, though: http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2006/10/sleepmode/index.php
