I did a quick search and found only the following (via Wikipedia):
Knoppix MIB ( http://www.bouissou.net/knoppix-mib/doc-html/Knoppix-Mib.html )
Knoppix MIB is a Knoppix based LiveCD with focus on privacy issues.
Features: encrypts personal files to a USB storage device,
automatically encrypts all data used on a hard drive swap space,
automatic mount of persistent home directory at boot up,
postfix MTA with TLS encryption, preconfigured with provided generic
certificates, automatic restoration of optional custom system configuration,
without needing to type specific boot parameters.
