CryptoFS is a encrypted filesystem for Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) and
|
|
the Linux Userland FileSystem (LUFS). Visit http://fuse.sourceforge.net/
|
|
for more information on FUSE or http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/ for more
|
|
information on LUFS.
|
|
|
|
CryptoFS will use a normal directory to store files encrypted. The
|
|
mountpoint will contain the decrypted files. Every file stored in this
|
|
mountpoint will be written encrypted (data and filename) to the directory
|
|
that was mounted. If you unmount the directory the encrypted data can only
|
|
be access by mounting the directory with the correct key again. Like other
|
|
FUSE/LUFS filesystems it does not need root access or any complicated setup
|
|
like creating a filesystem on a encrypted disk using the loop device.
|
|
|
|
CryptoFS can be build for FUSE and LUFS. When you build for FUSE you get a
|
|
program to mount the filesystem. For LUFS a shared library will be built
|
|
that can be used by LUFS's lufsd. Both methods can use the same encrypted
|
|
directory.
