# Is there an encrypted filesystem for Linux out there? I'm speaking of
# something like Secure File System(DOS), but for Linux. The kernel in
# question is 1.1.59, soon to be upgraded to a later version. IDE drive,
# ex2fs formatted file system.
I've thought about porting Matt Blaze's "cfs" to linux.
For several reasons:
-- because I trust his practical crypto ability more than mine
or most anyone else's
-- because it runs in user-level code rather than in the
kernel -- making both installation and development
much easier
-- because it's had some serious usage and refinement
Q: What is it in the "cfs" code that makes it BSD-specific?
How much work would it be to overcome that?
thx, strick
