gocryptfs is built on top the excellent
|
|
|
|
|
[go-fuse](https://github.com/hanwen/go-fuse) FUSE library and its
|
|
|
|
|
LoopbackFileSystem API.

This project was inspired by [EncFS](https://github.com/vgough/encfs)
|
|
|
|
|
and strives to fix its security issues (see EncFS tickets 9, 13, 14, 16).

Current Status
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
* First public release
|
2015-10-06 23:28:20 +02:00
|
|
|
* Feature-complete
|
2015-10-07 23:30:45 +02:00
|
|
|
* Passes the fuse-xfstests "generic" tests with one exception, results: [XFSTESTS.md](XFSTESTS.md)
|
|
|
|
|
* A lot of work has gone into this. The testing has found bugs in gocryptfs
|
|
|
|
|
as well as in go-fuse.
|
|
|
|
|
* The one exceptions generic/035. This is a limitation in go-fuse,
|
|
|
|
|
check out https://github.com/hanwen/go-fuse/issues/55 for details.
|
|
|
|
|
* However, gocryptfs needs more real-world testing - please report any issues via github.
|
2015-10-07 23:50:19 +02:00
|
|
|
* Only Linux operation has been tested. Help wanted for a Mac OS X port.

Performance
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 28 bytes of storage overhead per block (16 bytes auth tag, 12 byte nonce)
|
|
|
|
|
* uses openssl through [spacemonkeygo/openssl](https://github.com/spacemonkeygo/openssl)
|
2015-10-07 23:30:45 +02:00
|
|
|
for a 3x speedup compared to `crypto/cipher` (see [go-vs-openssl.md](openssl_benchmark/go-vs-openssl.md) for details

Run `./benchmark.bash` to run the test suite and the streaming read/write

|
second using openssl.
