GoCryptFS
An encrypted overlay filesystem written in Go.
gocryptfs is built on top the excellent go-fuse FUSE library and its LoopbackFileSystem API.
This project was inspired by EncFS and strives to fix its security issues (see EncFS tickets 9, 13, 14, 16). For details on the security of gocryptfs see the SECURITY.md document.
Current Status
Beta. You are advised to keep a backup of your data outside of gocryptfs, in addition to storing the master key in a safe place (the master key is printed when mounting).
That said, I am dogfooding on gocryptfs for some time now. In fact, all gocryptfs development happens inside a mounted gocryptfs filesystem, with no issues so far.
Only Linux is supported at the moment. Help wanted for a Mac OS X port.
Testing
gocryptfs comes with is own test suite that is constantly expanded as features are
added. Run it using ./test.bash
. It takes about 30 seconds and requires FUSE
as it mounts several test filesystems.
In addition, I have ported xfstests
to FUSE, the result is the
fuse-xfstests project. gocryptfs
passes the "generic" tests with one exception, results: 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 exception is generic/035, see go-fuse issue 55 for details. While this is a POSIX violation, I do not see any real-world impact.
Install
$ go get github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs
Use
Quickstart:
$ mkdir cipher plain
$ $GOPATH/bin/gocryptfs --init cipher
[...]
$ $GOPATH/bin/gocryptfs cipher plain
[...]
$ echo test > plain/test.txt
$ ls -l cipher
total 8
-rw-rw-r--. 1 user user 33 7. Okt 23:23 0ao8Hyyf1A-A88sfNvkUxA==
-rw-rw-r--. 1 user user 233 7. Okt 23:23 gocryptfs.conf
$ fusermount -u plain
See MANPAGE.md for a description of available options. If you already
have gocryptfs installed, run ./MANPAGE-render.bash
to bring up the rendered manpage in
the pager (requires pandoc).
Storage Overhead
- Empty files take 0 bytes on disk
- 18 byte file header for non-empty files (2 bytes version, 16 bytes random file id)
- 28 bytes of storage overhead per 4kB block (12 byte nonce, 16 bytes auth tag)
Performance
gocryptfs uses openssl through spacemonkeygo/openssl for a 3x speedup compared to Go's builtin AES-GCM implementation (see go-vs-openssl.md for details).
Run ./benchmark.bash
to run the benchmarks.
The output should look like this:
./benchmark.bash
gocryptfs v0.3.1-30-gd69e0df-dirty; on-disk format 2

Changelog
v0.4
- New command-line options:
-plaintextnames
: disables filename encryption, added on user request-extpass
: calls an external program for prompting for the password-config
: allows to specify a custom gocryptfs.conf path- Add
FeatureFlags
gocryptfs.conf paramter - This is a config format change, hence the on-disk format is incremented
- Used for ext4-style filesystem feature flags. This should help avoid future
format changes. The first user is
-plaintextnames
. - On-disk format 2
v0.3
- Add file header that contains a random id to authenticate blocks
- This is an on-disk-format change
- On-disk format 1
v0.2
- Replace bash daemonization wrapper with native Go implementation
- Better user feedback on mount failures
v0.1
- First release
- On-disk format 0
