GoCryptFS

An encrypted overlay filesystem focused on security and correctness.

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

  • First public release
  • Feature-complete
  • Passes the xfstests "generic" tests

Install

go get github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs

Performance

  • 28 bytes of storage overhead per block (16 bytes auth tag, 12 byte nonce)
  • uses openssl through spacemonkeygo/openssl for a 3x speedup compared to crypto/cipher (see go-vs-openssl.md) for details

Run ./benchmark.bash to run the test suite and the streaming read/write benchmark. The benchmark is run twice, first with native Go crypto and second using openssl.

The output should look like this:

$ ./benchmark.bash
