hi all,
I was wondering if anybody has come across an open source
implementation for Linux that does the following:
1. Encrypt files based on individual users' keys (similar to that of
TCFS)
2. There is no need to mount with a particular file system like TCFS
and CryptFS does. The user is able to create files ANYWHERE (where
permission is allowed) and the file will be encrypted with his/her key.
3. The operation of encryption and decryption should be transparent
to the user. User should be able to work with the file(s) with any
application.
4. Any temporary files , like ".filename.swp' created by "vi" should
also be encrypted.
Well, maybe that was just a wish list, but if there is one, that
will be very nice indeed. Otherwise, I was thinking about writing one.
In that case, where do I start? Perhaps by working on the existing VFS?
Any suggestions?
Thank You
